Delicious

I roasted a turkey today. I got a 14 pound turkey from work just before Christmas. I had it thawing the fridge for a few days and got it ready to roast last night. Woke up early this morning and popped it in the oven. By the time I was done sleeping, shaving, and showering, the Turkey was ready for breakfast! I know, strange. While it was cooling, I even made gravy - that's a first time for me.

This afternoon I boiled some red potatoes (unskinned, of course) and mashed them. What a feast! Of course, Teo wanted me to give him some of the turkey. I've now got 3/4 of the meat frozen, as well as half the gravy. I'll be eating this turkey for weeks.

Re-starting

Okay, I haven't posted crap in ages, almost a year. My plan is to get restarted and continue.

Today is a really cool day. First, just before Christmas I bought a 37" Visio HDTV. I got it from Target as part of their pre-Black Friday sale, and saved over 25%. Then I bought a low-end home theater system with up-converting DVD player. OMG. I'm watching the first Star Wars movie and it's totally immersing. Super sharp (that's the upconverting thing) and totally rocked by the sound (that's the home theater thing). The sound is like being in the theater, with the sound all around you. Totally cool.

Enough for tonight.
