I don't know about you guys, but I've had it with super-strong little women who aren't me.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Why did I not read the manpain chart before? That is fucking brilliant, I tell you!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

People were lining up at the Best Buy in Pentagon City last night when DH walked my brother back to the Metro station at about 8:30. Crazycakes! I hope they got some cheap TVs - it was cooooold last night.

We spent the morning down on the Mall at the Natural History Museum and then Dylan rode the carousel. Afternoon has been spent inside as it is way too cold to go out.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

One way to avoid spending money on Black Friday...misplace your debit card.

I keep waffling on buying a 32G iPod Touch. MacMall has it at an excellent price, with a handful of free (after rebate) accessories.

But I keep telling myself, "Well, I don't NEED it...", which is true.

Bah. I'm a waffler.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm a waffler.

There's an app for that.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Steph, I don't need this Quiznos sandwich I'm eating right now, or this Coke. I could be eating lettuce and drinking water.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I went to Best Buy with my sister and father. My sister bought a camera, and I looked at netbooks but both of the ones I liked were sold out. The store was nowhere near as full as I expected -- the parking lot for that shopping center had a whole bunch of empty spaces.

I'm a waffler too, Steph. I want an iTouch bad, but it's hard for me to justify right now. I don't need it--really, does anyone need an iTouch?--but I want it.

hip deep in pie

Do eeeet, Steph! (And Burrell!)

I just got back from a craft sale. Bought fudge,a handmade wooden spoon and petite little french rolling pin, and a beeswax candle. All for me. (So goes my Xmas shopping.) I also had a red velvet cupcake, the first red velvet anything I have ever had.

But see... if we are talking desired electronics, a GPS is more useful than an iTouch, and a Wii for the family would provide more entertainment value. And there's no way we are going to buy all 3 of them this season.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I am back! I did a lot of shopping, though only a small portion was actual Black Friday shopping; there was a fair bit of "Well, I'm out of the house, let's buy stuff."

My Black Friday victory? Western Digital 1 TB external hard drive for $60 from Target. I called the Target closest to me a little after 9, and they were all out, so I called the next closest, and they wouldn't answer, so I called the next one, and they had two left, so I drove up there as fast as I could and snagged the very last one. Minutes later, a guy came by looking for one to exchange for his, which was defective, but I had just taken his prize. I hope it's not defective.
