Audio disappointment

I got this wild hair up my ass and decided to rearrange things in the home. Well, not really rearrange things. More like use the equipment I got. So, I got this 32" Sony TV. No, it's not HD and it's a CRT so don't be envious. Had this thing for a while and it works fine. I also got this Aiwa stereo system (don't bother making fun of me, I bought it a long time ago). So I look on the back of the stereo and I noticed an optical plug! I was so overjoyed with the thought of using my 360's digital audio. Then I got to looking at it and it was an output, not an input. Dammit! Ah well...At least it'll be in stereo instead of using the speakers on the TV. All in all, it worked out OK. It's not a huge difference, but it deffinately sounds better.

Wish I had the money to buy a new receiver and speaker set up. I'm almost tempted to get one with a CD or DVD changer. That would be freakin' sweet. My wife would kill me though. Maybe she'll let me buy one after I sell my PS3 on eBay (yes...I'm one of those bastards)!
