I had asked the Beast for a new TV a while back but my wants usually just go the way of the wind with him. I will admit that I mentioned (a time or two) that a new TV might just make up for all those anniversaries that I didn't get anything...not even flowers. AND...I happened to mention that Walmart was having a nice sale on TV's the other day. However, that seemed to fall on deaf ears.
But tonight, surprise! Surprise! The Beast walked in with a brand new, 1080psi, Vizio HD TV! For me! I was stunned. It is a 37 inch flat screen and I am still dumbfounded over how amazing the picture looks. For the first couple hours after we got it set up and the DVD player attached, I couldn't take my eyes off it. I was playing Avatar on the DVD player and it was just amazing. You feel like you are right there. It's almost like having a 3D TV.
Bratfink said to me that it was obvious I hadn't done a lot of watching the TV in the living room with the Beast because that TV is HD (also a 1080). I laughed and said he was always watching football, basketball or one of his news/talk shows that I hate so why would I? Not that I hate football. I just don't like what's happened to many of the teams the past couple years.
I ended up with the Beast's blu-ray DVD player because the TV wouldn't even recognize that my old (new) DVD player was there. If you read that blog, I replaced my old one when it died on me with a very inexpensive (okay, cheap) one from Amazon a couple months ago. It worked fine on my old 27 inch TV. There's nothing wrong with it except it's not HD. It probably isn't a 1080 psi either but I really didn't care. It worked and that was fine with me.
But now? I will NEVER go back to a non-HD TV. It's THAT addicting once you sit and watch it.
I even turned on the ending of the movie Avatar on FX that Bratfink is watching. I love that movie and I love it even more now that I am seeing some of the amazing scenes in the movie. I feel like I never saw it before. Not like this. Am I starting to sound a little nutty? Sorry about that but I don't remember it looking this good in the theater where I first saw it. Okay, enough about that.
Since I now have the Beast's Blu-ray DVD player on MY TV, he's going to get another one for the TV in the living room. I own probably 150 DVD's and not one is Blu-ray. The Beast told me that I am to buy/order ONLY Blu-ray's from now on. I understand they are even more amazing on an HD TV. I can't even imagine that. Oh well!
I can't wait to see Chewlee's face when she sees this TV in here. I called Tara and asked her if she would like the TV and DVD player (they are both still good) for one of the boys and she said yes. But I think she has putting it in her bedroom in mind. I don't know why. It was something she said, I think but I didn't care as long as it wasn't going to just be thrown out (that's what the Beast had planned). I just can't waste something like that when there's nothing wrong with it. It's the Polack in me I guess.
How is your weather? We're having such wonderful sleeping weather. It makes me tired just having the temperature drop down into the low 50's. I know several states are loaded with snow and all I can say is that I hope nothing serious happened to anyone or caused a real hardship. At least the states are one's that normally get a lot of snow. Just not this early.
It only got up to around 75 but that's good weather so I am not complaining. I was a slug today and didn't bother getting dressed. I had no plans to go out so I kept on my pj's and just folded some clothes and hung up others. I know there's some more clothes that could be folded in the dryer but I said the hell with it once I got this TV. **Laughing** I'll take care of it tomorrow. It's just the Beast's underwear.
I need to jump in the shower and get my hair washed. Oh, I'll wash the rest of me, too, don't worry. But I also need to get this posted. Love you all and I wish you a wonderful week. **Wink**
