I just bought myself a Sanyo PLV-Z5 projector. I had to rearrange my living room a bit so that I could use one wall as a screen. Here’s how it looks:

So far I’ve been very pleased with this projector - I’ve watched a few films (Triple X, The Contractor, Brave Heart) and have also spent some time gaming (NFS MW, SS2, Hellgate London) - everything looks great. Unfortunately my PC is a bit older and since the motherboard doesn’t have PCI Express, I only have a GeForce FX-5200, which means Hellgate doesn’t run smoothly with a 1024 x 768 screen resolution and HD films also don’t really run smoothly. But it still rocks to have a 2.5 meter image !!!

Just finished watching The Weather Man (2005) with Nicolas Cage.

Really liked this quote. Not quite sure why…. But, enjoy:

I remember once…
…imagining what my life would be like, what I’d be like.
I pictured having all these qualities.
Strong, positive qualities…
…that people could pick up on from across a room.
But as time passed…
…few ever became any qualities I actually had.
And all the possibilities I faced, and the sorts of people I could be…
…all of them got reduced every year to fewer and fewer…
…until finally they got reduced to one…
…to who I am.
And that’s who I am…
