And we've got two more! By

If you'll notice, I'm doing most of the news-writing lately. Reason for that is Isabel is very hard at work on a variety of other projects. And since I took the last few weeks off, now it's her turn.
And Valentine's Day. This is our last weekend in Florida, so we spent the day with my family. Our real Valentine's Day things were yesterday. We got family pictures taken; hopefully they'll come out well. Isabel and I were apprehensive, but things went nicely.
My main plan for the day, being as this was the last day I'd have to hang out with my father and brother, was to sit around and watch Mystery Science Theatre 3000. I spent a few weeks letting my spare computer suck up all our bandwidth while downloading episodes. I tried to burn them to VCDs - so I could play them on a TV instead of having everybody watch them in my room on my computer - and discovered that the average CD had enough space to hold 90% of an episode. Fortunately, one of my co-workers had a DVD burner. So I picked five episodes (Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, The Day The Earth Froze, The Crawling Eye, Gamera vs Baguron, and Robot Holocaust) and had them converted. He gave the DVDs to me in a nice 5-CD holder. So I burned him 10 more discs of MST3k and returned the holder to him - may as well share the entertainment. Anyhow, I put the DVDs in one of my many CD cases. Which all got packed and shipped to California five days ago.
So none of the local rental chains have MST3k on DVD - they've got it on videotape, but that'd be more useful if we had a working VCR.
We went out to Royal India with my extended family and had a very nice dinner.
And after the dinner, within minutes of us coming home, my dad went to sleep. My brother left to go hang out with friends. So it all worked out in the end, kind-of.
