We have an old TV my father won at a raffle years ago. These days, it’s used mostly to watch kids movies we check out of the library. The latest family favorite: “My Neighbor Totoro” — Very sweet and strange and not at all like the Disney crap that I’m already sick of (and my daughter is only two and half…help!)

We wound up getting a flat screen for free. Believe me, you’re not missing out. It’s clearer, but really–who cares? My husband flicks from show to show asking, “Do you see that? Can you believe the clarity?” It’s a male thing. I’d rather get so lost in a movie I’m not aware of the quality of the picture.

And I agree with Kristy. Who needs it in Hawaii?

I have to admit that the lavish entertainment room has never been a big fantasy of mine. We have done the flat panel tv, but that was mostly because we have a rather small house, and we wanted room to, you know, walk around and all. Your room sounds perfect, Mia, and besides, with the views in Hawaii, who needs to stay inside watching anything?!

DVDs are scarce in my home since the cable company provides Videos ON DEMAND. Granted, I can’t select all the titles found at Blockbuster, but by being patient these movies eventually will be a button click away.

On another note, this morning I enjoyed an article from THE NEW YORK TIMES entitled, “Gowns, Hair Spray and the Texas Dip: Debutante Season,” and must share with the link:

Well, officially we have “given up” collecting DVDs, as we have given up bringing any other clutter into the home on purpose (since I fill that need nicely with just the unintentional stuff), but I’ll admit that this year I purchased “Elf” knowing that I’d never be sorry. And just maaaaybe my inability to return movies to Blockbuster stems from knowing that in a week they’ll just charge the balance and the movie will be mine, mine, mine! This worked out nicely with “Gone With the Wind” and “Pride & Prejudice”.
