Columbus Sailed the Sheets so Blue

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.

You can't do that with LCD or DLP, which is supposedly an even better picture than plasma.
Oh, and a co-worker just bought the 60" Pioneer Elite. He said that since they got it, they have to look away at the gross scenes on CSI because they are just too vivid.
