The Newest addition to our family

We call him "Oh Great One". We got it as an early Christmas gift from Ryan's dad and stepmom. They just got a new plasma screen and decided to pawn their old TV off on us. Not that it took much arm twisting at all. Personally I never was into why a tv need be more than 27 inches myself but when I saw Christian Bale on a 53 inch screen I understood what all the hoopla is about.
We actually we were getting it for about a month but had to arrange some way of getting out to Carleton Place to pick it up. Ryan got leave on Thursday night this week so he and a buddy went and rented a van (which could barely hold the thing) and went out to pick it up. So I walked in the door from work on Friday to this beast of a TV taking up my entire livingroom. It's actually not a bad looking set it just looks huge in our house. We need to get a bigger house just to accomodate our tv set! Not only that but there's only one way of setting up our couch and tv due to the cable hookup so we are watching this thing literally six feet away from our faces. I can even see the whole screen in my scope of vision! I am getting used to it though. One of the first things I want to do is get Laura-Line over here to play SuperMario Bros 3 and play the Giant world. Mario is going to look huge!!!!!!!

Anyway so that's the news in the Macdonald/Jones household for this weekend. Not much else happening. Watched movies Friday, went out to the pub with some of Ryan's army dudes last night and lounged and ate ice cream today. Got my business cards from work already but they spelled my name with a big d and also used my maiden name so I have to reorder.Overallsatisfying weekend. Here's Ryan's army pic too!
