  • Happy Chocolate Hangover Day!

    And, I guess, normal hangovers are included…oh and Day of the Dead. No, not the movie. Anyway, regardless, you may have either drank too much alcohol, ate too much chocolate, or both. Me? I just had too much sugar while playing Guild Wars for their Halloween event. It seems ArenaNet finally got around to adding some horrifying quests for the holiday and they were a welcome addition to the festivities, which leads me to believe Wintersday may get something new as well. Hopefully.

    Anyway, aside from that, I have yet to get Windows 7 on my computer, only because, as you may have guessed, I am lazy, but I got the student upgrade which has had problem after problem after problem, but that won’t happen to me. I can’t be bothered with this stuff not working. That and MS sorta fixed it by releasing the ISOs.

    Oh, and, with it being November, not only do we get to set out clocks an hour back, I get to look forward to the Friday after thanksgiving, and the Monday after Black Friday, oh, and the first week of November! All of those days will have absolutely fantastic sales going on in stores around the states and online, and I will be poor shortly there after. Of course if it’s anything like last year, my wallet will keep warm. Or maybe it’s not just me and Black Friday is dying.

  • Black Friday, Ba Humbug!

    So today is the start of the Christm…sorry, “Holiday” shopping season. Today is the day when a lot of crap we don’t really need goes on sale and we buy it anyway because we just have that urge to store it all and never use it pass it’s week of use.

    Now, while a lot of stores had decent offers and sales, none could really compare to a market that’s been growing ever so steadily every year and that market is, the E-market. Yup, online shopping is here and it makes a lot of things oh so much easier, and cheaper too, with “e-bates” and free shipping. But that brings us to my whole “scrooge” about it.

    It lasts for a good three hours, and then everything vanishes. You’re left dazed and confused and still tired from getting up early even though you’re on your second cup of coffee, and all from getting up early as hell to check the awesome deals only to find them all gone!

    Ever been raped? No? Well you have now.
