Black Friday

Even though we were in Vegas over Thanksgiving, tradition had to be continued. So, Karl, Jon, and I woke up at 3:30am and ventured to wait in extremely long lines and deal with chaotic crowds. Fun stuff. While we weren't out for anything huge, we did score some pretty neat stuff. I came home with 100 DVD-R's (that should last a while), 50 Cd-R's, a 2GB flash drive with U3, and a few other Christmas items that would not be in my best interest to mention here. In all, despite running on three hours of sleep, it was pretty awesome, as usual.

Thanksgiving was great; there we're 15 of us at my Uncle's house and we ate a lot of good food. The tomato jello thing wasn't my favorite, but otherwise the food was great and it was nice to spend a great Turkey Day with family. And yes, that's our turkey.

I mentioned above that my new flash drive supported U3. While I always knew this technology existed, I never realized how cool it is. You can customize applications on the drive, so when you plug it into any system that system basically becomes your custom system. Very nice.

Too bad no stores had this mega-monitor on sale Friday. I could definitely go for one of those suckers.

Hungary? Make a sandwich. Oh, wait... sorry, you can't do that. At least you can't if McDonald's gets their way and puts a patent on the sandwich and, more specifically, the "simultaneous toasting of a bread component." I'm sorry, but that is absurd. One more reason to boycott McDonald's.

This has to be one of the most amazing basketball baskets ever made. That thing seems to defy the laws of physics. One word: wow.

Compliments of my Uncle, here is a comedy on airline pilots. Pretty funny stuff. Scary thing is, I can somewhat see him acting like that.

Well, that's all for now. I'm going to go try and figure out why I'm getting a rash from a fake Christmas tree.

Perhaps you're getting a rash because you're allergic to the tree?
Has the tree been in storage for a while? I got one from my tree two years ago because I pulled it from the attic in my old house (all on my own-a miraculous feat,) and my tree was sitting on that puffy yellow cotton-candy-like insulation that causes extensive itching. Which lead to a rash. Sometimes dust causes rashes too. If the tree has the crappy branch imitators, then the plastic might have a component in the ingredient that caused a rash. Like lead.
Lead would be bad, it could lead to poisoning. Oh, the wonders of the English language: lead, lead.
At least it's not Spanish though.

...I had something more productive to say, but - as always - I have forgotten.
I think I was going to complain. Yes, I was. Okay..
Why!! Did you have to make it so that comments can only be posted if one is publishing?! I like to remain anonymous. Now, I can't. I left like, two?, other comments anonymously and I bet you still haven't figured out they were from me yet. Now you have; regardless, I like to remain anonymous, and now that I can't, I'm afraid I'll have to let you live and not kill you.

Cheers,

Let's see if I can reply to three of these things in one comment...

I'll look into the tree thing. I don't think I'm exactly allergic, but thanks for the idea/analysis anyway.

I'm glad my car started working too. It was quite cold and miserable out there. And I turned funny colors. Fun stuff.

See you folks tomorrow-

Ummm...Clark, I wanted to get linux but im not really sure which website is the best linux for me. I read what linux is and i think it would be really useful. The thing is that the website had different variations for linux and it thoroughly confused me. Where could i create an account? And is it free?
