The Streets of Laredo

As I walked out in the streets of Laredo
As I walked out in Laredo one day
I spied a poor DVD Player wrapped up in white linen
All wrapped in white linen as cold as the clay…

In the original song, the DVD player, er, cowboy dies and they march him off to his burial. Okay, so I just butchered a famous American folk song to begin the story of my very broken DVD player, that is now back in my arms and no longer wrapped in white linen (read: bubble wrap). I am a very happy camper.

I had to send it off to Laredo, Texas (see there was a connection!) to the Sony Warranty Center for repair. I suffered through a long week and a half (which was really a lot quicker than I thought it would be) wait, with Netflix discs lying, forlornly, on the table next to the television. And now I have had the DVD player back for 3 days, and I haven’t touched it, save for the test with Il Postino, to make sure it was working. The irony of it all! Okay, not very ironic, really.

So, that was my attempt at being funny, and it wasn’t, so you can go back to reading more interesting blogs now. Thank you for tuning in.
