Earlier tonight I watched Steve Yzerman's 19 get raised to the top of the Joe. When did Bob Probert get out of jail? Seriously, seeing Vladimir Konstantinov to this day still makes me cry. There's still a small little piece of me that hopes that one of these days Vlady will be well enough to at least do one shift in an old-timers game, even though I know it's not that likely to happen.
On the subject of televisions, the television I have up here in my room is over ten years old now, and it's starting to show its age. Even the bargain basement TV I bought for my DDR setup in the garage a couple of years ago has a crisper picture at this point. The thing is, not only am I not that willing to drop money on a television while I'm still waiting to hear back on teaching jobs, but given what I've been hearing about this latest generation of televisions, it sounds like the models that are in the stores right now are really skimping on the quality. If I were to buy a television right now, I'd probably get another CRT just to tide me by until better stuff came out on the market.
Also, as much as I've been trying to resist getting one, I really think I need a PVR here soon. It's not that I watch much that much television (though I have been watching more TV lately -- more on that later), but what I do watch tends to come on at incredibly inconvenient times for me. Case in point, SVU is coming on as I type this now. More later.
