this morning i got to play with mr. finlayson’s worship team. it was so much fun. i love getting to play bass. i STILL don’t feel very comfortable with it, but i think it’s just cos i know so many great bass players…well, one great bass player anyway…and i’m not even in the same ballpark. but still! fun!

jimmy did dishes today. i told him he gets Dude Points for that. he (with some help from dad) also managed to get our new 32 inch flat panel television set mounted to the wall. shut up.
i know.

i made the mistake of saying something stupid like, “look, if you’re going to get a goddamn giant flat tv like on the commercials? then you’ve got to run the outlet and the cable behind it because i WILL NOT HAVE ugly cables hanging down the wall to the the cable thingy and the plug. they never show you that shit on the commercials, but you KNOW people buy those horrible things and then have ugly damn cables hanging down and i WILL NOT HAVE IT.”

i figured that would keep him from getting one for a few months. holy shit was i wrong. because what he heard was, “if you fix it so’s i don’t see any cables by all means go and buy a giant honking plasma tv.” so i get home one day and there’s an outlet and a cable hook-up right in the middle of the wall.

lucky for me, plasma tvs are really big (we couldn’t find one smaller than 37 inches, the hell?), and we didn’t need a big tv for the bedroom. so much to jimmy’s chagrin we got an LCD flat panel blah blah blah. we spent over an hour in Rex trying to figure out which one was the best, which one had the best picture quality, etc. finally i said, “jimmy, it’s not like any of this matters…it’s the tv in the bedroom. all we watch in there is cartoons. all this high res mumbojumbo won’t even matter. as long as Peter’s pants are green we’re okay.”

we decided, after my inner-jew popped up and said a few things, to get the one on sale because it was 7 inches bigger and $200 cheaper than the 26 inch ones. which made no sense to me. jimmy said it was because it didn’t have good resolution. i said that i didn’t care as long as it wasn’t on sale because they break or something. cos if this tv breaks? heads are going to roll.

anyway, long, boring, sweaty story short:
we have a tv on the wall of our bedroom…just like on tv.

worst part:
i fucking love it.
