Home cinema... at home!

Last Friday, my roommate bought an awesome 47'' LCD HD TV. It replaces the old TV (which, I found, already had a decent size) in the living room. He also installed a home cinema sound system, which makes it insane to watch a movie at home!

Get ready to rumble!

The National Air and Space Museum

Joe, one of his roommates and I visited the National Air and Space Museum yesterday. The museum is actually split into two facilities: one downtown (on the National Mall, in DC) and a bigger one in Chantilly, close to Dulles International Airport. We went to the second one.

The museum essentially exposes WWI and WWII planes, civil aircrafts as well as some space ships and items.
