We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Hmmm, I can only recall buying two TVs, the last but one is still upstairs, mostly unused in my study. There was a B&W one that I had in college -- I wonder if I bought it in high school or not, when I got my first stereo, or a parental present? (I'm only on my second stereo system....)

Anyway, Jesse, you have my full permission to qualify for buying a (new) TV at this point. It's not, you know, ostentatious.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jesse, I still have my old 27" TV to get rid of.

Yeah, I think the maneuvering is too much, sadly. The PCRichards four blocks away from my house will apparently deliver for free.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I hope you have a better experience with PC Richard than Jessica had.

ION, I am driving myself insane trying to straighten up the mess of wires behind my TV and computer.

Bad service? I figure the workers will be shady, which I can deal with, and I think I might buy a little rolly thing to walk it home (I'm assuming I'll be able to carry it upstairs alone?), so I don't have to deal with delivery.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Since a TV doesn't require any "installation," (and there's no old TV to haul away) I think you'll be fine.

OK, as soon as I finish watching the Bret Michaels dating show, I'm buying a TV!!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Have fun, Jesse!

So far this morning, I have set up the coffee maker and walked away, then discovered 15 minutes later I forgot to hit the button, so there was no coffee.

I fixed that problem, but I suspect it's going to be that kind of day.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

That's on my agenda today, too. I had to move my command central, as I call it, to another outlet. (It was on the same circuit as my new air conditioner and the circuit was not happy about it.) It's like a rat's nest back there.
