Fading Spaces

As I talked about in this post, I recently replaced my older Denon receiver with a new Onkyo TX-SR605 one in my home theater. I also finally moved the A/V components to the stand underneath the television set. No more Tower O’ Components next to the television, which frees up even more space in the living room. So here’s a pic of the new setup:
(Compare it to the picture in this entry, and also here.) I think it’s going to work out pretty well. The components fit nicely in the space under the television. However, I didn’t really have room for the Xbox, so it’s sitting on the floor off to the right side where you can’t see it real well in this picture. But it was sitting on the floor, under the tower, in the old setup as well. I also need to do something about the rat’s nest of visible cables, but that’s a project for another day.
I’m still really liking the Onkyo receiver. It sounds good and the automated speaker calibration (using Audyssey) really makes the initial setup easy. And I like how the volume goes from 0 to 99 (or whatever) instead of -50 to 50 (or whatever) like the Denon did. Using negative numbers for volume gets confusing.
Jogged Today: Still haven’t started running again. The streets and sidewalks are still icy in spots. Hopefully soon, since we’re actually getting some higher temps and melting lately.
Today’s Weight: 164 lbs
Lunch Yesterday: None.
Pet Peeve of the Day: My own internal overreaction/panic, thinking that my refrigerator had stopped working. Thankfully it was okay, but I sure got all nerved up. That’s all I need right now is for something else to break.
Sorry, that’s all I’ve got for today. It’s late and I’m tired.
Latre.
