Jon and Emily, friends of Brian and mine from dental school, were interviewed in an article in yesterday's USA Today on big-screen televisions and the space they take up in rooms, and how people have to arrange a room around them. I remember that Jon told Emily he wanted the TV before they left Boston to move back to Houston, and I remember her saying, No. She and I were a united front: no big TV for Jon, no puppy for Brian. Here's the excerpt:
More sighing goes on in the Houston one-bedroom apartment of Jonathan and Emily Lepow, where a 57-inch TV has been dominating since October.
"When you're in the store, they're all so big, it didn't really look huge," says Jonathan, 26.
But once he squeezed it into the living room, "It was definitely shock and awe. Even I said, 'That is a lot bigger than I thought.'"
Emily, 27, was not thrilled about having to lose a chair and a coffee table to fit the TV. But "he was cunning and convincing."
He also gave her a diamond necklace.
So she gave in. Huh. Well, if a diamond necklace comes with the puppy...
