So I went shopping...

Say hello to the newest member of my family. It’s a Sharp LCD television—a tiny little thing, with a 13 inch screen, but just right for my room.

I’ve been noticing lately that the old (and I do mean old) one’s screen had started looking fuzzy and everyone sounded as if they were talking with a mouth full of marbles. Turning the volume up didn’t help all that much and anyway, I can’t turn the volume up too loudly or I’d blast my neighbor out of her bed. I thought about headphones, but the old television didn’t have a jack for headphones.

So I went shopping tonight. And I really liked this little television. It’s a slim (no tube sticking out behind), enhanced definition tv, not high definition, but I wouldn’t get a high definition television unless it was a much larger one and I’m not prepared to spend that kind of money for something I don’t watch that much. My new little tv is compact and rather unobtrusive and my oh my, is the screen ever sharp. Nobody sounds like they’re talking with a mouth full of marbles, either. I can also plug headphones into it, which means I don’t have to worry a bit about disturbing my neighbor if I turn up the volume. And with the sleep timer on it, I think I’m in a little bit of tv heaven now.

Yeah, I’m pretty pleased with my new purchase. It’s kinda cute, isn’t it?
