Merry Shopping!

Sat Dec 10, 2005 22:07 (UTC -5)

I went Christmas shopping yesterday and today. I never like shopping for gifts, but it’s tolerable when I have an idea of what to get someone and then I find the perfect thing. Except there are always the doubts that they have it already or that someone else is going to give it to them… but that’s what receipts are for.

The malls are really crowded, of course, and that’s what I hate also. Whenever I’m in a crowded place like a mall, I have a feeling that some cool guys are going to come up and pick a fight with me. “I don’t want any trouble,” I practice saying to myself. I also have a feeling that everyone is pointing and laughing at how I look, especially when I do something stupid like fumble with my wallet or drop my change. It’s true.

I have most of my shopping done, but I still have a few more gifts to buy. I’ll have to do that tomorrow, or maybe next weekend. It’s going to be a long, busy week.

What do you get when you perform Christmas carols in the style of Jewish music? Oy to the World! Be sure to listen to the title track — it’ll have your toes a-tappin’.

Peter Jackson’s film King Kong is set for general release on December 14. King Kong: Business Monkey is a King-Kong-sized list of promotional tie-ins for the movie.

One year ago: “People annoy me. I never want to be a person.”

Don’t worry; you’re just paranoid. I think everyone has that a little bit. Except for those guys who read my comments and laugh at them because…

I was trying to avoid that word. Thanks, Mischka.
