I'm waiting for the HR HDTV version of Lost, with AC3 sound. Then I'll have to convert it to DVD. Sure it is a lot of work, but worth it in the end, when I can watch it on my big TV with surround sound.

Sort of looking forward to Narnia. I loved the books as a kid (never did, and still don't like LotR :p...). King Kong I avoided in theaters because I've been having back trouble, and knew 3 hours in a theater chair would paralyze me (or at least make me wish I was numb from the neck down).

I sent photos to Romania (not to you, sorry :( ) at the beginning of December and they have not arrived. :,(

That is about the size of all the other shows I get. I do find the quality to be very good. But you know Lost is something special. :) So I like a real treat with it. My computer can trans-code to MPEG2 at about 0.5x. So a 45 minute show takes 1.5 hours to render. Then only minutes to make it into a DVD. There is a difference between watching the show on a 19 inch monitor vs. a 36 inch TV.

The thing is, I've been getting everything by UPS for years now. This is the first trouble I've every had. I hope it isn't a sign of things to come.

I'll be making another trip to Romania around April. I know I'm already hand-delivering some items. If there is anything you'd like you should let me know before then, and I'll see if I can squeeze it into my bag. :)

It sure is! Although I see them on an only 28 inch TV, I can still appreciate the difference! :)

It's super sweet of you to offer, thanks! :) Seeing that the second book STILL didn't get here, if I don't find a way to get it by April, I will probably ask you for this one huge favour... :)

Oh, are you ready for this?! :p

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR injector, HAAAAAAAAPY BIRTHDAAAAAAAAY TO YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!! :))) Hope you have a great one! :)

The surround sound is nice too. For instance in this past episode when the camera when through the "smoke" all the odd metallic sounds it makes started coming from behind me too, just like I was inside it.

Awwww, that was sweet of you to remember. :) Thanks.
