scottobearI love her so much! just the sound of her voice sends me into a combination tizzy of laughter, warmth, and happiness. The vcr timer is set to record DBZ for my beloved tomorrow at 1pm. (vcr is set, but it says there's a courage marathon on. I'll record just in case.) I hope she has a good time tomorrow, out and about.
My bro called me up to tell me that he's going to give me some bigtime dinero back that I lent him...all right! (I loan him $ without though of when or if it'll come back.. so when it does, it's like found money.) looks like he's going to get a haircut for it.... that'll be odd... weird seeing him with a trim. I bet he'll look good. we're going to hang out tomorrow, go shopping at the bookstore and maybe swing by target... I'm totally enthused about seeing him...he sounds healthy and solid. He's also going to buy himself a sony playstation... which he'll appreciate more in a year, when I buy a dvd burner. (Can playstation play vcds? I can burn those, now) if you'd like to join us, I'll be here at about noonish-twoish. If you can't make it, I'm sure that photos will be taken.
Supper tonight is curried rice and veggies with a couple of bottles of Killian's. a fine, fine supper for a friday night. spicy, smooth, and fragrant. Newt is very curious about it... but none for the boy. I should put curry in the herb garden.... it's a gift from nature that I'm delighted to have found. I wonder how hard it is to grow? I'm already planning on adding lavender and patchouli to my window box.

Date: 2002-04-20 06:28 am (UTC)What's the hold off on buying the DVD writer? I think it's going to shake down to whichever company wishes to devote the most money and determination to grab the greater share of the market. No matter what they say about compatability between their different modes, I myself am going to stand strong until a singular mainstream standard shakes out of this.
It's so much simpler on the Mac. I have friends who own a 1-1/2 year old G4, I believe it is, and they have a built in DVD writer. One of the benefits of proprietary, centrally-built systems, I guess. I'm envious, though, because I have some movies I'd like to throw on VCD as well and plenty of downloaded, now-out-of-syndication TV shows that total up into the 10's of cds worth. What I'm really glad of, though, is that magnetic storage is being pushed slowly out of the consumer market. I can't say I've ever used a zip disk that didn't find itself corrupted or at "low health" below 100% after a few months use.

Maybe you could find something like this (http://www.lik-sang.com/catalog/product_info.php?category=0&products_id=206&) for your brother. PS2s *can* read VCDs; just not natively/out of the box :)
