Sexy and Seventeen

[LPMiller]

Happy Monday. Bleech.

So Saturday, I get another certified letter from the city of Plymouth. Seems they missed a Dutch Elm tree the first time around, and now I have another 20 days to get rid of another tree. Why they couldn't figure this out the first time around, I dunno. I just got the last one cut down.

It's frustrating, because every time I want to actually spend some money, and I think I'm ok to spend some money, I have a tree issue. This has been going on since last September, and I gotta tell you, I was downright ticked off Saturday. So, in a fit of rebelliousness, I gathered up all my old PS2 stuff (I had a lot more of it than I had thought, so it was some good trade in value) and sold it off and got me a PS3.

I figure, if I just go ahead and spend the money anyway, maybe I'll break the chain. Or the tree, in this case.

I've actually been pondering it for awhile, because I did want an up converting DVD player, since 360 doesn't really do that, and frankly I worry using it as my DVD player. I don't want no Red Rings Of Death. And I'm fairly sure even if the PS3 remains in third place as a game player, Blu-Ray is going to win. The signs are all there, just like they were when DVD/DviX started. So, if I'm going to get a blu-ray player anyway, might as well be a PS3, right?

Yeah, I am the master of self justification. BOW BEFORE ME.

It's cool. I don't know about the controller, it's too light, and the trigger buttons annoy. But it's cool. I made my first movie be the remastered Fifth Element (the original Blu-ray release had a horrid image transfer, you can still see it playing in some stores). The remastered version was just beautiful. I love that movie.

"I made my first movie be"? I think my English teachers just all dropped dead at the same time.

At any rate, that became my weekend, playing around with the PS3. And bitching about trees.

You go have a day.
