Netflix catches on, weekEnd update

Blah...When I was trying to sign up for my third free trial with Netflix, I messed up and signed up some how. Luckaly I also sold that old 900mhz cpu for $50. So I'll just get a bunch of movies I've been meaning to see that I haven't seen for a while. Unless they give in to my plea that I messed up while trying to sign up for the free trial and refund my money.

My capture card came Friday. I hooked it up and pulled out an old VCR next to the computer. I stupidly put in one of my old Skate VHS tapes and the thing proceded to eat the tape!!! I was reall ygental and pulled it out with out breaking it. I then put another tape in to test it and it ate that to. So decided to hook up the good VCR to the pc and use the junk vcr for the PS2 and tv. It turns out the trash VCR didnt have all the hooks ups. So i was stumped for a minute and then relised that I already had all the AV cables running from the PC to TV area. I just switched everything so that instaead of AV comeing from the PC to the TV it wwent from the VCR to the PC, ROCK'N! Now I just have to become a Video capture/editor pro, more on that as i get the kinks worked out. The old VCR is in the TRASH. How dare it ruin my old tapes...

We packed alot in this weekend.
-Saturday:To target and used my giftcard for SSX3 for the PS2, tons of fun!!!. Then to Barnes and Noble for a B-Day present. we got Cloudy with a chance of meatballs for Gavin and also picked up a neat mythology book for G. Then Me and G went to Ambers for Gavins birthday. G just played with all the balloons most of the time. I returned them there cleaned out , old PC. Sarah and Ruby went to Kates for her 6month exam and pap. We chilled the rest of the night with SSX3. We even let G play a couple times.
-Sunday: With the house being the mess it is we decided to switch the computer to the smaller desk and Sarahs stuff to the big computer desk. Now that we dont need the 2nd computer to run the scanner(we got that 3-in-1 hp1315). The tower and monitor fit on the desk and the Hp fits on the shelf. The hardest part for me was re running the AV cables under the rug across the doorway. After taht we headed up to Sarahs parents for dinner and Sarah scrapped. i had some beers and DL some awsone Rodney Mullen footage from rodneymullen.net.


i have to UPS the printer at lunch today so no skateing for me.
