My company gives us three floating holidays so today I'm celebrating the day that Columbus discovered the white sale. Yes, it's one of the better holidays because it's the one that requires us to shop. And that I've been doing. All weekend long. On Friday I went into Best Buy with every intention of buying one of those Bose speaker thingies for my iPod. I never made it over by the Bose speaker thingies. Instead, I wandered over by the flat panel TV's and then into Magnolia. Let's just say the Bose speaker thingy would have been a hell of a lot cheaper but not nearly as pretty to look at.

So, does anyone out there need a 20" Panasonic with remote? It's about 4 years old and dusty. I'll make you a really good deal on it. Really good. ***UPDATE*** I gave away the TV today. A very nice woman in need of a bed (she was relocated to this area because of Katrina and decided to stay) came to pick up a daybed I was giving away. She got the TV as her lovely parting gift. Anyone who drives out to Loudoun County from PG County in rush hour deserves a free TV.

And speaking of TV's, right now the two younger kitties are amusing themselves (and me) by watching this cat video called "Catnip". All it has on it are birds and squirrels frolicking in the wild, making bird and squirrel noises, and the cats go crazy. First they sit, mesmerized, then they try to paw at the screen, or they "run" after the birds who fly away. It's a hoot to watch.

Several years ago we bought a 42" flat panel plasma. It was one of the best purchases we ever made. We love it. Have a Happy Holiday and enjoy.

So, so true. I'm glad you're having fun. Ooh, Best Buy, I need a stack of CD-"R"'s. Those things pirates buy. Um yeah lame joke. I'm rambling. NE way. Happy day off :)

To quote Lando Calrissian in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back-"alright you pirate". Yeah. I'm THAT geeky.

I have love for audiobooks from the library, that is where my CD-Rs come into play. Oh the beauty of it. If you find you don't need yours anymore though, I can most definitely give them a good home. :)

I'm so glad I wandered into LJ today. You've reminded me that I need to hit Best Buy to get some DVD-RW's too. I have a couple of *erm* things *erm* recorded that I owe to someone but nothing to burn them to.

And the plasma? We got a 42" just over a year ago. Brass on the wall in HD? Yes, Please! It's totally droolworthy. But from what I've heard LCD is actually a better pic.

The LCD bit about not being able to see it from the side made me smile. I love the fact that laptop screens are LCD coz when I'm on a plane typing away on the old fanfic instead of work, then the nosy sod in the chair nextdoor can't see what I'm doing to Brass.
