New Year's Eve

I'm hanging in here today.

Symptoms: headache, joint pain, muscle pain, brain fog. Took pain pill.

I am working on MP-related stuff today, lots of reading. Also measuring for curtains, trying to brainstorm about possible lighting solutions for the kitchen, dining, and living rooms.

Yesterday I brought home and installed a new plasma HDTV. Our old TV had a label on the back that read: "Manufactured in March 1985." It involved some furniture moving, some of which isn't really done yet. I turned it on and ran the intial programming setup and it found some HDTV channels that I didn't even know we had-- I think it's just the broadcast network HD version and a couple of other channels like TNT and ESPN, but there are one or two that don't seem to correlate to anything else, and one of them, called "HD Theater" was absolutely astonishing to watch. I think it will be a while before the "new toy"ness wears off of the new TV.
