Make fun of me. I’m getting a Gamecube (used ebay) for my birthday. it’s from the boys. figured it would be a gift they could understand and appreciate.

Thought of the superior Xbox of course, or even waiting for the new systems we’ll hear about in the upcoming E3. But some of you are well aware of how cheap I am. plus the auction does come with some cool games.

Ok 2nd thing to make fun of me about: my TV has died. It was 15 or 17 years old. It’s technically not dead really, but past the point at which I care to use it. The front panel controls died long ago. Well last night the remote control input stopped working. It’s a blind/deaf/mute TV now. Kinda like the guy in the Metallica - One music video. Except its a TV.

I’m sure the innards are working otherwise.

So…i’ll be looking over the Crutchfield catalog for ideas. Pray with me that I can be strong and get an HD-ready set. This is usually where I would wimp out and replace my 27″ with another 27″. Maybe even cable-ready.
