Last month, two things of note happened, one of significantly more import that the other.<\/p>\n
Firstly, my family was sealed in the Mount Timpanogos Utah LDS temple.\u00a0 It was a long time coming, but it was awesome when it finally happened.\u00a0 My little boy, of course, just slept through the ceremony, being one of those infants and all, but my wife and daughter were quite awake and I have never had a more happy experience in all of my life.<\/p>\n
That was the important thing.\u00a0 Naturally, I’ll talk more about the unimportant.<\/p>\n
My wife let me buy a new TV and a Blu-ray player, and didn’t kick me out of the house when I bought a bunch of Blu-ray discs.\u00a0 (It is <\/em>important, at least to me, that I didn’t get kicked out of the house, because it is cold<\/em> outside.)<\/p>\n Amazon had a deal that I was too weak to pass up, and so I didn’t.\u00a0 When the TV arrived at my house, the delivery guys opened the box and liberated its content, and my daughter promptly asked, “Dad, why is our new TV so small?”<\/p>\n Well, she had a point; the screen size is actually a bit bigger, but physically the new TV is quite a bit smaller than the old one, on account of being an LCD flat panel, where the old one was a free-standing CRT rear projection model.<\/p>\n So anyway, the discs themselves are still really expensive, but with Black Friday I was able to find some deals and bought a bunch of movies that I already have on DVD, because I am apparently easily suckered.\u00a0 I also bought a few movies that I didn’t <\/em>already have on DVD, like WALL-E<\/em> and The Dark Knight<\/em>.\u00a0 Somehow I must justify my Blu-ray buyingness.<\/p>\n
