Relaxing Sunday

With the southern reaches of typhoon Morakot leaving us a rainy gray day, and no need to head out to finish up any errands, we were able to spend a nice quiet day inside. Earlier on Saturday I had gone out and purchased a new DVD player for us. Our other one was getting really cranky and had pretty much decided that it didn't want to play most of the movies that we had purchased. We've taken several DVD's back and explained that they were bad copies - the girls there had tried to tell us that it was our player, but they were nice enough to let us swap out discs.

It was always hard to tell because some discs would play fine with no problems and some wouldn't play at all. It was only when we started having trouble with DVDs we brought from the States that we finally accepted that it was time to replace the player.

Sunday we verified that and watched a stack of movies that our old player had just refused to play. We got through a lot - The Blue Wolf (this is long and not very accurate, do not bother watching it), Duplicity, Lilo & Stitch, Milk, and several episodes of the new Doctor Who...

Why is the new Battlestar Galactica not on this list? I do not understand.

Oh yea, sorry we didn't call this weekend. We have to admit, it was loud, oh, and we were kind of drunk. The heat and, you know, alcohol kind of does that to you...

Battlestar Galactica? Yeah, because that has four seasons - we will let that one wait a little longer prior to jumping into it. We want to be able to dedicate our proper time and attention.

Heat and alcohol? Who are you? And besides, I heard there was no wine tent this year...

Yea, what is up with that?! We were thoroughly disappointed. But alas, they sold another crappy wine instead and the beer tent.
