Merry Whatever you Believe in

So because the world hasn't ended I guess that means we are going to have Christmas and New Years celebrations after all. Which is good, few things make me happier than watching crazy people flail and scream before realizing that they look like idiots.

Now all we have to do is wait until some new apocalyptic theory comes about to stir them up into a frenzy again.

Maybe this is what will happen to all of us.

In the meantime, enjoy the holidays before the next end of of the world craze. I'm just happy to be able to sleep in, buy things at greatly discounted prices, and be unproductive in front of a computer all day long. It's a good feeling.

What's not a good feeling is trying to buy Theresa something and have her turn it down. She's been needing a new computer for a while so I contacted a friend who was selling his old gaming computer. Would have worked prefectly.

If she had room for it.


Except it didn't fit.

She claims she's going to get a new laptop soon around the Boxing day sale and if she doesn't, I'll just run out and get her a new one. Seriously, her current laptop is over 4 years old and its age is really showing. The cooling pad I got her can only do so much.

The rest of my family has their gifts ready. Unfortunately, some are still on their way via mail. It's scary how you can order something at the beginning of December and still not have it by the end of the month. Maybe next year I'll start ordering more things online even earlier.


Or maybe they use pigeons to send stuff I don't know.

Anyways, enjoy your time off with your family and friends this holiday season. I know I am.

  3. It is kind of weird you can buy something at the start of December and have it take that long. I suppose that depends where you got it from but I think the longest I've waited for something is about three to four weeks. Though I am still waiting for something that was supposed to arrive on the 21st, so I could be waiting a while now. Anyway, merry Christmas, and yes, it sounds like she does need a new laptop, and that she won't actually buy one.

  4. Yeah December is a grueling time for mailing packets and the like. I ordered a game bit screwdriver at the end of last week, estimated time was 3-4 business days. I'm afraid I won't have it by the end of this week.

  5. That's nice of you but... four years isn't that old. I've got two laptops... one is nine years old, the other seven.

    P.S. I saw your picture on my blog. Hope you're not afraid of flying like Gloria.

  13. I'd say people weren't really freaking out much. We're not so afraid of death as we are having miserable lives. We're more afraid of losing electricity than the world exploding.
