Just when you thought it was safe

... to go back in to the living room. I got yet ANOTHER device for the man-tainment center. This brings the total gadget count (not including accessories) to 5, each with corresponding remotes. I declared defeat against the onslaught of IR devices and bough a universal remote. You can see where this is going, can't you? FOUR HOURS (including time to hook up the new toy, WIIII!!!!) This isn't even one of the scary remotes where you're entering codes and hoping all the keys map correctly. This one came with a USB cable, software, and a fairly simple trouble shooting process. It should have been a piece of cake! But no, apparently getting it to switch between "AV" input and "Component1" input correctly every time is damn near impossible. It's as done as I'm getting it. Five remotes consolidated down to two (the wii is bluetooth, can't be controlled by this remote). Now, to get rid of all the packaging debris in my living room =) Anybody need twist ties?

 

WTF?!

Where did December go? Seriously, 18 days is just a blip on the radar when that's the only time you get to spend with your Hubby for 15 months. And now he's gone. Sniffle.

I have a few stories but sadly, almost no pictures. I can, however, show you this amusing before and after shot of my apartment and his all too short stay.

My "Entertainment Center" Before: Busted dvd player that didn't really play any more (bought right around when DVDs were the new hotness and everyone was all "ZOMG DVDS!!1!!1"). 18 inch tv (I think, I guess I could measure it) that I got for my dorm in college 7.5 years ago.



(If you can see this, try clicking here.)

My "Entertainment Center" After: Xbox 360 Pro (the big one). 32 inch LCD tv. Speakers (that's the woofer hanging out on the right side, there). Rock Band and Guitar Hero (and various other games that I probably won't play).




Men are so awesome =D
