The boob tube.
My husband Jacob and I love gadgets. We love anything shiny that lights up and if it makes a noise that's even better. If it wasn't for our lack of extra income we would be ass-deep in electronics.
When Jacob and I were both working we were so careless with our money but it was acceptable since we had all of this disposable income. It was SWEET. One day Jacob and I were talking about buying a new TV and the next day he stops by Best Buy on his way home from work and buys one. Without even blinking an eye he bought me a verrrrrrrry nice laptop for Christmas three years ago and a few months later built the ultimate gaming computer for himself.
Even though I didn't cook very often I still had a lot of kitchen gadgets and the more singular its function the more I had to have it.
Now? We have to discuss every. single. fucking. purchase. We have been talking about buying a Nintendo Wii for a few months and after watching some eBay auctions we still didn't take the plunge. I told Jacob that if we sold the Xbox360 and the games we could afford a Wii but then we saw demos for Gears of War 3 and decided to keep the Xbox a little longer.
Holy shit. We are such nerds.
ANYWAY. I can't remember what I was doing last week but Jacob was at home by himself and instead of watching porn like a normal person he orders a new television and a bluray player.
Now I know that I can never leave him alone. Or can I?
I can't be mad at him. Why? Because I'm watching it right now and I'm kind of in love. With a television. Even non-HD stuff looks different. It's almost like the cast of Friends is right in my living room ignoring me. It's pretty amazing.
Don't worry, friends. We can afford it. And if we can't I'll just sell, well, everything else we own. Because I love this TV. And someday it will learn to love me back.

There's that much of a difference with HD, huh? Wow!
My hubs has been wanting to get a Bluray for awhile so it's good to know it's amazing! Our TV is already the fancy smancy one but not as big as yours. We have a 42".
That's some funny stuff, daughter o' mine. MDA

Ah, my husband would officially like to marry your husband. Or just your tv. You know, whichever works.
I seen this, and I laughed. We both work, but still have very little disposable income... I wanted a Wii so desperately, I had not bought a gaming console since the SEGA. (I'm so cheap), but finally since my husband always buys things and spends money and gives me small strokes from it. I decided to get it, I LOVE IT! And I've been happily cheap ever since :)
