Life resumes on Sunday sunday sunday

At least for Kathy it does. The Amazing Race is now up to number 14, that's 14 amazing, uh, races, all around the world. For me life resumed when Psych and Burn Notice returned and as noted before, a Monk episode actually made me laugh for the first time in quite awhile. Not the latest episode (Bully), though, it was as weak as I've come to expect.

If it seems like I spend too much time watching tv it's because it's probably true. But now that we have HD on the DVR with an external HD (750 gigs) to hold even more HD shows, I'm an addict. Nothing like watching James Bond (Sean Connery or Timothy Dalton only please) to brighten your mood. As I type I'm watching Dune in HD which is even better than the DVD, but this version has the scenes I don't care for with Baron Harkonnen and his mentat friend. The theme music in 5.1 shows how underrated Toto was, their music for Dune is easily my favorite for all movie themes. And it's hard to describe how good a show like The Last Mimzy looks in HD, just like looking out a window at a field of flowers, only better since I don't have to weed them.

I spent last night reconfiguring our wireless security, I'm not sure who told me that MAC filtering is the best method but countless posts online argue otherwise, so we went back to WPA2-TKIP which should be better. Of course nothing would connect afterwards so I had to go to each device to set it up again which isn't half as fun as it sounds.

We hoped to have a little Psych party on Friday the 13th but it may turn out to be just Kathy and I since nobody else has agreed to come over. She may not enjoy it much as she has a strong aversion to scary movies, even the Puppet Masters freaked her out and that was about as scary as a bowl of ramen soup. Maybe it will be more funny than scary, it's nearly always funny.

In unrelated news our cat continues to be a self-indulgent brat, proving that I'm not the laziest or most self-indulgent occupant of our household. Which is why I keep her around since she usually fails to find the litter box at some point every day and she's not the friendliest cat in the whole world. Ask anyone she's attacked. She's at her best in the winter when she's at least willing to cuddle a bit, if only to steal some body heat.

It's fun to read everyone's blogs and it's too bad we didn't have this tech a long time ago, you can learn a lot about someone from their random thoughts. Then again, smoke signals weren't that bad and you could show some flourishes if you were skillful.
