Good, Better, Best

Twice a day, on average, for the past 725.4 days, Brandon has asked me for a new TV. The conversation goes something like this:

Brandon: Can I get a new TV?

Me: We don't need a new TV. We have a nice one that we worked hard to pay for.

Brandon: But I need a new one. Our TV can only manage 720, (whatever the heck that means) and I need one that is 1080 capable.

Me: Our TV has a great picture though.

Brandon: Think of the blu-ray player. It can never reach its full potential until it has a TV that can help it reach what it is capable of. Picture-perfect clarity.

Me: So this is about potential?

Brandon: Yes, don't harsh the gig of the blu-ray. It needs to live up to what it was born for.

So on New Year's we went to BestBuy, which is dangerous, especially since we paid off all our consumer debt 3 hours before. Needless to say, we found a killer deal on a 55 INCH SAMSUNG 1080p LCD TV. Toot! (that was the sound of the toot of my own horn).

I admit, I was a skeptic with the TV. But then we turned it on and Oh. My. Goodness. Let it be known, I actually think my husband was right about this purchase. I'll have to record this in my journal.

Dear Journal,

Today my husband was right.

Feel free to come watch a movie anytime and experience the magic.

GOOD

This is our original TV. He is sad and lonely now.

BETTER

(Yes, this TV is in my bedroom. It's quite the theater experience lying/laying/looing in bed.)

BEST

(By the way, the placement of this TV goes completely against my moral code. It's in my front living room, and I swore I never would put a TV in my front room.)

p.s. Please don't break into my house and steal my TV.
