So the wife and I got a decent tax return this year.  And yes, I realize that it’s money that the government took too much of in the first place and so it’s not actually found money, but what ever, okay?  Get off my cloud.

We decided we’d actually get some stuff with it.  She got a laptop (her computer operated like shit anyway), and I got an HDTV.  And yes, I also realize that it seems *my* gift is really *our* gift, but again, leave me alone.

It’s an LG 32” LCD, 720p (1080p isn’t needed unless you’re in the 40+” range).  It’s the perfect size, and we got it at a clearance sale, so it was quite discounted from the MSRP.

And you know what?  TV and movies really are a lot more awesome in HD.

Once you have HD, there is no going back.  I am so happy to have mine for baseball season - I can’t even tell you.

Yeah, no kidding.  Even std def shows look better on it.

W00t! HDTV is da bomb. Now you need a PS3 ... you know, for the Blu-ray player.

Yeah, I was inquiring how much the Blu-Ray players were.  They were charging more than what I could get a PS/3 for!!  That’s a lot of fucking cheek, right there.
