Growing up, while several of my friends had newer TVs (with the little plugs that would allow an elementary school boy to plug in his NES), we had the same TV that my parents purchased shortly after marrying in 1979. This was the case until I was about 14 or 15. If I could find it in a landfill somewhere and plug it in, I'm confident it would look better than the "TV" that's in the cheap furniture box in my lodgings for the conference.
For those of you looking for a little more description as to what exactly I'm seeing here, read on:
If you go to see UP, which you really should do, and you find yourself in the 3D version of the film, take off your 3D glasses at some point and imagine you are watching the movie through a green sheet of cellophane applied to a fishbowl. This should reproduce my situation satisfactorily.
You get absolutely no sympathy from me, my friend. I just returned from staying in the dorm at UT, sleeping on a couch/bed, sharing a bathroom that only had hot water in the mornings, and having NO telelvision.
ReplyDeleteFYI - Grown ups should NEVER live in dorms.
I didn't have a TELEVISION either, by the way.
