Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

I successfully ignored the 'you're getting on the highway' sign and found Circuit City this evening. It also appears that any of the directions you fine people gave me after yesterday's journal would have got me to Circuit City just fine. Where were you yesterday afternoon when I was getting directions? Not at work with me, that's for sure!

So, we've got a brand new TV for use this Saturday. And you know what that means:
1) Everyone can see the TV at once!
2) No anti-pirate squiggle vision !
3) No dodgeball in the house!


HIghlight from my spending adventure, following which I became the easiest sale this guy made all day:

Me: Where are the remotes for all these DVD players?
Circuit City Guy: We don't put them out, because people like to steal them
Me: But you've got them somewhere, right?
CCG: Yes, sir. All the DVD players come with remotes.
Me: Of course... Have you got the remotes for this Panasonic, and this Samsung handy?
CCG: Sure... Hold on just a second.
<a few seconds later>
CCG: Here you are sir... is there a particular feature you're looking for?
Me: Yeah, a remote that doesn't suck.
CCG: Sir?
Me: I'm not picky about a lot of things, just let me go on this one, okay?
CCG: Certainly sir, if there's anything else I can do for you, just let me know.
