How I miss thee popcorn

One of the treats for me and Stef has been to enjoy her excellent popcorn while watching a movie. We gave up popcorn (among other things) for Lent and it has been rough. It's funny how much the act of eating some corn adds to the movie experience. We aren't nearly going through as many movies I think, in part, because of no corn. Not too much longer until Easter!

Upcoming plans

Very little has changed in the last year. We've moved the furniture around. I've installed a remote thermostat for the HVAC (which is shared with the game room in a different part of the house).

The HT is basically done. The little 'replace light' bulb has been on for about a year, and is still going. I figure when the bulb finally goes, I'll just get a new projector. I want to re-do the screen. My neighbor got Sherwin Williams Screen paint and loves it. I want to put trim up around it- but I'm holding off on both these until I replace the aforementioned projector. The Home Theater PC is more useful- I'm using it to watch HD-DVD movies (yes, I know, Blu-Ray won).

But, the reason nothing is changing is that we use it so much- We watch a lot of movies.
