Black Friday’d
So my 9 hour Black Friday shift is complete. Exciting, isn’t it? I even wore proper footwear so that my ankle isn’t COMPLETELY shot like it normally is. I might not limp much tomorrow! Yay!
But yeah, even though this is over, next week is going to test my endurance… I have work constantly and I need to keep my spirits high enough to get a paper written and turned in… it’ll be intense. I’ll hope for the best.
Man, I still haven’t written about Rune Factory yet, have I? I suck like that. I also should probably write about Mass Effect at some point, as that’s been my current timesink… and it’s drawn Jonathan in, too. It’s interesting to watch him play, because unlike me he hates the long conversations, and will be an ass to get out of them quicker and start shooting people. It certainly makes the game feel a lot different from my “complete a mission, then spend the good part of an hour talking to everyone on the Normandy” style that I experience. But that’s later… I should just sit down and write bulk review-impressions tomorrow… if you’re someone whose inclined to, make me do that.
Anyway, I guess since the Chrissymas Shopping Season has offically begun, and you’re no longer a complete tool for having Chrissymas decorations up and stuff, I should start my stupid yearly CHRISTMAS GIFT BUYING CHECKLIST. So here we go.
Mom: Half Check (Conceptualized but not bought due to potential complications)
Dad: No Check
Jonathan: No Check
Grandma: No Check
Grandpa: Half Check (Got a good idea, if nobody else uses it)
Brer: No Check
Friends Gift Exchange 1: No Check
Friends Gift Exchange 2: No Check (Don’t even know if we’re doing it, much less who I have)
Talking Time Festivus: No Check (Don’t know who I have for this either. Come on, Rei, get on the ball!)
Hmm… I have a decent bit to buy this year… and also maybe Chrissymas cards for Kale and Ecks, if I get off my ass…
