Television

I arrived in Toronto a few minutes ago for a weekend of shopping, visiting friends and catching up with Danny before the holiday strikes. I’m in a strange, scattered state of mind: so many things to do, and some getting swept under the carpet of my own forgetfulness.

Last night Mom told me to stop at the Sears office today to pick up a gift that would arrive for me there today. So I headed to Stone Road Mall and came home with a new 20-inch Toshiba television. I’m grateful but also a little flabbergasted. Haven’t I told my parents I dislike watching TV, that I only get one fuzzy channel and will never get cable? The old, tiny one sufficed for watching occasional movies, which I do enjoy. Now a DVD player would turn this into a nice entertainment centre. But I probably shouldn’t tell them the first thing I did after hooking it up was watch a bit of porn on that nice screen. Okay, I admit, I’ll also get a kick out of watching some favourites like Pulp Fiction so I can actually see Bruce Willis’ face.

Okay, I’m heading down to the ghetto for the evening.

Hmmm... you could exchange the TV for a DVD player. Or would the 'rents be too upset about that?

One of the nice things about having a bigger TV is that I'll be able to consider looking for a cheap DVD player. There was no point in getting one with the tiny set I had. It just struck me as an odd gift, considering there is other electronics equipment I want badly. But I will keep the TV.

DVD players seem very inexpensive these days.

Yes, and unfortunately becoming obsolete. I'm always behind on these things.

Well, I suppose DVR is the way to go, but there are oodles and oodles of movie, music and television DVDs out there. Most of them are in my house, in fact.

The car spent the night in the ghetto. I'm sure it had fun.

Yes, one of my guilty pleasures.
