The Weekend

The weekend is here, and not much to do.   Hold on..  I have tons to do this weekend really.  It all started last night by doing nothing after dinner but watching some TV, and then staying up really late playing our new Wii.

Now after this I suppose I will get up and start cleaning the house.  It really needs it.  I think the rest of the weekend I will clean, play the Wii, watch the BIG12 Championship (Go Sooners) then Church in the morning and then I’m going to spend some time with my Little Brother (I’m a Big Brother) and then do some work from home and that will pretty my conclude the weekend..

Who has some plans for the weekend?  Anything special?

TV – How do you hang?

Last week some time I was talking about home theaters and the like. But I forgot one part of the package. How is your TV installed? Some people like to have them on a stand or entertainment center but others prefer a tv wall mount. Now since I don’t have a flat panel or anything close to that so I wouldn’t know what option would be better.

Now I have envisioned mounting one above the fireplace, nice and centered on the wall. But the drawback to that is the family room furniture layout. Nothing will really work so that everyone has an awesome non neck crinkling view of the TV. But if I had that dedicated home theater room, then I would be all set with perfect viewing for all.

How do you hang?

Movie Time..

For a long time now, probably years, I have always wanted my very own home theater. So when it became something to have in the home, I started out with some basics, a decent surround sound system, and a 32 inch tv. It was just me so why not, lol. (Like I said years ago)

Anyways I never had a dedicated room just for this purpose. I have always wanted, and I still have plans or maybe I should say a dreams that one day I will have a dedicated room set up for “Movie Time.” You know with some awesome recliner movie seats, a nice and huge hdtv flat screen or plasma tv, and killer surround sound system that will blow your socks off and to top it off, some elegant home theater lighting to make it look authentic.

One day that is my dream, and some day I hope it comes true.
