Let me tell you a story.This story begins in June, when Laura gave me a TV that used to reside in her closet. Today I finally moved that TV from the doorway to the TV-supporting chest of drawers. The impetus for the move was the previous TV (as well as the cable box) being fried in a thunderstorm recently. At any rate, this TV sucks, Laura. It turns off by itself. Sometimes trying to change the channel turns it off. Sometimes the volume controls will turn it off. Sometimes I will be sitting ten feet away and it will turn off. Are there tricks?
Furthermore, the only fucking VHS tapes my mother has worth watching are of PRINCESS DIANA'S FUNERAL. I mean, wtf, do I want to watch Thelma & Louise? Backdraft? The Wizard of Oz (this may have been the better choice, in retrospect)? Beethoven? Sense & Sensibility?
So Diana's funeral it is. the fuck

She died the night I was having my only good birthday party. Sigh. All these girls came out of the pub going: Princess Diana's dead. Me: So????????????????????????????? Who cares? Let's drink!

Tips: Check to see if the power button is partially depressed. That may cause some of the random powering off. Also, do you have a universal remote to use with it? If not that might fix the problem, because it's too touchy to actually press the buttons manually.
I should've let you borrow my big TV while I am in Japan. Or the (functional) one with the loose picture tube. You can still borrow either one if you want to drag it to NY from my parents' basement.
