I don't like having a small television, it really dappens the movie watching experience. Yesterday, I decided to move my TV upstairs infront of my bed. It seemed like a brilliant idea at the time. My TV would be closer and what could be better than playing Final Fantasy stretched out on my back? Or come the weekend, watch anime to rekindle that childhood Saturday morning cartoon ambiance? Up went my DVD player, playstation, television and all my movies and games (hauling my heavy stand up the steep and narrow stairway was quite the heroic feat, I might add). Several minutes later, everything was setup.

Ah, I thought as I stretched upon my bed, what a difference a few feet can make!

Something was very wrong though. As I stared at the television, my head propped on the pillow, everything seemed way off target. My once small tv was suddenly large and cumbersome, throwing off the whole relaxing element of my loft. My bed... a cloud lined in silver, a place of dreams and serene contemplation was invaded by Sony and Hollywood.

That does it. I decided without a moments hesistation. The TV shall stay downstairs once and for all.

Down the treacherous stairway went I with my heavy TV stand, movies and the rest of my electronics. My meager entertainment center is now back in the corner of my apartment where it belongs. Balance and order restored in the loft. I feel asleep early that night, relishing the warm feel of my sheets and the sound of piano playing softly. As for movies and video games in the future, I'll just have to get a bigger TV.
