This is the title card I have affixed on the side of my new apartment, on the third floor of the fourth building on the Eastside of VU Island.
Here's a basic idea of my refined story, filmed in here:

• Jacques purchases a new TV.
• Enters his apartment and turns on the lights.
• Opens the antenna box and puts it on the table.
• Opens the TV box and puts on the table also.
• Fails to recognise that the TV is facing away from him, then corrects it.
• Gets out the instructions and reads them.
• Gets out the electrical plug, not wired to the TV, then plugs it in.
• Tries to turn on the TV, to no avail then hits the TV.
• He has difficulty setting it up because it goes to static every time he faces it.
• Reads the instructions, then realises he must put the power cord into the plug.
• Screws in the wire, plugs it back in, then turns the TV on.
• Grabs a seat then starts watching static.
• Reads in the instructions again, then realises he must plug the antenna in the TV.
• Waves the antenna around the room.
• Steps out of the room with the antenna, still waving it around.
• Returns, then puts down the antenna in frustration.
• Ducks down, then the TV transmission starts working.
• Gets back up, then the transmission breaks.
• Ducks again and the transmission returns.
• Grabs his seat, the transmission breaks, takes it to the side, the transmission returns.
• Moves his head towards the TV and the transmission breaks again.
• Moves back, transmission returns, jumps towards TV, transmission breaks.
• Returns to seat, gets an idea, rotates the TV in his direction, no transmission.
• Rotates back, then slowly crawls toward the TV.
• Turns his head, transmission breaks.
• Frustrated, he removes his jacket, then tie.
• Takes off his shirt then puts it on the seat, affixing his tie and jacket in a similar fashion.
• Takes off his shoes and socks, still no transmission.
• Frustrated, he contemplates removing his pants, but stops and closes the blinds and door.
• Proceeds to take his pants off, then waves them at the TV.
• Affixes the pants and shoes on the seat, zipping up the fly.
• Contemplates removing his underwear, but stops and makes sure the blinds are closed.
• Grabs the TV box, opens it up, then hops in.
• Removes his underwear, pops it into the pants, then transmission returns.
• Grabs another seat and starts to watch TV…
• …and then the power goes out!
My only problem with this is figuring out how to apply all this Second Life!
