When I was younger, I had no idea that Black Friday even existed. I guess it’s because my family wasn’t much into that pitched-fever shopping stuff. Hell, if you had asked me I would have likely thought it was some historical referrence from a social studies assignment that I had tuned out. Again with the dork thing…
- This rug from Momeni - In slowly outfitting the living room with new digs, I’ve been searching for a good lookin’ rug. Too expensive for the possibility of doggie destruction, and not the right color. But nonetheless I think this is beautiful.
- Hand-me downs - Some people have problems with adopting the used belongings of others. Not me (so long as it’s not toothbrushes or underwear). In the past two weeks we’ve inherited a couch, an oversized chair and a 33” TV. Our basement got a lot cooler at no extra charge.
- This Ain’t A Scene, It’s An Arms Race - I’ve been obsessed with the new single from Fall Out Boy. This makes me 1) a preteen culture whore, 2) a mall-obsessed chick or 3) someone who can’t deny the guilty pleasures of pop-punk. It’s #3. I swear.
- AOL Sessions Under Cover, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus - They cover that Staind song (rather convincingly too), but the ‘unplugged’ version of their hit Face Down is almost better than the original I think. No direct link because AOL is dumb, so you’ll have to click on the second song. [Thanks Andy]
- Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale - Not a fan of the regular pale ale from SN, after reading good reviews of this I gave it a shot while painting on Wednesday. It’s actually a less-spiced version of the winter warmer that I just brewed, and perhaps with a smidge more hops. All in all a great holiday/Thanksgiving beer. Great, it’s only 8am and I’m already thinking about beer. Aye…
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving, and doesn’t get too swept up in the commerical BS of Black Friday. I know my house is half empty this morning because of it, but I likely won’t complain until I have to start painting. Until then I’ll just walk around the house in my boxers, getting weird looks from the dog, because damnit, it’s the day after Thanksgiving and that’s what this day is for.
