Neighborly TV
Back in the day when TVs were exclusively tubes, you knew someone was watching TV in their living room by the faint flicker of a bluish glow coming from the window. Now that TVs are flat, GIANT, and hung on walls, I can totally watch TV right along with my neighbors as I walk by (or from a hidden spot in the bushes). Not that there's anything wrong with that. I'm just disappointed I've never caught someone watching naked people humping to funky music or something.
In other random news, yesterday I found myself suddenly thinking about and craving Salisbury steak. Not Salisbury steak proper, mind you. I speak of the Salisbury steak meal that Nutri-System made way back in 1988 when I worked there part time. Oh man, that was pure, microwaved goodness I tell ya!
In other random news still, today I managed to put together the bed frame Cathryn got for the guest room. Combined with her air mattress, it's superfragalistic comfortable. And when I say put together, I means it! The parts were many, the tools were small, and at one point I think I had to fend off pirates. Also, the metal mid-beam was so freakin' sharp, I'm positive it's made from razor blades and guillotines (there's even an info graphic warning sticker showing a cut finger bleeding). But I took my time and emerged unscathed, and the whole process was well worth the fun surprise for my schmoopy :P
