Adventures in teevee land

Wow, it doesn’t take long to start talking and acting like an electronics nerd.

Mr. Anonymous graciously led me around Futureshop at lunch-time and I saw a lot of teevees. A lot of nice teevees.

But then…

We fell upon a Sony Bravia 40 inch (I think) that was showing Casino Royale, and we were both smitten. It was love at first sight. We ooohed, we aahhed. We could barely tear ourselves away. We were ready to buy popcorn and spend the afternoon. Man, what a beautiful picture.

40 is too big, but a 26 might be just right.

Well I had to go look at one on the website because I'm hopeless when it comes to electronics.

Boy that is a fancy-schmancy teevee.

But the price? Even if I had the money around, I could never convince my head to spend that kind of money on a TV. That's what men are for...they want to spend the moon, I want to spend nothing, we compromise in the middle.

It's not that I don't think it's worth it or anything, but I can hear my father in my head when I look at prices these days. Next thing you know I'll be chasing kids off of my lawn.

There's was an $8,000 t.v. right near the glorious Sony, and there were 5 or 6 men just staring at it. No woman would stare at an $8,000 t.v. the way those guys did. We just don't have it in us.
