The last time I was in front of a TV in a public place was at some non-descript exhibition where the exhibitor was showing off his sound system by playing The Eagles - Hell Freezes Over DVD. Last time before today that is, when the Bloggs went en famille to a large PTA function at a nearby hall. Getting around on crutches in a crowded room is still a bit much, so I sat myself down in front of a TV to watch a riveting discussion on normalisation. Unfortunately, the sound was turned down so low I didn't catch quite what it was they were trying to normalise. My train of thought started to wander and settled on that Eagles DVD. Eventually, feeling anything but normal, I decided to battle through the crowds and take a look at the flea market section. Japanese flea markets hold but one interest for me and that is CDs/DVDs. You can pick up some real bargains. I think you can guess the rest of the story. What were the chances of me finding that particular DVD on sale and at a mere US$4.50 (£3)? I'm off to buy a lottery ticket. (Oh, and now you know my real age!)
Later: I'm glad I only paid ¥500 for it - though Joe Walsh is still a guitar hero!
