Blue-Ray vs. HD-DVD: I'm sitting this one out

Blue-Ray vs. HD-DVD... sounds like VHS vs. BetaMax to me. I'm sitting out on this one. Tell me, why should I waste my money gambling that one format will beat the other? Say I choose Blue-Ray... not that I have... this is purely a hypothetical situation. Ok, so I choose Blue-Ray, buy all these cool and high definition movies, complete a decent movie collection and BAM! HD-DVD has won the high definition war. Now what? I have to buy my collection again on HD-DVD? Are you kidding me?

Enough of that... I'm sticking with good ol' dvd. That's right... and I'll tell you why. I still own a regular tv. No widescreen, no lcd, no plasma, no projection. I tell you I'm lucky to even have a flatscreen tube. Not only this, but I really don't need a movie to be THAT sharp and crisp. My eyes aren't that good... and as I type right at this moment, I am approximately 11 feet away from my tv. The tv could be half fuzzy and at this range, it'd still look the same. /rant off

Ceiling fan pic

Here's the photo of the ceiling fan as promised. It's a nice one... a Harbor Breeze Model from Lowe's. My only gripe is that the light fixtures are the tiny ass Candelabra type instead of the normal socket type. Why is this important? Instead of paying a subsidized $1-2 per CFL bulb, these were $5 each! Oh well, it looks nice and the bulbs are rated to last 7 years...

110% & Ceiling Fans

Last week was an exhaustive week. 37 hours of O/T... some for time, some for pay. The funny thing is that I was looking forward to things slowing down this week, but it's been busy as well. Isn't it ironic how when you have lots of time on your hands, you yearn to have something to do, but when the pedal's to the metal, all you can think about is how nice free time would be?

I can actually feel some fatigue setting in. Most notably is a recurring low-level cramp in my foot. It doesn't seize up like cramp, but I can feel it tighten up every once in a while. Hopefully it's nothing.

Oh, we also got a couple of ceiling fans installed by our handyman. They certainly look great. I might just post a couple of pics of them tonight if my digital camera batteries are still working.
