I've been thinking about what I want to write about the year that just ended and my hopes for the year that just started, but in the meantime, I absolutely must tell you:
I bought a new t.v.!!!!!
You may recall that my current television started to crap out in the fall. The sound worked fine, but the picture would sometimes not appear. A slap on the top of the box would usually fix it. However, for the last couple of months not even a serious pounding would summon the picture. In an attempt at non-consumerism, I might have tried to get it fixed but I knew that the digital revolution was coming (yes, I know I could have gotten a new tuner. but that combined with the fact that the repair probably would have been very expensive made me decide to scrap the 2002 analog model). Anyway, I bought a 32-inch Samsung LCD and I love it. The digital signal is amazing. The picture is not at all fuzzy, wavy, or shadowy and there are some extra channels. Awesome.
Now I can reconnect with my Netflix account. And much more importantly, I got the new tube in time for the next season of Lost!

You've just made Dr. Man very jealous. He keeps bugging me to get a new LCD TV. Even though ours is perfectly fine (and HD)!
I must be lucky that my TV has worked fine for the past nine years. I've heard of many TVs not lasting that long.
Don't tell my husband! We have agreed not to get a new TV until we both have real jobs. Although it would sure be funny to watch Netflix on our laptops, so I really hope the old TV lives on!
Glad you will get to enjoy Lost :)
My husband almost bought a new flat screen TV, stereo, and lap top at the weekend. He called me from the store to inform me of this imminent purchase, and I asked him to consider what we actually NEED, given that the TV is only about 4 years old and works perfectly fine. And that getting a bigger TV would necessitate buying a new stand and some kind of CD storage system.
He came home with an iPod docking station to plug into the existing 22-year old stereo. But he is still craving the big TV.
