The Monolith from 2001 Has Landed in Our Den

Dale and I got ourselves a Christmas present that was delivered this last Sunday morning—a 57” widescreen Hitachi HD television. It’s the size of our entire old entertainment unit! All day Sunday it loomed in our den, casting a long shadow over everything.

But watching the first part of The Fellowship of the Ring on it with Jonathan (NOT the battle scene but the introduction to the Shire, Frodo, Gandalf, and Bilbo Baggins at home in Bag-End) was awfully cool. It’s like having a movie screen right in our own room! Perhaps we’ll start charging admission… We’ve watched a movie each of the last two nights (Apt Pupil and Gods and Monsters).

Are still considering exchanging it for a 43” (which would stick out 6 fewer inches into the room), but this big one is sure growing on us. Perhaps we could get used to having a monolith in the den.
