Eve

'twas the night before xmas and all up in this ma', bud and christin were watching buffy and it was good times. the end, amen. today was day three of retail hell, beginning with an oh-so-lovely three plus hours of the system being completely down. once it went up, things were still frustrating and annoying, with lots of bugs like credit going up/down and returns being unavailable and debit not working, but i survived the day. annoyances, mostly, but nothing as bad as monday or wednesday for sure. the crowds were a bit less, and once things got going, time seemed to pass quickly.

so i've never really been too into the holiday season, ever since i got past the super-excited-about-xmas-phase of my life [a.k.a. when i turned 18 or so], but tomorrow i have to be. i'm here now, on the east coast, and christin's family is all about it. i'll do fine. ;-P it's not like i'm faking it, it is a nice time of year and such, i just come from a family that doesn't go all out and hasn't in a long time. now i'm with a family that is practically the opposite. christin is making me a big turkey breast, which should be magnificent. wait, what? magnificent? really?

aside from the work and the buffy, i managed to get what little shopping i had done today, which consisted of purchasing a snow shovel, cat litter, and a small gift for christin. also, i found the blu-ray she bought me [zombieland] for half the price she paid at best buy when i was shopping, so that's a plus. gonna return the other one. what can i say? i'm a saver, born and raised. when you are as poor as we are, you kind of have to be, and i fill the role well enough. anyway, it's now time for bed, as i'm dead tired from work, but tomorrow should be eventful enough for an interesting blog. here's hoping!
