4mm TV – The TV I Want

Yes, LG has a TV that will be 55 inch wide and 4mm thick and that’s the tv i want.   The color is said to be more vibrant – and LG is said to be selling the TV later this year.  We don’t know how much it will be – but it won’t be cheap [...]

Speakers For Your Laptop

When you have a noisy store like I do – most times – you can’t even enjoy a show in your store at lunch time.  So when I saw this on ThinkGeek – I just had to order it – at $59.99 – it’s pretty sleek and you can carry it anywhere you go – [...]

Borders Forced To Close Its Doors

Yes! it’s true i see – Borders who employs more than 10,000 employees was forced to shut down and liquidate – no one to bail them out so I heard.   What a shame eh?  I do like that bookstore – but there wasn’t much business in any of them – truth be told – I [...]

Hung – Season 1

Started watching this new show called Hung recently, the first season was pretty short and season 2 has already started on TV so I guess it must have had decent ratings. It’s not quite what I was expecting but the show is enjoyable enough. Basically there’s this school coach who is hurting for cash and [...]

Parenthood

Parenthood is a new show that just started recently – in fact I think only 4 episodes so far. I had thought it was going to be a sappy show – but it turned out to be pretty good. I think I only started watching it because it had that Gilmore Girls – Roralie in [...]

TV Finally Arrived

So my new TV finally arrived a few days ago but you must know by now how upset I am that I’ve waited for more than 1.5 months for it. I ordered it on Boxing Day and had to spend hours hunting it down with Future Shop and when they finally made the arrangements they [...]

Finally a response from Futureshop

So after waiting over a month and making several phone calls, I finally tracked down the number for Fuckershop’s head office. I called and talked to someone who said that they’d pass it on to the appropriate department and I’d hear back within 4 hours. And someone actually did call! To say the same thing [...]

*starts pulling hair out*

On my 5th call to Fuckershop my ‘problem’ with my order was escalated a 3rd time. What does that even mean anyway? Escalated to what? The guy says “This time we should hear something because I’m going to be very description in my report to show just how long this has been going on and [...]

Damnit Futureshop!

So here we are the 16th of January. My TV has been marked as “Successfully shipped” since the end of December. And where do you suppose my TV currently is? According to customer support, it’s still IN THEIR DAMN WAREHOUSE!! I can understand that the holiday’s may have caused some delays in shipping, but 3 [...]

New TV Stand

So I did a bit of shopping around and I’ve found a TV stand I like. It’s more than I was planning to spend, even though it’s currently half price. These things have gotten expensive over the last few years! It’s pretty slick looking though with glass shelves, metal posts and a mounting bracket at [...]

New TV on Order!

It’s absolutely mind boggling to think of the amount of product a company like Futureshop goes through over the holidays. Take their current boxing day sale as an example. Many of the TVs they have on sale were available in quantities of 3000 or more, and they’ve sold out! I finally cashed in some air [...]

TV’s Back

There’s so few good shows on during the summer months that we hardly watch TV at all until right about now when all the new seasons start up. I was pretty disappointed when I found out that 2 of my favorites from last year have been canceled though. Reaper and Terminator were both really good, [...]

New TV Soon

This ‘old’ 53″ rear projection Panasonic I’ve got is a nice TV, but the TV and entertainment center combined are taking up a rather large chunk or our living room. I’d rather have a nice slim LCD or Plasma, something around 50″, and a TV stand to put it on. It’s an excuse to upgrade [...]
