Huh. I would so never think to do that. Some combination of laziness, and always on the lookout for a good excuse for a new toy. It dies, it's kicked to the curb.
It's still working 6-ish years later. At the time my options were to look into repair or have no TV. Moving expenses had eaten up my bank account.

Thanks, everyone for the well wishes. The new baby girl is so cool. She looks like her brother (and I will have photographic evidence up as soon as the camera recharges and I can upload).
For now, we're all trying to get some rest in the chaos. It's a good chaos, but it's chaos. We're healthy and the delivery was not that bad--definitely shorter than Owen's.
Yay Cashmere - congratulations and much fun and happiness with your sweet baby girl!

Injustice.
I'm really enjoying that show. I love how they begin with, "
This is what the jury thinks happened,
" and then go on from there. Plus -- Jason O'Mara is pretty and Kyle MacLachlan amuses me.
I've not done much for today, aside from getting dressed and eating a bagel. I guess that's a triumph of its kind....
Sumi, I love how
Kyle McLaughlin's character is sorta a prick. Keeps the sappy at bay.
Oh yeah, and updating my iPod with some new music, and also thanks to Jessica's advice, fixing it so that it's not accumulating podcasts any more. That counts as progress, yes?
