Foulard's Profile

I see three incorrect aspect ratios! But I guess they're just Photoshopped in.
I didn't see Rainn Wilson as an above-the-fireplace screen placement guy, and Ann Hathaway must never want to watch a movie until sundown..

My shower times me out by running out of hot water, so I don't need any fancy devices!

But today's post says the opposite. Which is it?

Don't people differentiate between private email and work email? I check my personal email account at home when I wake up, then I go to work and check my work email.

Now how do I get my cat to stop "helping" me wire my home theater?

820 movies really isn't THAT many, if you're a cinephile. Even if you start from the beginning of sound movies, you'd just have about 10 movies per year up to the present...

"As painful as it is, it's convenient to burn media, like movies and TV shows, onto DVDs to archive them. It's annoying, but it does get the job done."

Isn't this advice contrary to all the other posts on unplgged telling me that my physical media collection is passé?

The Kitchenaid mixer is *really* a must-have if either spouse is a baker--my wife has used hers constantly for the 6 years she's owned it. It also looks classic and solid on the counter when in repose.

Where does this figure come from? Is that a typo? I haven't noticed my DVD player, TV, and computer costing me "upwards of" $183 a month...

My wife and I still have one, and we use it (though rarely) more than we use our cell phones. Since we moved, we get it in a cheap bundle with cable and internet, so there's no reason to drop it. Also, the signal always sounds clearer to me--which is nice when you're talking to older parents.

However, I wish cell phones had been commonplace 15-20 years ago when my friends and I all lived with roommates!

I divided our want list into must-haves, would-likes, and would-be-nices. As long as we could check off all the must-haves, then it was a place to seriously consider.

It's also a good idea to bring a checkbook, in case you want to put a hold deposit down. There may be other people looking at the place (as it was for our new place), so if you know you want it, it's good to strike while the iron is hot.
