Why don't you just make up your mind?

Hello, and welcome to this Black Friday!  I can't believe all the people who have been camping out, sometimes literally since the past Monday!  What in the hell are you people thinking?  What is really so important to you that you will stand in line for 5 days to buy?  I'm just saying, if you do the math, the money you're missing out on with the time you're taking off is probably WAY more than the amount you're saving in these stupid sales.  And if the reason you're able to stand in these lines is that you're unemployed, then, well, I'm sure that I can come up with a butt-load of things that would probably be better uses of your unemployment check!  Come on, people, show some restraint!

Yeah, so I'm offa my soapbox now.  I'm actually in a pretty good mood - I just had some time to relax today, so I looked for a few jobs, but then, all of a sudden, I found out that there was college football on TV!  I didn't even think about it!  I found out about halfway through the first half of the Alabama-Auburn game (which Auburn finally came out and won!) and then, switching around, found out that the Colorado-Nebraska game was on.  Man, was I rooting hard for Colorado!  If they would have won, Mizzou would have had the chance to win the Big 12 North title.  No such luck, though - Nebraska just won. Oh, well.  Here's to hoping that they play OU in the Big 12 title game (and that OU beats them)!

Anyway, I just kinda relaxed today, surfed the net, and watched a scary movie: the remake of "A Nightmare On Elm Street".  I really enjoyed it, actually.  I always thought that the original was pretty darned scary, but this one explained a little bit more of the back-story, and was a little darker - less of the Robert Englund-style "Freddy Krueger", who was constantly cracking jokes, eventually kinda becoming a vaudeville act!  I will always have a special place in my heart for the original, but this one was pretty darned creepy!

Anyway, Ma is up this weekend to see baby Savannah (Erica's little girl), and so I'm gonna go meet them over at Ted Drewes - what better place, huh?

Tonight's stroke is really nothing to do with any of this, except maybe for the whole "Black Friday" thing.  Yup, it's black.  Who says I don't have any imagination?
