Our television died last night. I'm guessing that it got tired of showing political coverage and committed seppuku. I can't say that I blame it.

Normally my husband and I would be happy since this would give us an excuse to buy a flat screen. But since it's quite likely that Tom's going to get laid off next month (again...gah), dropping a bunch of money on a brand new toy would probably be unwise. So we've decided to wait a few weeks and see if we like living without television.

This should be an entertaining experiment, since I haven't lived without a television since college.

Ohnoes, sorry to hear that. And about Tom, too. :(

Too bad you don't live in NYC, cuz usually you can stroll around and find someone's used TV on a street corner. And sometimes, they work!

Heh, that's what we did with our broken tv. (I live on a busy road, and someone picked it up in less than an hour, lol).
