Every day there is at least 3 commercials for high definition television, especially with the Digital Conversion coming in February. I have to say that the transition bothers me greatly, but we have to take it and accept it whether we want to or not. I already upgraded one television, the other will have to wait a while, though.
The problem is, unless you have a new television, you have to have a converter box. That’s fine, but that doesn’t mean that if you buy a plasma television you will automatically be fine. No, you may even have to buy a new antennae if you aren’t getting your local channels via cable or satellite. This isn’t really fair either.
What should you do? Find yourself an online plasma store and get yourself a new television, don’t bother with the converter box. Why? In the end, you’ll need a new television, so why buy the box? Upgrade your cable, upgrade your satellite service, it’s worth the initial cost. Trust me.
Archives for the day Thursday, October 2nd, 2008
It’s cold enough for the furnace to run today. What? It’s only October 2! This is not right. I mean, last night, I went out with just a hoodie over a tank, but it was too chilly to wear sandals. Blah, guess it’s time to buckle down the windows for winter, which SUCKS. I also need to buy a decently priced humidifier. I kind of want this one. It’s cute and it will fit on my desk without me having to make a ton of room. The problem? It ain’t payday yet.
I know I’ve been remiss at posting lately, there’s just a bunch going on and often the only thing that gets posted are my twitter posts. I know they bother some people, but I think that I’d rather see those, than nothing at all. At least people get some idea that I haven’t fallen off the face of the earth, no matter how long it is between posts. 
Plus, I have them for a reference for things I need to post about.
I’m currently watching “Most Unique McDonald’s” on the Travel Channel. It’s kind of fascinating. Why is it on? Because I fell asleep watching Pizza Paradise last night and I didn’t bother changing the channel when I turned the TV on this morning. There’s some damn cool McDonald’s out there. Now I have “The View” on. I don’t know why, since it’s turned all political and then some.
Speaking of politics, I told someone yesterday that I can not wait until the election is over. I’m so sick of all the Palin haters, all the Obama haters, all the bullshit that goes along with the political season. It seems like every other post on my friends list lately has some sort of political commentary in it and it’s made me not want to read lately. Honestly, what we think about Obama and McCain and their VP choices don’t really matter. When it’s all said and done, they’re just figureheads. Any real change, comes from Congress. We should be more concerned about what Congress is doing, rather than who the Face of the Nation is going to be. Just give that some thought before you go on with your political rants.
With that, I’m out.
When the weather starts changing, my mind starts spinning and thinking and wondering. One of the things that I’ve been thinking about lately is my home owner insurance and whether we have enough. We have a lot of electronics, 3 desktops, a laptop, a high def TV, a second tv, plus a bunch of other stuff that’s fairly pricey.
That’s just a few things, that doesn’t cover ipods, phones, cell phone, clothes, furniture, kitchen stuff, etc. It really makes me wonder if the insurance we have will cover what we loss if something were to happen. Ah well.
