Just my kind of luck. This morning they delivered my brand new HDTV (finally!), and I was obviously excited to try it out… except they forget the appropriate cables for HDTV, so I guess I’ll have to wait until I finish work before I get to enjoy my new gadget. Well, there’ll be plenty of time for that, I guess… but I just can’t hold myself, in these situations – I invariably feel like a little kid who’s all too eager to play with a new toy. In fact, I’m having a hard time focusing on work, just thinking about my leisurely evening plans! And I still gotta pick up those cables, and I just hope there’ll be time for that – with rush hour traffic and all.

Let me tell you, it’s been a LONG time since I’ve been meaning to buy an HDTV, but I forced myself to wait some time until the prices got reasonable. Most people I know seem to think it’s not such an interesting thing… but all I can think of when I’m faced with such claims is “you people better go see your optometrist”. I mean, it’s just amazing how detailed these televisions can get! Sometimes I get absolutely mesmerized watching those endless HD demo loops in electric stores. High definition video is simply a beautiful thing to watch! And starting today, I’ll be doing that from the comfort of my own couch. Ah, how I wish this afternoon will go by swiftly!
