The Second Best Thing In Our Apartment

I am excited.

As you all know, the most amazing, first-place “thing” in our apartment is the noble Belgian Waffle maker. Up until last night, the Zen water fountain held the Silver Medal. The new second-place trophy goes to our television. You’re probably thinking, “What the heck…if the TV was that good, it would have been in second place all along…blah blah…” Well, my friends, I have found a NEW FEATURE on this boob tube that frees our household from the agony, stress, and anguish over the remote control. See, up until this point, Steph and I always had to negotiate how long I could watch sports during the commercials of Greys Anatomy (Why is Grey’s NOT on the Tivo? 1) I don’t like it, and 2) The Office trumps). Now…we have…wait for it…there needs to be more of a build up. Hold on. *12 second pause* The Silver Medal goes to…SPLIT SCREEN TELEVISION!!!!!!

Ok, your reaction wasn’t near what I was hoping for. But get this…NOW, she can have Grey’s on at the same time I am watching the Rockies tromp the D-backs in the NLCS! Crazy, I know. All you do is press a single button, select which side of the split you want and type the channel. Flip back and forth between the screens for the individual channel’s audio. Two different channels, same television, on at once. Genius.

I think I’m going to go play with it right now…

Oh yeah, one more thing. You can be watching your show and pull up a sidescreen that scrolls through the channels and actually SHOWS what’s on the screen. So much better than a guide…who doesn’t like pictures?

  1. i dont think it’s appropriate for you to play with it right now

  2. 1) i love how you & ivey have totally turned your backs on Greys…so fickle…i can remember the days of you guys getting in the van and 10 minutes down the road you would be like…”OH MY GOSH…DID YOU SEE GREYS LAST NIGHT!!!” i would look to jimmie and be like, “damn that grey’s anatomy” hahahaha

    2) please be more specific when you talk about playing with it. sounds like you are little to excited to see that TV. almost like the time you wanted to play tennis with Guy while your wife was back in the room ‘waiting on you’. hahahah

    love you dude!!

  3. Aaron – I think it’s ok to play with it any time (the tv menu options, of course)

    Bush – I remember those days as well…back when Grey’s was a show about surgeons and resident doctors; not about a bunch of middle schoolers that work in a hospital…haha. Oh yeah and and about the tennis while Steph was back in the room…? We had already had sex like 7 times that day.

    Love you too dog! haha
