Nothing beats going down to OCNJ for two weeks on vacation. Soaking up the sun, listening to the waves, reading several books. Perfection. Well, on a rather warm evening, we decided to remain indoors and watch a movie instead of battling the crowds on the boardwalk or at the ice cream shops. Typically, watching a movie involves turning on a premium movie channel or sliding in a dvd. Well, that is just too run-of-the-mill for us. We watched a brand-new, downloaded movie using someone else's wireless Internet signal, played it using the "enhanced" XBox, and had the sound come out of the Party Cooler. What is a Party Cooler you ask? Oh, it is the cooler that is the "life of the party," and it proved to be just that. Basically, a Party Cooler is a blue and black cube-shaped, vinyl cooler with handles and a radio in front. You can hook up an MP3 player to listen to your favorite tunes on the beach, or in this case, hook up your laptop and play a movie that's still playing in theaters. This Frankenstein-esqe set-up, complete with multi-colored wires, rusty antennae, and remnants of fine, beach sand, worked perfectly, that is, until the 9 volt batteries inside the cooler started to slowly die out. Pretty soon, we realized we might have to resort to using a potato. Now that would be totally ridiculous.
