My 9-year-old TV, a 30" Sony Wega-series CRT has to go. It is so old-fashioned and out-of-date, that I have been offering it for free to anybody who'd pick it up and nobody will take it.

My idea is to consolidate my computer and TV, getting my desktop PC out of the bedroom. I might also upgrade the PC. Or components on my existing PC, which seems to be working just fine (thinking big-ass solid state drive). Maybe a more modern video card.

Yeah, that's the ticket.

This is another unforeseen consequence of my current decision to hang out here in Syracuse for a while longer.

Ever since I made that decision... Nothing has actually changed, except that I've re-focused my planning to near-term.

In related internal dialogue news, I'm still feeling like I have too much stuff. It seems like most of my living space not used for sleeping or sitting is storage space - shelves, everywhere, and even then, my apartment's extra storage space is nearly full. That has to change.

I'm not feeling 'trapped' by my possessions, so much as encumbered by them. I have a lot of stuff I don't use, even though almost everything I have is useful. But, even while my living condition is static, I feel like there's just too much of what I have that is not being used or is under-utilized.

We'll see how far the inertia goes, but the first step, since it is how I spend a lot of non-playing time at home, is an upgrade to the TV-computer situation (btw, it accomplishes both objectives, since it will eliminate a monitor and some associated PC furniture).

As always when I think about anything after now... no now... no now... We'll see.
