Hello all!
Yesterday was Thanksgiving and I've noticed more and more that Black Friday is slowly encroaching on our day of thanks. Initially, midnight door busters were the earliest you could get your grubby little hands on the newest deals. This year, though, it seemed like the party got started a lot earlier, like 8pm. Kiiiiiind of depressing to think that a day we're supposed to reserve for giving thanks for all that's good in our lives, we are instead being greedy and materialistic. That's why I'm gonna start calling Black Friday Material Debauchery Day! A little more apropos, I think.
What's hilarious is that this was my first Material Debauchery Day where I wasn't working and could go frolic and throw my money at people in exchange for crap. It was a pretty reserved expedition all things considered and I ended up becoming exhausted within two hours. There is nothing more scary than being 6 feet tall, able to look over the heads of everyone around you, and then panic because you realize how vast the sea of people really is. It is mentally fucking exhausting. I did hit up Hot Topic for their $10 tshirt sale and Typo for some cool desk stuff for work before going to the Haight and looked around a bit. BTW nothing is creepier than a weird short guy wearing a My Little Pwny shirt, with more of said shirts in his hands, who begins following you around the store trying to pretend like he's part of your 'crew'. Stranger Danger!!! Stranger Danger!!!
Now I'm sitting at home, about to finish off my 50k words for NaNo and drinking a big mug of caffeinated tea! I'm gonna go off to write now, wish me luck!
