{July 26, 2008}   My New TV

So, for those of you who know me, you will know my age – 42 – and you will also know that I grew up rurally. If you are my age you know that when we grew up you simply plugged in the TV and it got some stations.  Yesterday, I bought a new flat TV which is about the size of my iMac and much lighter!  I got this for my bedroom.  I know, what you are thinking.  There is no sex in a bedroom when it has a TV, but really I just wanted it for those days when you are sick, or just pooped, or if it is a very cold winter night and you want to tuck in early.  Honestly!

The thing about this TV is that it is one of those new ones which is not really a square but quite a long rectangle.  The interesting thing is that the square picture is stretched to fit in it, so everyone on TV looks quite pleasingly plump.  I have decided that I am not going to fix it.  I am just going to let all those TV people look like regular sized people on the street.  Yes, in fact, I think I might just buy a few more of these TV’s so that everything I watch is skewed by width.
