black behind us
Thanksgiving and Black Friday have now passed. Today we enter that time of year when compulsory merriment is the order of the day, and more and more people manage to make the phrase “Merry Christmas” sound a lot more like “F**K YOU!” than anything else.
<sarcasm>This, my friends, is my favorite time of year.</sarcasm>
As for me, I went to the grocery store and took the kids to the zoo yesterday, both mostly empty, which was nice. While seemingly everyone else in the world braved death by trampling over cut rate 720p HTDVs, I refilled the freezer, petted a giraffe, and watched the cavorting of a couple of five month old baby tigers.
I’d say that I had the better day.
I will admit that I spent $39.99 on a Black Friday deal, though I did it from my desk chair and a couple of mouse clicks. I win again.
Today, though, I’m mostly worried about whether it’s safe to head over to Target, because I need cat food, and they have the best price on the shampoo I like.
