Shiny.....

So, our TV died this morning. Like, it was working last night and this morning, it wouldn't stay on for more than 2 seconds (literally) and the screen never even came on. We tried everything - unplugging, holding buttons down...but since the thing wouldn't stay on long enough to do anything and nothing came on the screen, there was no way for us to experiment with resetting anything. NO idea - the thing died. All several hundred pounds of it (UGH). The monstrous beast is now sitting on our floor, taking up ten square feet of space and with any luck we will get someone strong to get it out of our living room - the two of us can't even lift it TOGETHER. (It's just a 32" screen but it's the old fat kind, about 4 years old.)

ANYWAY. In comes our new SHINY. After work we headed to the nearest place that Anndie found what we were looking for with the best price (as we are cheap) and lo, we have a new Visio 32" flat panel TV. Is gonna take a bit of adjusting our eyes to the new screen, but OMG it is THIN and weighs 20 pounds. SO much easier to move and it's awesome.

\o/ Now to pull out the Tin Man dvds and do the annual re-watch (as I just watched Wizard of OZ over the weekend). Whoot!
