Why the gently caress would you need a 40" TV for the bedroom?

I just got a bottle of Riesling, and it's delicious.

I am counting the days until the CCFL bulb in my 32" Sony goes out so that I can take the 50" downstairs TV and put it in the bedroom and get a 65" for the living area. It will be sweet but this damned Sony works fine still.

My last apartment, before buying a house, allowed me to mount my TV only if the maintenance guy installed the wall mount.

What year is it? I thought for a second you meant 40" was too small, and I'd almost agree. Big TVs are cheap as poo poo, and they don't even take up much room anymore. Might as well go big if you're going to use it frequently.

Maybe I'm just old school, but I just use my bedroom for reading, loving and sleeping.

Then again, I have upright and electric basses and a computer with triple monitors in the second bedroom, so I don't really need a TV in the gently caressbedroom.

It has been proven a TV in the bedroom is a barrier to good sleep. Sleep hygiene involves relaxing before bed, not being stimulated :science:

There's nothing stimulating on TV these days anyway so what better way to get to sleep than some mindless drivel?

I personally can't sleep without some kind of background noise. I lived alone for so long that any little creak or squeak in the house would wake me up paranoid someone was in the place. Put the TV on with a low enough volume and it drowned out all that creepy poo poo.

Have you tried a white noise machine? I was ambivalent when we got one, but it's actually pretty nice. Drowns out random house noises without lighting up the room and the chance of getting roped into whatever's on TV.

I got used to going to sleep when they were testing the 50cal on the ship, so I rigged up a little machine to smash an empty bottle against the ground over and over again. Never slept better.

Also I ordered an Apple watch.

The "stimulation" is mostly from the artificial light of the TV, which destroys melatonin produced naturally in your body. Not from the program content.

Meh, not universally true. I sleep better with a cup of coffee a little before bed, background noise, and a bit of light.

In other news, my tagine order was screwed up. Apparently I'm not the only one where the seller decided to send a plain colored rather than the more elaborate design paid for. :argh:

My weird-rear end dog decided to get into a fight with himself on my bed and somehow tore a seam in our comforter. So it was time to order a new one.



And I ordered myself a new wallet while I was at it. I don't know if it's better than my current wallet, but eh, I can always return it to Kohls up the road if I don't like it.

We got this one for about $20 from a discount store, and it's working out okay. The nicer ones use a small fan to produce sound instead of a speaker and seem to run $50$100. This is the only mechanical one I have any experience with, and I would've gotten it if I'd found it sooner.
