(no subject)

The big shiny tv I bought for a ridiculous amount of money three years ago has died on me. The Googles inform me that the particular problem I am experiencing is a common one among this brand, and unless I am willing to take it apart, learn how to solder, and fix it myself, the cost of repairing it would be more than the cost of replacing it with a comparable model at today's prices. I am not willing to do so, nor do I have the mental energy to deal with it...like...at all. New TV ordered, fingers crossed this does not mean I won't be able to afford Bitchin' Party.

I know it's a small thing in the grand scheme of things...and the fact that I *can* replace it means I am stupidly privileged in all sorts of ways. I would just really like to stop feeling like everything around me is breaking and going wrong. That would be awesome.
