digital

So my family's TV is like 20 years old, analog obviously. My parents bought a converter box for the Grand Digital Switch, the ads of which have been polluting the television for months, which will CONTINUE since Congress approved a delay until June of forced digital conversation. Thanks guys. Anyway, it makes the picture sharper, but also does a weird thing with the dimensions of the picture...the fam watched Chuck like they do every Monday (I had my headphones on my head and plugged into my laptop) and it was sort of...squished. Other shows had a black bar on the left and ride sides of the screen. I am not pleased. Naturally the only channel that doesn't do either of these things is the 'movie channel' (which we have never gotten before...thanks converter box, i guess) which is not really that awesome since said channel plays old Burt Reynolds movies. Nothing current, at least that I saw tonight. Lame. (Yes, I am a shallow newmovie fag.)

Anyway, the point of all this is that my dad moved the old rabbit ears (my family kicks it old school) to a new spot on top of the TV, since the feng shui got all disrupted with the introduction of the converter box. I was staying up late like I always do, only to hear a slight scraping noise. I looked up just in time to watch the rabbit ears dive off the TV. Now they are hanging pathetically, antenna down, by the cord. Rabbit ear suicide at being rendered obsolete via converter box. I APPROVE.

Also at around 2 am I went upstairs for something. I passed the front door on the way up and noticed it was unlocked. Lovely.

Also also my glasses are AWOL. This is not good because I really shouldn't be driving without them, but how else shall I get to class tomorrow?! CRISIS.
