goodbye, old friend.
John and I used up a Target gift card we got for Christmas and bought a new TV for our bedroom tonight. The one we had before, a TV/VCR combo, was one my mom bought for me when I started college. I used it in my dorm. That little TV told me about the results of the infamous 2000 election, the results of the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics when Sarah Hughes got the gold and Michelle Kwan ended up with bronze. And a bunch of other things that didn't make me cry.
Now there's been another election and we're at the end of another Olympics. The VCR is broken on the old one and when I turn it on, it tries to autostart a tape that isn't there, because there's nothing in it, and when it can't, it shuts itself off. It might be easier to fix if there weren't a TV on top of it. Anyway, the new one is a fancy-pants flat screen and is a little bigger, too. We also got a VCR/DVD thing. Because I still want to watch VHS tapes. Replacing all my old tapes with DVDs would just be too expensive. Plus, I can tape stuff. I'm hanging on to old technology, I know. But. Sometimes it's just not time to let go.
I've been really wrapped up in the Olympics. It's like a roller coaster. I love it.
Oh yeah, like the new layout?
