Well, a week ago I said to myself, "Ardith, you should buy a new TV. Seriously, the snow on the analog stations is getting old." And so I did. A Sharp AQUOS LC-37D40U, to be exact.
Since I am (unfortunately) not on vacation yet, and didn't feel like having Fedex leave it sitting around my breezeway unattended for half the day, I went to go pick it up after I got off work. Much to the entertainment of the Fedex guy who helped me, we managed to get the box completely into my car without leaving the trunk open. Much to my own entertainment, I managed to get it out, inside, and slid carefully down all thirteen stairs 20 minutes later.
Thirty minutes of setup and a cheap indoor amplified UHF/VHF antenna later, and I have my new, snowless, incredibly awesome 37 inches of viewing pleasure.
Time to go become a vegetabletest it out some more.
