Post of the Day

Not a lot has been happening. Wednsday was bland and boring. Yesterday was Thanksgiving. It was pretty decent, had some turkey. I also saw the new Elf movie, which is pretty funny. It was good, but not great. Definitely worth seeing.

Today was very interesting. OK, so today was "Black Friday", the day after Thanksgiving when they have the first Christmas sales of the year. Best Buy had a crap load of amazing stuff. They had an 120 gig hard drive for $50 dollars, a 4x multi-platform DVD burner for $80, an 120MB MP3 player for $40 dollars, and a crap load of other amazing deals. This meant going early in the morning to get this stuff. It is a two person job, and my mom didn't really feel up to doing it, so I went along with it. So I wake up at 4:00 A.M. I get my clothes on and head out the door with my dad. We arrive at Best Buy at right about 4:15, and to my amazement, there are already at least 40 people in line. My dad goes up and waits in line while I fit in the car. Then about a half an hour before it opens, they opened at 6, I go up and wait with him. By then, there is about another 120-175 more people in the back of the line. Once they open the doors, it is a mad rush to the computer area. My dad grabs the MP3 player while I am trying to find a way to the DVD burner. Once I get to it, it is already sold out. We quickly head to the check out to get going to our next store. Some employee gives me crap about walking over a taped line that has no people in it. I say "thank you" as I walk past him. We ended up getting everything we were trying to get, after going to a couple of other stores.

Tonight I went to Dragon's Table, and helped Robbie test for the JSS tomorrow. Robbie and Nathan will be going to the JSS tomorrow in Jacksonville, IL. Good luck guys!! Robbie will be playing my affinity, and Nathan will be playing astral slide. Jacksonville is an easy area so one of them should do pretty good.

Tomorrow is the type one at the Dragon's Table. I will be there. It should be fun. Well I am getting tired, so until later
