A Saturday Without Television
Ok, so we did have two fully functional TVs with cable still in our house, but not having the HDTV working upstairs cut my TV watching time down to about 30 minutes today (basically, while I was eating lunch and then a tiny bit of the Mavs game). Oh yeah, I didn’t tell that story yet. Thursday when I got home, I went upstairs to turn the TV on. Expecting nothing out of the ordinary, I walked back downstairs for a minute or two and then came back up. The TV was off, so I just assumed that the remote had missed the sensor. Well, when I looked closer, there was a red light flashing on the TV that I had never seen before. Aware that this was probably not a good sign, I looked closer and saw that it was the Lamp LED that was illuminating which meant that we had to order a $200 lamp for the TV to make it display pretty pictures once again. Since no actual stores carried them in stock, we had to order it directly from Sony, and as a result it won’t be here until Tuesday. Yesterday I virtually wasn’t home at all so the no TV was fine, but today, tomorrow, and Monday afternoon all are making me find alternative methods of entertainment.
Speaking of, I went on another cleaning spree today, although this time my focus was the desk in my room. Fully aware that there was quite a bit of stuff that could be relocated, I went about moving some stuff around (and occasionally even throwing something away). Right now it is still a WIP, and anyone who knows my cleaning style is aware that this means my room currently looks like it was attacked by a tornado. Oh well, just one more thing to do this weekend, right?
