splurge-onification

i like to make up words. i think that being able to add various endings (and using somewhat correct grammar to do so) shows that i understand my language.

anyhoo, i splurged this past week. my roommate and i have been without a tv that fits our living room.

katie had a small contraption. you know, the dorm-room tv/vcr combo. very effective in small spaces. but we don't have a small space. and when trying to do various activities with the wii, the tv was just a bit too small...

then her fiance brought over his old tv, which was a great size but unfortunately lacked the capacity to hook up either a dvd player or wii to it. antenna or cable tv only. so i'm rejecting it.

i hope that you are beginning to realize that i'm an elitist when it comes to tvs. i do like to share my opinions.

so i went out to peruse and possibly purchase a new tv. actually, i went in search of a computer monitor because they tend to be cheaper than tvs. but alas i was informed that my wii would be unable to hook up to a monitor and also that most monitors don't have built-in speakers. both were key decisions for me to report to the tv sections and scope out the possibilities. so i looked at different sizes and even upped my price range. i had wanted to spend 200 but reluctantly let myself bump it to 250 so that i could get one bigger than 20 inches. cause 20 inches is small for a tv. but the tvs costing 280 were still just out of my price range.

i found one on clearance at target and bought it. granted, had i been willing to spend a bit more, i could have gotten one whose brand i recognized, but i liked this one well enough.

and of course, while perusing in the electronics section of target, i also saw that they had wii play on sale...so i added 45 to my total spending of the day.

which means that for a total of 316 dollars with tax (literally 316, not 316.01) i have a new tv, new wii game and new wii remote.
