I watched a bunch of SeaQuest today and learned two things. The first, is that I still like the show and I think it holds up after all these years. The second, is that the actor who plays Carlton Lassiter on Psych was in at least a couple episodes of SeaQuest, looking a bit like Jesus, with long hair and facial fair. It was strange.

I packed up my Nexus 7 today and mailed that back, and also order a new one, plus a keyboard and a case. I kept the case/keyboard just in case I don't like the new keyboard. I have until the end of June to return the case/keyboard and I am getting a little better at typing on it so it wouldn't hurt to have around because I do really like it as a simple case. All the new stuff should be here on Thursday and my fingers are crossed that the new tablet doesn't have the same creaky screen issue.

For awhile now I have wanted to set my printer up to print wirelessly and today I finally did that. It took forever. I couldn't find the physical install disc and everything I saw online about setting up wireless printing referenced the install disc. I downloaded a few things from the Canon website but didn't think to download the driver until much later. And that ended up being the thing I needed. I also think I may have just been able to do it on the printer itself but the tiny screen and buttons are confusing. In the end, however, I somehow got it to work, so I don't have to worry about moving my printer closer to my computer every time I want to print. Which is at least once every few months.

I decided on what TV I want to get when I get around to getting one and I wanted to see it in person. I checked at Best Buy and Target today but neither place has one on display. It was confusing with Best Buy because on the website you can order it and immediately pick it up at the store, but in-store they only have the old model on the shelf. That didn't make sense to me. And at Target, you can apparently only order it online. So I didn't get to see the TV but I feel fairly confident that it is the one I want. Until I think myself out of it. I also looked into my buying options and I kind of want to go with Target because I have two gift cards there. Those will cancel out shipping and tax so I would end up paying about two dollars less than the sale price. With Amazon, and maybe Best Buy, I would have free shipping but still have tax so it would be cheaper to go with Target. But I would get it faster with Best Buy because I could go pick it up as soon as I ordered it. Or wait two days instead of a week if I go with Amazon. And I am more familiar with returning stuff to Amazon so that would be convenient if I didn't like the TV or it arrived broken. So I don't really know. I've gotten this far with a TV before and never got around to buying it so maybe I can do the same this time around.

My new green hoodie arrived today. It fits much better than my first attempt and I still like the color. I am wearing it right now, in fact. I'm glad I won't have to return it because it feels like I have been doing a lot of that recently.

Tonight I watched the first episode of Lexx, a cheesy sci-fi show from the late '90s to early '00s. It really wasn't that good but I ended up watching the entire hour and a half episode. For some reason I think each episode in that first season is an hour and a half but I don't think I will be watching any more of it. I found it to be a tad confusing and a music was annoying. I couldn't get into it and I am tempted to watch something else to cleanse my palate but I have a headache, probably from trying to figure out why I was watching Lexx, so I am going to go to bed instead. Sleep sounds really good right now.
