How I Met Your Mother

I got the series ‘How I Met Your Mother’ for my cousin. He loves this show and can watch it all the time. He moved in with a few of his buddies and it is always a good time over there. They love watching this show and can not get enough of it. It’s season 6 of the series and I think he has all the season until now. I’ve only watched a couple episodes, but from what I’ve watched it was really funny!

His parents like to watch it too now, so when I go visit them, my uncle is watching it a lot of the time. I also got him a gift card to Best Buy, because he goes there almost every day it seems like and he is always getting something new. It’s crazy at all the gadgets he has and the technology he has at his apartment. He is a nerd but I love him any way.

Books for Dad

I got this book “Lonesome Dove” for my dad. We use to watch this movie all the time and he reads the book over and over again. His book is showing it’s age and is falling apart. So until he retires that book, I got him a new one to replace it. He loves to read and so I got him a few other books to try out too.

When I was little we use to read at night before I would go to bed and it was the best time. This is our favorite movie to watch together and I know he will love it. He loves anything he gets from us kids, but he will actually get some use out of this too. Dad’s love anything you get them. You can’t go wrong with any gift for him. Years later he will still have them, just for the memories. If you or anyone you know likes western books, I definitely recommend this one!

Home Theater Systems To The Max

I finally gave in and bought an in home theater system. After spending super bowl day at a buddies house with all the friends, it was inevitable that I need a surround sound system too. So far I am in love with it. It was also easy to set up too. I have a big screen tv and I can’t believe it took me this long to get a sound system. My son already loves it too. Now we will be fighting on who gets to watch what with it. Great father-son time I guess. We watched Mission Impossible on it this afternoon and it was amazing at the sound and how it felt just like a movie theater.

Best Buy always has great deals and I can always count on their products. It’s so easy for me to go in there and find something to buy, yet also dangerous, because between me and the kids we want everything in there.

Universal Remotes

No, not those dinky little remotes you get from Wal-Mart or something, I’m talkin about a real man’s remote, like the one pictures to the left. Universal remotes are far from the old style type in your device code, these remotes are internet connected and are able to do just about anything. This in in particular has so many features. You can hook it into your computer via the USB port and configure everything about it, right down to the icons to represent your devices. Many universal remotes aren’t just limited to controlling your TV, DVD player, etc, but they can also be set up to control compatible lighting systems, ceiling fans, and more. So if you have a certain atmosphere you like to watch movies in, you can set up the remote to turn on the tv, turn on the Blu-ray player, turn on your surround receiver, change the input to Blu-ray, dim the lights, turn down the fan, and open the Blu-ray player’s tray so all you have to do is put the disc in and go. Pretty sweet, huh? Now if only we could set it up to control the wife. That would be perfect.

Netflix

For you guys that like movies and TV out there, Netflix is an absolute must have! It’s rather inexpensive ($9 per month is their cheapest unlimited plan) and the delivery time is rather fast. If I were to return a movie in the mail on a Wednesday, most of the time I’ll have a new one on Friday. It’s that way in most of the country too from what I understand. And if you don’t get a movie in time, they have a LARGE library of titles that you can stream instantly on your computer or compatible set top device (select DVD/Blu-ray players, TVs, and all Xbox 360s, PS3s, and Wii game systems). Heck, I use the streaming service more than the actual disc one! There’s just so much on there. I also like that the streaming service has a lot of stuff I wouldn’t watch normally, so it’s exposing me to new things. So yeah, Netflix is probably the most amazing thing ever. Check it out.
