baby did a bad bad thing
But it felt so good.
What fun is waiting for Christmas?
Best Buy was having a killer sale - a $2100 TV for $1700, and we've been talking about getting one for a few weeks now, and we figured why not, and I got a Best Buy card so we can pay it off within 18 months without interest, and you know you're all jealous.
It's a Sony, 40" LCD HDTV, and that's all I know about it. We were going to get plasma because it was a couple hundred bucks cheaper but LCD works better with the computer.
AND we hooked up the cable and we get basic, so FREE TV WOO! I know we get ABC and NBC, hopefully the CW is on there somewhere. Also, we can hook up the computer to the TV (hence the LCD over plasma), which is very convenient since Adam's computer is a Media Center and there are a ton of shows already saved on it as it's been acting as the TV until now. But anything I download (coughBSGcough) we can watch on the BIG SCREEN. Also, we need to get a stand for it as that table isn't gonna cut it. That's the beer pong table, btw. That's how enormous this thing is.
Looooooove it. We broke it in watching The Empire Strikes Back last night. It was amazing. Well worth the two hours we spent in Best Buy narrowing down what exactly we wanted. The only sour moment of the night was when I went to grab Entourage Season 2. It was like something out of a movie - this guy was walking down the opposite side of the aisle and got there a second before I did and snatched the last copy. I wanted to kick him in the shins! Jerk. Actually, the person I wanted to kick was the saleman I asked when I went in earlier in the day, who said it was no longer on sale. And then I got home and checked online and it still was, so it was his fault too. Oh well, I ordered it and will go pick it up today.
Umm...I need to start working. ASAP. But whatever, it's all been coming out of the moving fund. I'm fine. I just kinda feel like I'm putting all my eggs in one basket with this job, I really hope it works out. I went downtown yesterday and got a new outfit at H&M (with a gift certificate from last Christmas, at least) specifically for work and then went to Forever 21 but didn't buy anything because I don't want to stock up on clothes and then be out of a job or something. Oh well, only one more week and then hopefully I'll be making $$ again.
Also, been doing a bunch of Christmas shopping...so far my parents are done, one of my uncles is done, and one of my aunts is done. So that leaves my other aunt and my grandma, but I think I know what I'm getting them. And my sister has to tell me what she wants. And I have Adam's too. Ack. This has been an expensive month!
I've been cleaning and moving stuff around since Adam left at 6 this morning, but I put a bunch of stuff, boxes and things, in the other room so the bedroom is now much airier. I have to tackle the dishes next, and hit the gym. My uncle is flying into O'Hare and has a 2 hour layover, I'm debating about whether I'm gonna go meet him. I should have checked the flight earlier, and then gone to the gym instead of drooling over the TV.
Finally, a few Halloween pictures behind the cut for those who can't see them on facebook. Can people not on facebook see albums on the site? I don't even knw.
Krystal and myself slutting it up out at the bar. I sorta remember this being taken.
Anna, Krystal and I. Anna was a burrito. It was awesome. I also sorta remember this being taken.
I remember grabbing Adam but don't remember taking the picture, but I love it. I look like I'm about to go do naughty things to Wolverine.

But good move on getting the LCD over Plasma. The Plasma is much more fragile and only has a life expectancy of 6 years.
Damn! 40 inches? I've only got 27. I feel quite inferior. It's like standing next to Patrick from Coupling at a Urinal.

Sorry about dishing out on you last night, Anna and Julia were over and we all had too much wine and then I passed out.

Yeah, I'm happy with the LCD. We were going to get the plasma but the salesman talked us into LCD, I didn't know that about plasma either so now I'm really glad we didn't buy it.
Patrick reference for the win!

Best Buy Sales = AWESOME. I just didn't feel like getting up at 3am to really participate.
And good luck with the job. ;)

Dude, I heard a salesman talking about how there were people lined up at 5pm on Thanksgiving day for the 5am sale the next morning! And that the line stretched all the way down the block and was 10 wide. There was a huge TV on sale that they all wanted. Craziness!
Thanks! I keep having anxiety attacks about it...weird. I hope it goes okay!
