Picked up my glasses today. Finally got the right prescription lenses put in them. For the first time since I think 2004 I can actually see 20/20.
Replacement HDTV/Monitor arrived on time. It's a Samsung P2370HD, which is the result of my going overboard with "fixing" the missing HDMI issue on my last attempt. This one's got HDMI, DVI, VGA, Composite, Component, and even fucking Coaxial inputs. I could conceivably hook up a PS3, two computers, a Wii, a PS2, and a god damn NES to the thing all at once.
And as a bonus, my FightStick TE courtesy of Envy arrived about the same time, a week earlier than expected. Unfortunately he only dumped the thing on account of incompatibility with his PS3, so I can't express my gratitude by punching him in the face with it.
So today I get to play some SF4 the right way, on a shiny new HDTV, and actually see the goddam thing.
