A little of this and a bit more

The home of short and some longer stories for adults with lists, rants, and observations.

Could burglars please ignore this post

Reading Time: < 1 minuteMy goodness, it’s really fun spending money like a millionaire when one isn’t one. My bride states, ever so proudly (and very often ), that I spend money like water, so with that in mind could burglars please ignore this post.

Well, dear reader it’s been bucketing down, pissing down, chucking it down and just plain raining heaps here at the house of tbaoo. We have a new 3d hd television, 3d hd blue ray home theatre system and a new appreciation of just how crappy “free to air television” is in Australia.

These dramatically realistic pictures are of the very thing we now call our own. It’s exciting just how the tremendously confusing the settings, three remotes and cable box connections are and how I managed to get it all to work, but there are a number of outstanding points requiring my full attention.

I’ll sit down now and scrutinise the accompanying manuals and figure it out, I’m sure. I’ll dress for the part in my pyjamas and with loads of yummy coffee. In fact my bride has purchased a new pair of peanuts pyjamas for this occasion, she is standing here right now as I tap away, demanding my attention, she is struggling to distract me though.

The internet, Samsung Smart tv, movies, iPhone ( etc ) and cutting horse lessons, all accessed via this proud example of modern Samsung technology, black, shiny and smooth just like the quarter horse stallion I’ll have to ride. Packed with features, which may in fact be too many for me, but hey it’s all good fun this learning process …

Beware, my two dogs will rip your lungs out, if you come near the house of tbaoo, although nowadays you might need to wake them first.

I had to laugh when I read your post here, I remeber when I used to mock my mum and older people in general because they would not be able to use new technology but I am starting to see eye to eye with them now.

In all seriousness I dont know 1/2 of what my phone does but I really cant be bothered learning I would rather it just work, the desire to spend time learning how to use everything that I buy rather than just be able to use it when I pick it up is not there anymore!

tbaoo

thanks lassa – my iphone 4 is great and wondrous and in some way remains a mystery 😉
