The Plasma That Could Potentially Kill Me

I’ve been feeling like crap this week because of my wonderful (horrible) brother and Indy has been doing his best to cheer me up and get me back to my normal self. Last night, when we got home from seeing Uh Huh Her at the Roxy with a few Uh Huh Her crazy friends, Indy started acting suspicious.

I wondered why he was acting funny but he did his best not to look me in the eye. When he finally did, it was in the elevator and he started laughing. I started thinking that maybe he was laughing at me or something stupid I might’ve done (sometimes I have blonde moments and don’t even notice). When we got to our door, Indy stopped and started laughing hysterically. I poked at him and asked him why he was laughing at me. Indy told me he wasn’t laughing at me but he had something to show me and I’d probably start laughing when I saw it too.

We got inside and then he stopped me before I went to the second floor (hooray again for loft upgrades). Indy explained that on the way home from work he wanted to get something to cheer me up and ended up going to Best Buy (immediately I knew what he was getting at). He went on saying that he saw a really nice TV and thought it would be a really nice TV for us to have. He explained it was a bit pricey but that it didn’t matter because he thought it would be I nice thing for us to have (he kept repeating himself so I knew it really was pricey). Then Indy said that it was a plasma and he figured that if he got a plasma he might as well get a big one so it would be more enjoyable.

By this point, I knew why he had been laughing. “How big is it?” Indy started laughing then kept explaining his buying process at Best Buy. He said that he basically just told the guy he wanted the biggest TV they had of the one he liked and didn’t even bother asking to looking at it. The first time he saw how big it was when he the guy brought it out to put it in his car (he was laughing so hard that he could hardly talk). I turned and went upstairs to see how big it was. He ran after me and told me that it was still in the box and he hadn’t had the chance to take it out and set it up yet.

The first thing I saw when I got to the top of the stairs was a giant box that was bigger than me. I heard Indy laughing behind me and he laughed even harder when I went up to it. He was laughing because the box was bigger than me by almost a foot. By now he was leaned over the couch and it seemed like he was laughing so hard that he could hardly breathe. I turned my head and read what was on the box “Panasonic 65’’ 1080p Flat-Panel Plasma HDTV”. He had gotten a giant plasma that was bigger than me. “How much?” He kept saying it didn’t matter because it was something he had always wanted to get and was glad he finally had a chance to get one and share it with me.

So, now Indy and a friend of his are trying to figure out how they’re going to set it up and if the giant thing will fall down and kill us if there is an earthquake. It very well might. I know for sure if that thing fell on me it would most likely kill me because it kind of scares me. Until it is securely set up, I am staying away from it because I think from a ridiculously huge plasma falling on me would be funny and I don’t want people laughing at me at my funeral.
