PC Scare
My PC decided to do some weirdness last night. It couldn't load up my profile presumably because my registry was corrupted.
I panicked for a while and contemplated re-installing Vista but after a while I tried System Restore and that set things straight.
According to the internets, some applications installing/un-installing can leave handles open in the registry that cause the aforementioned problems.

TV Card
I managed to get the Hauppauge TV card in my PC back in action last night.
I've left it for some time because I didn't want to have to run coax across the room but there was no choice.
It's only the cable (not digital) feed from the set top box but it's better than nothing and now we can schedule it to record shows or even entire series.

Zune
With some much appreciated assistance from lady_bloodlust, we managed to set up my Zune profile (http://social.zune.net/member/blaquewraith) and my blaquewraith@live.com email address.
Just wanted them for the future and for the sake of it.
Only thing is, I can't log into the Zune software itself to start registering music plays :(

Nightmare Before Christmas 3D
lady_bastet and I went to see Nightmare Before Christmas 3D last night and it was spooktacular.
It was like a new movie seeing it on the big screen, in high def 3D and with surround sound.
It was a little awkward wearing the 3D glasses over my ones but well worth it. The 3D allowed you to see into the sets and get a better idea of their build.
