How I Accidentally Bought a TV


By Alceste
Dear Diary:
Today, as per my usual habit, I went to amazon.com, to gaze longingly at my current dream TV. (It is, after all, That Time of the Year.) Much to my suprise/horror/glee, a message awaited me that my tv was ready and would be shipped to me shortly.
What???
(Flashback - 24 hours ago. As per my usual habit, I went to amazon.com, to gaze longingly at my current dream TV. And, wouldn't you know? They lowered the price again. Of course, the website informed me that they wouldn't have any TVs ready to ship for weeks, so, what the heck ... I clicked "buy", thinking how clever I was to reserve a TV at such a cheap price, and I had weeks to come to my senses and realize that I really didn't need a fourth TV ...)
Flashforward to the present.
What???
Somehow, some time between yesterday and today, amazon.com had come up with a TV ... just ... for ... me. And they were shipping it. NOW! Not next month, not next week, but NOW!!!
Ooops.
Note to self: Rip up credit cards. Immediately. And try to find a way to hide a 50" TV from Dawn 2 ...

Dear Dawn 2: I knew that your association with me would turn you into a misanthrope. Little did I suspect that you would start hating me too. Sigh...

Perhaps, but the post leaves it somewhat unclear as to who is actually blogging...

Yes, there is a TV. No, Alceste does not keep a diary (in fact, he cannot even keep up a blog). Dawn 2 is crazy and intentionally trying to confuse people...
