Movie and Zoo Fun-Time
Last night I went over to Billy’s and watched “The Two Towers” on his projector, which was quite nice. We wrestled with his home theater PC for a while, but eventually we traced the problem to driver issues. A quick update from the internet, and we were in business. The movie, being quite long, put Billy to sleep. Don’t blame the movie though. Billy’s usual bedtime is around 9pm, and our after midnight movie watching was quite a stretch for his usual schedule.
I fell asleep on his couch, woke up the next day, and ate pancakes that Karen made. We fiddled with some DVD authoring problems, and then decided to go to the zoo. It was cold and snowy, but that meant we had the zoo almost all to ourselves, which was nice. The monkeys were very active, since they had just been fed, and it was exciting to see them running around and eating. The birds too had been recently fed, meaning there was lots of activity. Billy learned to mimic the gentle whistling call of one of the birds, after which it would follow him back and forth in front of the cage whistling back. It was very neat.
