I Am Number Four

We went to see I Am Number Four today. It was definitely set up for a sequel, but the movie wasn't very good so I kinda doubt that's gonna happen.

New Nixeus Firmware Improves Text-Based Subtitles

I like the Nixeus Fusion HD media player, but just like the BriteView CinemaTube, the text-based subtitles weren't very good. I had contacted Nixeus about this, so today they sent me an updated firmware to address the issue, and it's fantastic. The text-based subtitles are now very easy to read. So I think it's now time to say goodbye to the BriteView CinemaTube, which the company isn't even supporting anymore.

Belated Valentine's Day Gift

I had to return the Valentine's Day gift I got for Treese because it did not contain everything it was supposed to contain, so today her alternate Valentine's Day gift arrived. I cleared off the table then set it up at an angle so she'd see it when she walked in, and put flowers next to it. She was stunned when she walked in and her eyes landed upon it, so I was happy about that.

World of Warcraft & Michael Jackson: The Experience

After Treese got home from work we picked up some KFC, went over to a friend's to pick up some menudo, then went over to another friend's to have dinner, which was the bucket of chicken we picked up earlier. I helped get World of Warcraft working for them, and Treese tried out Michael Jackson: The Experience for the Wii for the first time. She really enjoyed it. We played other Wii games as well, such as bowling and Sports Resort. It was a good time.

No Soliciting

Some window washer came to the door today looking for some work and totally ignoring our No Soliciting sign. You think we put the sign up because we like the way it looks?

Our neighbor also came by to discuss two of our trees that are close to her fence line. One of the roots has traveled under the fence and is close to ground level, close to pushing the fence upward, so I'll probably have to cut that one. I'll also need to trim a lot of the branches.

Received an e-mail from our ISP saying they they've increased our speed from 8Mbps to 13Mbps. You'll hear no complaints from me!

Saying Hello To Our New Nexius Media Player

Our new Nixeus media player arrived today. From what I've researched beforehand, it looks like it will be much better than our current media player, BriteView CinemaTube, so I guess we'll find out.

Happy Valentine's Day

Hope everyone had a happy Valentine's Day! Unfortunately, my wife's gift still hasn't arrived, even though it was supposed to be here days ago. But, I gave her a heart-shaped box with a note saying her real gift would be late, but would be worth it. I also cooked dinner for her.

Dining Out

My wife and I had a nice dinner out this evening. It was Applebees, so nothing super fancy, but the food was tasty and it felt good to eat out. It's been quite a while since we've done that.

BBQ Dinner With Friends

Some friends of ours came by tonight for a BBQ. Treese cooked up pork on the grill and I made Rice-a-roni. It turned out pretty good. After dinner we watched Dinner For Schmucks, which we found hilarious. We also watched this old show on Hulu called Johnny Sokko and His Flying Robot, which was interestingly bad.

Superbowl Party

My wife's friend came over for a little Superbowl party. We barbecued burgers and generally had a good time. It was a fun day.

Scoring Some Basketball Tickets

I received a call from some lady saying I won a couple basketball tickets. I was a bit suspicious at first, but then I remembered that I had entered some kind of basketball contest online not too long ago... it was one of those coupons that print out after shopping at FoodMaxx and then you go online and enter their codes. So I guess people do really win those things. Too bad it wasn't something we could have actually used. But I'm sure my uncle and his family will like to have them, they're big sports fans.
