This "vacation" has been such a huge mess

Ok, so i decided to go to my alleged sister's place for a couple months - because she would pay me to do so (and i have nothing else going on).  Last time i was there things were different.  i extrapolated my expected experiences from that.  However, what i found has been somewhat different.  Where my computer is located is giving me sore hands too.  Oh, there is no possible way the fence can be fixed, if it could hold a dog it would need to be completely replaced.  Maybe thing can improve.

Basically, last time i stayed in a guest room that had a cable connection and a TV.  Ok that may be the minimum i thought i needed.  However, i get there and her son now has the previous guest room.  The room i get has no TV and no cable jack (though it does have an insane number of plugs).  Without a TV (with cable) and an Xbox (not arrived yet, no tv to use it with). 

So, i tried to remedy the issue with the TV by going out and buying one.  Good idea, crap results.  You see there is nothing really that close to this fricking house (like stores and the like).  i'm kind of trapped here - at least where i was i could walk to GameSpot.  Apparently she is only about a mile away from a bus stop from a worthless route.  So, i walked the approximately 2 miles to Target (in the heat) to go buy a TV (i'm not going to ask my alleged sister to take me there).  So, i found one - a 22" Samsung HDTV that had a box with character (a little smushed).  i probably should have passed that up.  So, i walk back the approximately 2 miles to my (alleged) sister's place - walking 2 miles with a 15 pound (or so box). 

i finally take the TV out of the box and get it set up.  What do i find?  i find that the screen is mostly white (when on) and i can't make out the menu items.  Then i notice that the screen seems to have an image even though the set is off.  i look online for hours to find what this problem is - i hope it was an input.  Unfortunately, it seems that the inner screen of the LCD is broken (not the outer one).  That basically means that i just wasted the vast majority of cash on a fricking paper weight. 

Now, i don't know Target's return policy on HDTVs.  They say go to their site, but it doesn't say anything (if you didn't order from their stupid site).  So, now i have an expensive paperweight that i don't know if i bought broken (or i accidentally broke it).  i don't know if i can get any money back.  i don't know how i would do that anyway - since walking would be such a pain in the posterior (and the box is open). 

No, i'm not happy now.  Shit happens, moslty to me.  i can't even buy stuff online, because i'm not sure how to even ship it here - since i am visiting (and shippers can be touchy about such things).
