11/28/03-potentially bad decision made by greg massi

[Baliset]

i need to do some shopping today and i have decided to brave the malls and all the post-thanksgiving craziness!

 

[lizard]

don't do it! for god's sake, man!

 

[kleo706]

I tend to do my shopping when classes end... which gives me all of one week.

 

[Baliset]

well first up on my list is a new belt because my pants are falling down like crazy and i don't want to get myself arrested for public lewd-ity.

secondly, i need to get myself a new discman for the plane on monday.

thirdly, i need birthday presents for my sisters and we are celebrating tonight so it unfortunately cannot wait.

i love you all.

WTG? You get sales just after thnkzgvn??? Surely the money men would want to keep the prices up for Christmas shopping? Is there a 1 day sale after thanksgiving or something?

 

[lizard]

man, the friday after thanksgiving is completely nuts about sales. I was just talking to a woman who's husband is a shipping/receiving supervisor for a department store. He had to be at work at 330 in the morning because his store was opening at 530 in the morning!

and he said there were already 75-100 people lined up outside in the rain.

we went out at 8am today. i thought the stores were committing false advertisements (stores opened at like 5 and 6am and everything was gone).

I read an article by a fitness trainer who was advocating things like:

1. wear comfortable shoes

2. take walkie talkies to communicate with family members/friends you go shopping with

3. eat a hearty breakfast with plenty of vitamin C

4. women should take a light bag to lessen their load

5. men should take earmuffs, a flask, and a tranquilizer gun

 

[lizard]

excellent! yes, all worthy additions.

I took my dog on a nice hike (didn't see a soul) and am not looking forward to the hour-long drive to the brother-in-law's house for dinner.

 

[goatschool]

greg, this[/url ] was all you needed to do.

 

[goatschool]

fuck that, i'm not even gonna fix it

 

[Baliset]

i am alive and well and all three objectives were achieved with minimal traffic issues. of course my sisters are getting kind of lame presents because i just didn't have the first clue what to get them. border's gift certificates for everyone!

i also have to admit that my trip to the mall was also a secondary operation to see if i would run into anyone i knew.

I'm not really sure what to get people either. It's weird being single cause now I'll have a bigger budget for everyone but the previous significant other... I think I'm still gonna get her a book or something, though.
