It was a nice relaxing weekend, especially Saturday, which was nice as we both had the week from hell at our respective jobs. Robyn was supposed to do some work over the weekend but it didn’t really work out like that as she slept in on Saturday, we then watched the Georgia vs. Florida “Cocktail Party” game which was pretty entertaining, especially when Georgia scored first and then laid a beat down on Tim Tebow for the rest of the game.
That evening we watched Transformers and Ratatouille on our TiVo… This will probably get me hounded out of the TiVo Community board, but the TiVo Desktop app works pretty well at converting movies for TiVo consumption, it also means our dream of on-demand movies is a reality at much smaller file sizes than the old rip DVD/rename .VOB to .MPG method we used before… The picture quality was excellent, I didn’t notice any issues even during the fast cuts on Transformers. Anyways, both get two thumbs up from me, Ratatouille especially. I’m a sucker for Pixar movies.
Sunday was a day of rock, as shown before, I went and got Guitar Hero III for the Wii, and talk about fun, fun, FUN! I’ve never played it before, except maybe a few shocking seconds in Best Buy with a right handed guitar on a song I didn’t know, but sitting at home with my little white Gibson Les Paul controller, I felt awesome before even pushing a button.
But you can’t play it, you’re left handed
That was the cry from Robyn as I set everything up… No matter, I had read the instructions and gave myself the lefty switch. So after sitting through the tutorial I proceeded to play Cream’s “Sunshine Of Your Love” and, well, let’s just say if Clapton was dead, he’d be rolling in his grave… No matter, I was enjoying myself immensely. I’ll be honest and say I flat out suck, but I’ve only played it for a few hours thus far.
Robyn was also ridiculing the way I looked, playing this little guitar, saying the usual stuff like”
Why not just play a *real* guitar?
The cry of Guitar Hero widows everywhere? So I gave it to her to play, and before long she was nailing the first gig in the career level, even getting the encore of Kiss’ “Rock and Roll All Nite” at a nice 91%. Before long she was pulling guitar faces, rocking the whammy bar for extra points and all that jazz. It’s safe to say we both like this game, but we’ve got a long way to go…
And last night we went to see They Might Be Giants at the Neighborhood Theater in NoDa, but I’ll get back to that later once pictures are uploaded to Flickr.

And the Miller – Smith’s became – WILD STALLIONS!!!
Have a most excellent time Bill and Ted!
The way you were playing, you prolly put Clapton in an early grave. Just face it, m’dear… the only rockin’ you’re good at is on the front stoop of a Cracker Barrel.
