And Now Playing…
For Father’s Day, Ada got Mac a 400 disc DVD player. We have it almost filled up. It has freed up considerable shelf space, I can sort the DVDs by various options, you don’t have to get up to put in the movie you want to see and to quote Mac:
We are never going to watch all these DVDs. I’m married to a crazy woman*.
I put in the DVDs with a few “I didn’t know we had this” and “this one isn’t even opened yet.” The bad thing about this player is that it does not get the DVD information from all the disks. You can enter it manually. What a chore this is going to be. At least it has an input for a keyboard because selecting letters one at a time with the remote will take forever. We are going through the ones right now playing “Name the movie in the first 5 seconds.” I also realized that I’m missing the following:
The Simpson, Season 4
Indiana Jones movie box set
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind**
Spiderman
Raising Arizona
We also have a nice database for our DVDs that will allow me to publish all that we have online, and keep track of who borrows our DVDs. Now I know without digging through a cabinet what I have. It also let me realize what I don’t have yet.
After picking up this player and adding yet another remote to our collection of now 5 remotes it takes to watch tv at our house, I added a Sony 3100 Remote Commander to the Father’s Day booty. Now we can just misplace one remote, but I have a lot of programming to do to be able to pack away all of the remotes, especially the one for the new DVD player which has a ton of buttons for navigating and editing 400 DVDs.
The weekend is over. I like it when Mac is home. It is getting a little depressing being shut in the house during the week. I only have 6-weeks left though.
**I think I remember who I loaned this one out to though. The others, no idea where they are located.
