Also, I'm contemplating about whether to get a Blu-Ray player or not. I have about 4 standard DVD players at home and one hi-def flat screen TV. Because of the many gift cards I got yesterday b/c of my birthday party (explanation coming up.) Should I get a Playstation 3 or any other kind of Blu-Ray player? I am not a gamer, myself, so I 'm leaning towards the latter. We shall see.......
Onto my birthday celebration yesterday, it was the best birthday ever since my 30th one. I had a great time eating at a salad buffet bar, Sweet Tomatoes! Many family members came, but the most important people that came to my birthday were my high school friend which I haven't seen in 13 years. This was my first high school reunion ever! I'm, glad that she came and brought her family. Also, one of my co-workers came (it was supposed to be two, but one bailed on me the last minute;); she brought her husband. Also, a friend of mine who I haven't seen since I was like 5 years old came with her roommate. I know both of them through Facebook. They update their status as much as I do. in fact, most of them are FB friends of mine; that's why Facebook is the best social networking and missed connection tool in my opinion.
Here's a list of what I got for my birthday:
- a blue Snuggie (blanket with sleeves that was advertised on TV);
- a digital camcorder (like FLIP, but a little bigger. I'm going to upload a video on YouTube and post it on FB.);
- 14 movies on 8 DVDs--the complete Blade (vampire action movie with Wesley Snipes) trilogy plus a Blade TV movie on 2 DVDs, the first four Police Academy movies on 2 DVDs (the 80s version of Keystone Cops), the whole Rush Hour trilogy plus Money Talks with Chris Tucker on 2 DVDs, the 80s Christmas classic Gremlins with Phoebe Cates and finally, (I really wanted this for so long)....Say Anything, my favorite John Cusack movie of all time;
- $20 in cash;
- $10 Borders gift card;
- $25 I-Tunes gift card;
- $25 AMC Theaters gift card;
- 2 Target gift cards (totalling $50);
- 4 boxes of candy (including some of my favorites, Swedish Fish & Reese's Pieces);
- a bottle of wi....I mean pomegranate sparking juice (might use that for New Years Eve);
- 2 Wally World gift cards (totalling $45);
- 2 Banana Republic long-sleeve shirts and finally,
- 3 Best Buy gift cards (totalling $65)
I'm fully loaded right now! I don't expect much for Christmas, then! Thanks for all those who came! I will never forget it! On that note, I will end this post. Post comments and thoughts, please!
Chris, I would say go for the blue ray player. Best Buy has a really nice one on sale for $150. It has I think Netflix capablility so you can watch the watch now movies through the blue ray and it has the capablility to listen to pandora through the player. That is my opinion. If you don't really play games I would do the blue ray player.
