Finally did it...

After finally tiring of watching movies on my desktop and laptop, I decided to buy a television.  The open space on my shelving unit is now full, or a vacuum, depending on one's perspective.  I can't really say I needed the television, and I don't know where the cable hook up is in this apartment, so I can't say that I will be moving in that direction any time soon, but I must say that my current dvd playback device does that exceptionally well, and when I tire of it in the living room, I can use it as a monitor for the desktop in the bedroom, since it has computer input.  I make no pretensions about what I will watch, but I have yet to manage to sit through a complete program, though I managed a little of several movies.  Technical issues are still present, as for some reason the audio won't play on my stereo, but that is a minor issue, since stereo blasting at me from 10 feet away and no doubt irritating my neighbors isn't the way for me.  Oh well, that's it, and I haven't been up to anything terribly exciting, if you are hoping for something a bit more salacious than what I have related, my apologies.
