Appurtenance

I love my new tv. I absolutely fucking love it.

The roommate and I found it on sale, and split the cost. It's 27 inches of LCD High Definition love that imbues our living room with the light glow of televisual entertainment. It makes watching TV better, it makes my video games better.

It's the first real luxury item I've bought since moving. My laptop was a gift, my DVDs are by no means necessary, but also not extravagant. This marvelous TV, however, is very much in the realm of "No, you didn't need this at all."

We really did need it, though. The replaced TV was falling apart. It failed to turn on whenever you hit the actual power button. Sometimes the picture would blank out, and you would have to hit the screen to make it return to life. It took a little Fonzie finesse. Who wants to deal with that when they've got two episodes of The Office running back to back?
