Racially Neutral Friday

I did not go black Friday shopping. I thought about going to watch the madness with a detached, scientific interest, but decided that CastleVille and sleep were vastly more interesting.

I used to play real video games damn it.

I thought about going shopping for gifts, but then it dawned on me that I had no idea what Mo wanted. So I asked her. She couldn't think of anything other than "baby". I then thought to myself.

"Well Jeremy, you can always spend money on Legos. That's like a drug. But is there anything you actually want?" and to my shock, the answer was "not really."

I mean, sure I'd love and iPad, but I'm not going down that path till I see what the 3 (or 2 HD or whatever) is like. That is at least a few weeks in the future, maybe months. Who knows? Certainly not this Christmas. The new Warcraft expansion is likely to roll out Dec. or Jan. I might do that...just cause a Panderan Death Knight sounds fun.

totally awesome.

But, really. I can so live without it.

Plus, let's get real for a second. The first week of new baby is basically a survival mode of no-sleep. The 2nd and 3rd weeks (sometimes) get better. So anything I get is not likely to be remembered or enjoyed for at least a month.

I should probably get something for my nieces and nephews. My parents won't likely give a crap about anything other than seeing the grand baby.

So, I am totally into the spirit of Christmas this year. I am dying to go see lights, drink coco, eat holiday food, and watch horrid-horrid-horrid television specials. I am super down with that. I just don't think I much care for the gifts part. It's not a bad thing, I just have no interest.
