Lifestream for June 9th, 2010

Out of the blue today, I added a rear surround channel to the living room sound system to bring it back up to the 6.1 I had back home :)

After testing a couple discs, it would seem the PS3 won’t pass anything higher than 5.1 over an optical cable. (???!!!!)

Soooo, that won’t affect DD-EX, I assume, but DTS-ES (and everything since?) is discreet :( Grrrrrrr. This sucks!

I don’t think I have even one DTS-ES DVD anymore. The Descent blu-ray has 6.1 PCM and the receiver shows 5.1 discreet :(

I am almost 100% positive that the PS2 via optical is all the ex and I ever used for DVDs and IT output 6.1! WTF!?

Grrrr, I was right – I have no DTS-ES DVDs – I’m pretty sure the the only one I’ve owned was Evil Dead and I’ve long parted with that one.

Ah HA!! Crash on blu-ray is DTS-ES 6.1 discrete and shows up as such on my receiver :) Now, if only all my crises were so short-lived :P

Um, I should point out that I meant Crash by Paul Haggis in 2004(?) – not, uh, the other movie by that title.

Off today, REALLY feeling nine holes in Cloudcroft in a bit. Second attempt at our first throw in almost a year! Anyone wanna come with?

@don_rivers D’OH!! Maybe come for coffee and we’ll hit you over the head with a frothing pitcher and you can say you were forced?

@don_rivers and you have a disc??

Whoa. Overnight, the mobile version of twitter.com got a make-over and it’s quite nice.

Last call for disc golf in Cloudcroft with us! (We do have extra discs.) @1prdpgn @TheLordHypno @Thorobredz :P @ whoever – leaving soon!

Chris Dunn aka @Thorobredz is my original "throw bro" – my phone even plays sound of a disc hitting the chains when I get a text from him ;)

@TheLordHypno Ack! REALLY want to go but that’s really late for us :( I’m gonna strongly consider breaking the rules. Thanks for heads up!

:( :( RT @TheLordHypno: Plateau Esspresso 8 8:30ish Sara 1.0 is leaving alamogordo this is you last chance to say good bye and hang out too

@laeryg Not the weather outside :P

@TheLordHypno Done and done. I will be there :)

Oh oh. Halfway there and Cloudcroft appears to be more clouds than croft.

CURSES!! This is twice the car has failed to get us to Cloudcroft!!! Going back home, defeated :(

@1prdpgn well, read my more recent tweets and you’ll be glad you didn’t make it :P

@1prdpgn maybe, but I strongly recommend not buying until you try out some discs and figure out your best weight class, stability, etc.

@1prdpgn and you’ll find out what those words mean and why it matters when you play a few times :P

@don_rivers it suddennly was losing power – err, the fuel kind – press gas and nothing happens, eventually sputtered out…….

@don_rivers called the auto hotline (her dad) and he theorizes various fuel issues but could just be a thermostat. Now waking the old truck.

@don_rivers no matter what’s wrong, car may well be in shop, will need truck.

Dad’s old truck lives. (I first learned to drive with this thing.) (’87(?) Chevy Silverado, single owner. People tell me it’s "cherry".)

When I argue it don’t LOOK "cherry", they say it just needs a little work and external stuff but there isn’t a dent or major issue anywhere.

The car may need shop time so, we revived the truck. Thanks to Dad Benton, Lance, and Dunn Dawg for the work done to it in the last 2 years.

If it weren’t for their help, it might not have been so easily awoken for our hour of need.

The truck stereo even has an input so Terra hooked her PSP to it and she’s all vacuuming and cleaning and singing. Making it hers :)
