So Kevin and I just wanted to watch a movie tonight. That's it. We went to Hastings and got
Serenity to watch and put it in the TV (it has a built-in DVD player). It got all the way through the ads to the FBI warning and then the screen went black. Tried it again and again and it happened every time. Kev ran back to Hastings to exchange the disc for a different one, brought it back, and that one did the same thing. I guess the DVD player is broken? Next we tried it on Kevin's laptop. We found out that his computer no longer recognizes its CD/DVD drive, and he doesn't have the driver software. We tried my laptop. My computer knows it has a drive, but it claims it doesn't have the software to play a DVD. We tried downloading free DVD viewing software, but two different programs wouldn't work! It always needed a "code" that you get when you buy it. We used to have an extra DVD player around, but just two weeks ago I took it home because my mom needed to use it at work.
After two hours of effort, we gave up and watched
ANTM on TV. Yes, stupid show (and Kevin wasn't particularly thrilled to watch it)... but there was nothing else on. And we got a good laugh over some ridiculous puffed sleeves on a dude.
The end.
