The word that describes the expression on the faces of some coworkers when I tell them I have only one TV.

How many am I supposed to have?

One seems perfectly sensible to me. Mine -- my one TV -- is in my living room/media room/library/thing. I don't believe -- and never have -- that a TV belonged anywhere else in the house. (Why in God's name put one in the bedroom? There are so many other, more interesting things to do in there! And why in a kid's room? The kid's got homework to do, sleeping, reading, and creating to do!) More than one is conspicuous consumerism.

But then, I suspect that your coworkers are of a different tribe than your writer-peep community. It's just a different culture.

Writer-peeps might outdo my coworkers with regard computers/laptops etc, given that we're so back-up conscious. But friends with kids have more than one computer as well.

I was told that my new TV wasn't big enough. It's 32". I was supposed to buy a 50". With Blu-Ray.
