It's like King Midas, but in reverse...
Allow me to fill you in on my August thus far.
Saturday, August 5 - My sofa arrives. Finally. Except its the wrong pattern. I ordered this one.
What they delivered was in the same colors, but with concentric rectangles. I like the pattern. I just wish the rest of my furniture had showed up with the sofa. But that's a whole 'nother post.
Monday, August 7 - My sofa breaks. While I'm laying on it. Actually "explodes" is probably a better term. Two pieces (the main cross beam and the back of the frame) that had been in tension suddenly let go. W/ a bang. That shook the whole sofa. While I was on it.
Wednesday, August 9 - Flat tire. Flat tires are a normal, everyday occurance. But w/ me, they're more like a ritual. This is my third flat tire in 5 years. With 3 different cars. Always the right rear tire. Always a gaping whole in the edge of the tread/sidewall (shoulder). Always means I need a new tire.
Saturday, August 19 - My tv craps out. My beautiful, 32", Sharp Aquos LCD just shuts off. Two green lights start blinking at me. In a pattern of threes. I fumble around w/ the reset switches in the back. TV comes back on. I hear sound. The remote works. The screen does not. Just a black screen. The screen kinda lights up (the backlight is on) but there is no picture. Not even the built in menus. Nothing. But a black screen.

Dude, you totally broke your couch haha. Maybe it's time to hit the elliptical or walk off the fat. ;) Kidding aside, that does suck major balls with all your stuff crapping out on you. Good thing you got that performance service plan on the TV. Smart move.
