throw my tv out a window

Zone out to Foresnsic Files and wake up in a late night time loop. Its not that I need to tv to fall asleep, its that my teddy bear needs a nightlight. Also to drown out the snoring. I threw an egg out a window once, it was wrapped in blue fake fur with rubber bands and it didn’t break. Silly school contest. It really is time for the boob tube to go but what does b/f think we should get rid of? My uber nifty recumbant exercise bike that was made in Finland. Wrong answer. I did agree to throw away a rag rug I ruined in the wash though.

b/f just dragged me through Walmart (he refuses to comprehend that this place is evil b/c cat litter is $.50 cheaper here.) And we stopped to look at the 32” flat screens. His friend wants to get a 36” even though he tells us weekly that hes sure hes about to lose his job. We don’t just have a tv here….we have “Electronica Controlius Centralia” ECC is uber evil. There is the big ass tv I don’t know, maybe its 27”, I don’t have to squint to see it. 2 vcrs, a dvd burner, a separate dvd player, a cd player, a stereo surround sound system, and the newest addition is a computer ‘jukebox’ with more than 1000 of his cds on mp3 on it with cover art and everything. We have something like 50 remotes, I don’t know what any of them do, even on/off is a crap shoot as to what is going to happen. I bought him the Replay TV TIVO-like thing. It is the bane of my existance….I’m sitting there minding my own business listening to The Alternative with my eyes closed and suddenly the tv has switched over to record Lawnmower Man 2, Job’s War for the 87th time. Yes, I’m sure wonderful to have every episode of South Park on dvd. But now this damn thing is recording some new kind of crap all the damn time!!! I will admit to leaving the bedroom tv on timer at night and falling asleep to Forensic Files but I’d be happier defenestrating the whole system!!! I’m very selective about what I do watch and would be happy if the only channels we recieved were The History Channel and A&E but really I probably don’t need to see any more about the 5,000 terra cotta warriors or medieval weaponry either. I just keep convincing myself that if its educational tv its ok. The same friend who is getting the new tv believes that sitting in front of the tv causes ADD through radiation poisoning and refuses to have cable tv because you shouldn’t have to pay to watch commercials. See? I can get my crack pot ideas at home, I don’t need tv to hear about them!
