so i'm making big purchases. yesterday, i ordered a GPS, and these past few days, my tv has been dying on me. it's been flickering and giving me a black screen; i've had to turn it on and off a few times to get a picture. i've had this sony 27" CRT for 10 years now, and it's finally time for me to go HD!
luckily for me, i work in an HDTV (among other things) company, so i've got all these years of expertise to advise me. i talked to the picture quality architecture guru this morning for like 15 minutes, and he told me that we benchmark our tv's against the sony bravia XBR2. so that suits me perfectly, since i'm a sony slut. i mean, even my landline phones and alarm clock are sony! hehe. i know sony's expensive, but hey, like i said, i'm faithful to the brand. HD, here i come!
i played good basketball today. i actually got some offensive boards (i boxed out!) and got some easy putbacks, much to the delight of my teammates. the competitive guy was on my team, so he was pleased. he's a decent player, but he can be a pain in the ass sometimes when you're not playing well. i don't like competitive people; they take the fun out of playing because all they care about is winning, and they'll bitch and moan when you make a bad pass or take a bad shot. but anyways, i played three games today, and we won two of them.
i had a dream that an ice demon was chasing me. it was NOT a fun dream. basically, we were at a restaurant, and i opened up a freezer door, and this white skeletal monster was in it, and it proceeded to chase me down a few hallways. i woke up shaking and scared. ick. have you ever had dreams where you're running, but you can't run fast, like you're stuck in molasses? i get those sometimes. it's really frustrating.
this week is crawling by. i've been having trouble sleeping, and it's difficult to get up, too. i'm excited for the weekend, though. it's greg's wedding! unfortunately, since i only have two suits, i'm going to recycle the suit i wore for geoff's wedding back in february. it'll be the navy tommy hilfiger suit with yellow suspenders. and on sunday, i'll most likely buy my new tv. it'll cost more, but i don't want to wait for amazon.com (which is a few hundred dollars less) to deliver it. hm. now that i'm typing this, a few hundred dollars sounds like a big deal. i should save my money. (thanks to mikeT for researching for me.)
football season is upon us! it's time to start rooting for my beloved cowboys. the other day was the hall of fame induction, and i caught michael irvin's speech. it was pretty emotional. but anyways, i am hoping and wade phillips is a good coach, and he can take us to the playoffs again. i am still haunted by tony romo's bobble this past january. *shudders*
my good friend emi's pregnant! i'm so happy for her. they don't know the sex of the baby yet, but already, her husband is thinking of names from _the lord of the rings_. can you imagine a girl named eowyn? i think it'd be cool. hehe. sigh. so many big things happening to my friends. babies, weddings, house buyings. me, i'm just stuck in neutral. wtf, man.
ok, well, i'm heading off soon. it's been a good day, albeit it's only tuesday. i'm having dinner with alan and ting tonight, too. haven't seen them in forever. yay!
