Couch What?

Links come and go; however, I can always, with confidence, link back to myself. I returned to the first month of my eJournal and images in 2003 in order to find my initial reference to television.

Of course I grew up with it, but 45 years ago it was mostly in black and white. This blog even contains former screens in my life.

Nothing though, quite prepared me for the seductiveness of high definition in my living room. I spent nearly a month with the Toshiba 42" LCD and my old Bell ExpressVu Personal Video Recorder 5100. Let's be frank, one shouldn't even consider moving to a flat screen if one's got access to just regular broadcasting. For you see, standard TV sucks on a wide screen.



When activating the 9200 satellite receiver yesterday, I dropped all additional programming except the high definition bundle. Wow! I'm sure the thrill will quickly wear off, but I can just stare at nearly anything in HD. I feel as though I'll be spending a bit of quality time this week with PBS from either Boston or Seattle! I've also set up timers to catch my favourites like CSI: New York, Grey's Anatomy, and even Scrubs.
