Laptop Desk Arrives...?

FedEx man came by today.
It wasn't Sat's package, but mine!

I ordered a laptop desk from an Amazon merchant, so I can sit back on the chaise and watch TV while I browse the web. I can watch TV right now, but there's no back support...

Anyway, I started to assemble the desk... but one of the bolts is too loose on the screw. I looked at the bolt... and it was threaded badly. Well, punched(?) badly... cuz it's a bit off-center.

I'm hoping that they'll send me a new bolt... but it's more likely that I have to send the entire thing back & get a new one. Boo! Well, we'll see what they say.

I have a half-built laptop desk all over the floor.
And we finally cleared out the living room too.

Sat Birthday Dim Sum, Karaoke & Game Party

We went to dim sum for Sat's b-day.
The other twin Chris was missing (had something to do?) and nearby b-day boy Bung was away on some beemer fair. Plus a few missing souls, like Ards (errands), Panda (deadline), Wuken & Dennis (classes).

I didn't take photos during lunch, but I believe Allen did.
I don't know where he posts photos, though.

じゅるる, Steph & Vu left at this point & we headed off to karaoke.
But other twin Chris showed up, so the group grew to 10.

Then over to our place for some game playing.
Dave left at this point, but Wuken showed up. Dennis came a lot later.

We made takoyaki as snacks... but we didn't order dinner, so everyone must have been hungry. Bad host!

Trying to Set up Tivo

I haven't used my Tivo at home in over 2 years, so I brought it over to じゅるる's.

Well, I missed Pitchmen two weeks in a row & thought Tivo would be a good solution. This week was the shark repellent week... I wanted to see the loud man get eaten by sharks.

I tried connecting the Tivo machine.
Cable box --> Tivo --> TV
Right?

But I get a snowy screen.
Plus I realized I didn't bring the Tivo remote.

So I unplugged the Tivo for now.
I'll try again next week!
