Ya know how I said this year had been good to me? Remember all the overtime I’ve been working? Well, Christmas came early for Moby this year. I decided to put some of my hard earned dough to good use.
Yes! Your eyes are NOT deceiving you. I bought a new Panasonic 42″ Plasma (read flat screen) TV
Ain’t it a beauty? I’m as surprised as you are. It’s amazing how far I’ve come financially in the past 2 years1. I’ve gone from barely affording a plane ticket to buying a new plasma TV! I’m so excited I could just pee myself.2
(In my best TV announcer voice)
But wait! There is more! Oh yeah baby.
I couldn’t settle w/just a plasma TV. Oh no, yours truly had to have some new fangled gadget to display ON it. Never fear….
…is here! I got the premium one so it comes w/a HD-DVD drive as well. This way I don’t have to worry about buying yet another DVD player. The really good news? I paid for it all in cash. Now that my friends is a nice feeling.
Yeah, I’m bragging but I think I deserve it. Looking back over these past few years, I have worked hard. I recovered from a very destructive relationship3, I moved three, count’em 3 times, my social life is pretty much non-existent, I’ve only taken 1 vacation in 2 years and I’ve done my share of charity work. So, I fell pretty good seeing some benefit from all my hard work. Anyway, I’m not quite done yet. I still have to buy stuff for the roomie and my nephew/niece back in Texas. Other than that, my shopping is about over for the season. Either way, I’m enjoying to fruits of my labor and I promise no more gloating. *g*
2 Actually, when the TV arrived at my doorstep. I did pee a little.
3Not to mention the $10,000 in debt that came with it.
I have screen envy! You deserve some nice things, sweetie.
Tres cool. I am a bit envious … but I think you deserve it.
It’s like Mobyday in … umm, November …
Hey…thought you were getting a Mac to run Windoze on? 🙁
I am so jealous! We have actually been looking at getting a new one ourselves but we are trying to wait till the prices comes down a bit. They are sweet aren’t they?
Those are very nice early Christmas presents. I hope you enjoy them. Everyone needs to treat themselves once in a while. 🙂
Oh my god, I’ve looked and looked at these for a year or more now. wondering, pricing, comparing…..just went the other day again. Just couldn’t do it. AND YOU DID. Good for you, man. Totally good for you. (Hope you changed your shorts after pissing a little in ’em!). Enjoy and enjoy and enjoy.
I’m totally envious. My old TV just died and in the interest of not spending more than I should be I bought more or less the same model as I had before but I really wanted what you just got. Hmmm, I live nearby, we should meet so I can come over and watch yours 🙂
*Droooool* 42″ Plasma TV. I never thought I would be a size queen, but DAYUM am I jealous!
The 360 looks great on an HDTV. I have 10″ more then you though! So what is your xbox live gamertag so I can add you. Mine is “The Magic Geek”. Also do you have any games yet for the 360.
I will have to have you on the podcast to tell us about the TV and how good it looks. We have not had a review of a plasma yet. Just LCD.
Can you float me some freebie cash. I could use it these days. LOL! Just love the TV…I have been eyeing one too!
42 inches? wow! that’s big! almost half as big as mine. mine’s a high def DLP. 7 1/2 feet horizontal by 5 1/2 feet vertical. thought of spending the money on charity..
…
but i didnt.
We got a new flat panel TV too… HDTV is soooooo freaking awesome… we got the Philips with ambiance lighting… the coolest thing in the world… enjoy your new TV…
