I am proud to say that yesterday I bought nothing.

Ah, except for a couple of 20 oz Mountain Dews. Does that count?

Anyway, this sorta highlights and underscores the reasons I object to holiday shopping -- you may have already heard about the woman who was trampled in Wal-Mart in the rush to a stack of sale-price DVD players. (Thanks swisscelt for the link.)

In other news, last night rocked.

I didn't buy anything yesterday either, and that story about the Wal Mart just boggles the mind. The really sad part of that story is the fact that if you did a survey, most of those tramplers would probably insist that they're "good Christian people" and see nothing wrong with the way they behaved. And yet I'm the infidel here.
Horrifying.

Heh heh. Last night rocked huh? And that's all you're saying about it? ;)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! (Yes,I am evil to laugh at this!)

Yesterday evening I went to the local grocery store to buy a few needed food items for the house. That's it! I have long avoided shopping on the day after Thanksgiving, too much of a zoo!

this happened not too far from here...

From the article:

"We are very disappointed this happened," (Wal-Mart) Burk said. "We want her to come back as a shopper."

Hmph. I bet they do.

They probably asked her on her way out on the stretcher if there was anything she wanted to pay for right then and there.

I worked, and avoided stores.

I take one day to shop for everyone on my list. I know exactly what I want to get them, and that is it. Who can really afford to shop anyways?

It is not surprising at all that this happened at a Wal-Mart. No matter how big they make the store, they still cram things in so tight that there is barely room to make one's way down the aisles. Wide aisles are of course filled with bins of miscellaneous merchandise and palettes of unboxed stuff. Wal-Mart does not use warehouse space and they do not have a space in the back to store things -- the aisles serve as their storage space until shelves are stocked. Frankly, it was a disaster waiting to happen, and maybe some good will come of it if Wal-Mart is forced to open those aisles back up to make it possible to move through the stores safely.

As for Friday night, eh, some boring business about running into wild acquaintances and indulging in several of my favorite fetishes well into the morning. Ho hum.
