Thanks to my pal at work, the guy who calls himself Hurricane, and his willingness to drive my sorry butt out to the Best Buy that actually had the model of TV I wanted in stock… I have a new working television. Yay!

In other news, it’s too freaking hot. The only upside to this summer is that it’s taken longer than usual to really crank up to full temperature. My room’s a sauna, and that’s with the benefit of having kept all computer equipment shut down since last night. I didn’t turn anything on until a bit after 10pm (so I could write this entry and check email, mostly) and still… too darned hot.

Unfortunately, the ready-availability threshold for buying an A/C unit may have already passed. Oh well…
