the anti-social monitor

i have a trusty big-assed (yeah i know, there’s lots of big-assed stuff around) philips monitor which i love. i adore the colours coming from it, cos it’s shows rich and dark colours. until i noticed that everything is about two shades lighter on normal monitors.

i’ve adjusted the brightness and contrast levels to the maximum, and there’s nothing else i can do. it irks me to see my own blog on other monitors, cos all the colours seem washed out or overexposed. believe me, the cookies on the right column look like rich chocolate cookies baked to a yummy-looking colour, and the photos that i post look so much better on my own monitor. and i do try to lighten everything by two shades, but sometimes it’s just not possible, or i just forget.

someday when i’m rich i’ll get a flat-assed monitor with normal colours. i wish the school will have a write-off sale soon so that i can look out for any of those monitors. i know there should be some cos they changed the entire library’s collection of monitors. i hope i didn’t miss any write-off sales.

or maybe those flat-assed monitors’ prices will plunge soon.

i’m hoping, i am.

the big-assed one!

the new tv is coming today! wheeeeee!

it’s a kick-ass 42-inch lcd tv!! wheeeeeeee!

i feel so happy. i hope it arrives before i leave for tuition class.

i hope i spend the second half of the day preparing for tomorrow’s paper, not watching tv.

 

by the way, the attempt to quit that kid failed. a miserable operation failure. i hate talking to grown-ups. instead of sounding like a professional tutor who thinks that the kid might perform better under another tutor, the parent made it sound like she’s coaxing a child throwing tantrums (me) into resuming lessons.
