TV'D

Last week I was at work in the evening, one of many evenings that I’ve been at work. Having not had some time off recently, I almost fell back into some old habits. When I’m doing lots of OT, I tend buy things on a whim, usually off the Internet. Money tends to accumulate in bank accounts when you’re working lots. This behaviour started when I was a games tester. Back then, I didn’t make a lot of money, so the spree buys were limited to small things.

I make a tiny bit more money now as a software engineer, which probably explains why I was about a mouse click away from buying a 37″ Sharp Aquos LCD HDTV sight unseen. I thought that buying that TV certainly would make the evening much more enjoyable. Then reality decided to show up. Even if I did buy that TV, I wouldn’t really have time to use it. I had no idea how the display looked. I hadn’t read any reviews on this model. I didn’t even know what inputs it had.

Cooler and more budget-conscious heads prevailed, so I backed off on the purchase. Instead, my George Foreman Grill is being airmailed to me as you read this.

  1. Sharp Aquos screens are pretty nice and Sharp has been the longest in the biz making LCD tv’s. I can’t recommend checking out the differences at Future shop because the tv’s are hooked up to really crappy cables.But 37 inches, that’s *huge*. Where are you going to put it?

  2. Carly, I really had no idea where I was going to put it. That’s a big TV and I have no space. Maybe I could knock out a wall.
