I am Woman, Hear Me Geek

I made the DVD player work! Go, me!

Well, with one screw-up. I got a SCART to SCART connector cable by accident and while my TV has a SCART socket, my DVD player does not. I did not need new cable; I needed an adaptor. Which I got at my local Sainsbury's Savacentre for seven quid. Picked up a copy of The Faculty for eight. I am a happy girl. Though I do not have happy neighbours, not with a hefty helping of subwoofery goodness. The "Class of 1999" version of "Another Brick In The Wall Part 2" is great, particularly when interspersed with fireworks and hefty American football tackles, but I'm sure the neighbours downstairs didn't appreciate feeling it through the walls and ceiling at eleven-thirty last night.

This weekend's mission is to join Blockbuster or somewhere and start renting things. Nifty with the niftyness! No longer am I at the mercy of British terrestrial television! Wa-ha!

*poingpoingpoingpoingpoing*

Now all I need to do is set me up an Amazon.co.uk wishlist for DVDs within my region and I'm go!

For about £65, you can a very good on the market 5.1 surrond sound system. DvD'S give sound on 6 channels (2 back, 2 front, 1 voice, 1 bass) and buying a 5.1 speaker system really really liven's up moves like the cinema. Actually i sold my Hi Fi and use my DvD player to play my music CD's on now :)

No use to you probably, but if it is lemme know and I will point you in the right direction where to get a good one.

Good luck in the land of terrestial escapism!

I have the 5.1 already. Hence my talking about how the neighbours must hate me. They'll hate me more tonight when I watch "Minority Report". CRANK THE BASS! SUBWOOFER IS GOD!
