our 42" golden calf

last night jason met me downtown.
"we need to go to costco."
now, i wont ever be one to question this, because i love bulk. i love all the 100 count packages of m&ms, and the concrete goodness that is their home.
but we werent going for bulk items. we didnt even get a cart (blasphemous, i know).
we were going for a tv.
our 27" flat screen did not have nearly enough pixels to see the heads being blown off our ghost recon advanced warfighter opponents- at least not clearly. nor was is big enough to completely FILL our entertainment center. we needed more.
costco was unproductive. its offerings- slim. (i shake my head in disappointment).
but we werent done.
off to the east side (for those of you that actually live here, its like venturing to hell. khaki, polo, hummer hell) to CIRCUIT CITY.

at this point im bored with this story, and the adventure iteslf, so ill speed it up.

we bought a tv.

...no....

its not just a tv.
its an experience.
a samsung 42" dlp tv to be exact. (it was on sale, and jason was buying) and a universal remote that gives us a little lip when the devices it controls dont work properly. "is the tv on NOW?" *yes* "did that fix the problem?" *yes*
and its in our house now.

...no...

our apartment.

but it is glorious. it is shiny and crisp (even with brodcast only tv). and size really does matter.
tonight i am going to make a sacrifice to it.
