added apartment pics

I’ve added more pics to the apartment photos area. Check ‘em out. Particularly fun is the projector I’ve added. Notice the strange location for it? The whole rack fits nicely on top of the mantel!

Haha! For those wondering, I left a comment on Ciera’s post which had (I thought) a poetic line…

Curtains, schm-urtains… I want details on that projector! 
Screen or wall? How large is the image? And 5, 6, or 7.1 surround?

Your screen for your movies is super. Where did you find fabric that was wide enough. Do you serve popcorn??

Ahh but, Nate, the curtains are a vital piece of the overall theater room experience. Alas, the outside light must be well blocked for maximum viewing pleasure.
Ok, onto details:
It’s a Dell 1100MP, 4:3, 1400 lumens projector
Right now, I’m using just the wall — which looks amazingly well, I might add. I’ve got material to build a screen soon (black-out drape lining and 1×2 wooden frame)
Zoomed all the way out, with an 11ft throw distance, the image is about 6.5ft x 4.5ft.
I went cheap on the sound with a mid-line Cambridge Soundworks system for a few reasons:
1) I’m in a small apartment
2) My old Sony amplifier only has 5.1 decode
3) As Neil can attest, I’m no great discriminator of high fidelity, i.e., good enough is good enough for me.

All of the geek stuff is great. I still want to know about the popcorn. Let’s get to the REALLY important stuff!

OK, as long as there is a manly reason to have curtains… Cambridge’s stuff is pretty good stuff too.
Yes, on to popcorn… microwave or an actual kettle popper?
And for the benefit of your other regular posters, I went to the same college as Rob, so I’m not some stranger that just started posting here. Didn’t want to weird anyone out.
I mean hey - I’ve got some strange commentors on my blog………..lol!……..and I’m not just talking about the ones from Michele’s!!!!

Hi Nate! Kettle popper sounds good to me. And I agree about the road trip. Bet it seems funny not having Rob and Ebb around, doesn’t it?
I understand that the projector screen construction is under way. WhooHoo!
