I had asked for a VCR, but then realized that the old tank of a boob-tube I had wasn't going to be compatible.

And while I may decorate the place with conversation pieces, all talk ceases when Beauty's big screen is turned on.

No matter where you sit or stand you can see it, no matter where you go you can hear it, and no matter who's around I want to watch it. Movie Phone Guy almost ruined my television dream. He cracked the plastic piece that holds the cable cord steady. Now when I walk across the apartment the picture goes fuzzy. Sometimes there are lines down the screen and the faces are warped.
