Post holiday randomocity

Atari and I are back from a visit to the family home.

It wasn't too bad. We wound up having our official holiday meal at Huddle House, which was actually fine with me. I've already done the traditional turkey, dressing, etc., thing at work so I'm set for now.

And today is Black Friday where the lunatics go out to spend their last dollar getting gifts for people who they think will love them for it. Trust me--if they don't love you already ain't no amount of money you can spend that'll change their minds. You just look pretty pathetic. And broke. If the people you loved get pissed at you because you didn't get them what they want then maybe you need to re-evaluate the people you love.

As for me, I'm getting my goddaughter something, and my best friend something, and that'll be all of my xmas shopping for the year. I'll do that online, too, in a couple of weeks. Will they get me anything? Maybe. Maybe not. I don't really care. I love them both from the depths of my cold, black heart regardless.

Anyways, I'm back home, unpacked, showered, ready to relax a while. Probably finally watch the series premier of The Walking Dead, which I got from ITunes the other day. (I watched most of season two on VOD and now I'm hooked. Dammit. Just what I need. A new obsession.)

So, if you got any time off enjoy it. Don't partake of the shopping madness. Give the people on your list a thoughtful little note or something. Maybe a nice box of candy that they like. Don't go broke for them.

If they really love you that's what they'd want.
