My ESPN TV’s Here!

It’s a 20″ LCD Sharp Flat Panel. The picture on the box looks awesome! I didn’t realize it was a flat panel for some reason. I’m almost tempted to keep it, since it’s my trophy from a season of obsessive statistical and matchup analysis and taking all kinds of flack from male fantasy dorks across the nation (let’s not forget the hundreds of consecutive posts on the ESPN bulletin board that one afternoon with the subject line, “Is [3am Wanderer] a Man?” and the public posts theorizing what it might be like to have sex with me. Whatever. Let em wonder. They’ll never get the chance). But it’s too small for my living room. I’m probably going to sell it and put the money towards a 50 inch when the technology gets better and the prices are lower. But wow. Brian brought it in tonight and I can’t freakin’ believe I won a TV!

Despite having depleted my savings this month, I think I’m going to go for the iPod. Plus, you can download books.
