Sunday after class I sort of just hung out. I poked a bit with a few different things until I finally settled on a few levels of Little Big Planet, which Chris picked up the other day.
After thoroughly enjoying LBP for a bit, I started working on making some doughnuts in the deep-fryer Chris picked up as well as some 3-cheese tortellini.
Leki, as usual, was checking out what was going on. He's taken to sitting on one of the chairs and watching the activity on the dining table unfold, if permitted.
After a tasty dinner, and once all the doughnuts were done, Chris and I skyped with Adam and Comfort (TheUniques) for a bit and watched a movie. I'm not terribly comfortable with video chat (even though its been around for ages and I did it when I was much younger) but anytime I talk to Adam and Comfort I have a good time.
Saturday was a slow day. We didn’t do a whole lot, which was fine. There was a nap, there was a movie, and later in the evening - video games. Pretty good Saturday. Chris picked up Little Big Planet for the PS3 and a deep fryer to make some doughnuts tomorrow.
I am not a fan of shopping. In fact, I hate it if it doesn’t involve toys (which I deem to fall into the tech realm of computer parts, video games, hacks/mods, etc). So that includes grocery shopping and clothes shopping. And if you know me, you know I despise shopping for clothes so much I have been wearing some of the same things for nearly a decade. Yes, I'm sure you find this terrible.
I told Chris I had never been out on Black Friday. Precisely because I HATE shopping and crowds. But we needed provisions from Meijer, and we were right next to the mall… We poked around on some deals and Chris thought it would be a good idea in the afternoon to see if we could find any good deals on new business clothes.
So we ventured to Rivertown. And I nearly had a heart attack at how many cars there were. But, finally we parked and ventured into the toasty mall. There were some stores with lines that wrapped around the entire store - and I refused to even look at clothes there. We hit nearly every clothes store and eventually, after an hour or so, we started picking up more and more clothes that I could use. I even managed to snag a replacement winter coat.
So we bounced around to a few targets, Meijer, Woodland and Rivertown Crossings, and I actually feel like my goal was met and satisfied that I now have several possible outfits that do not include something from the early 00's.
So this is a shot of Chris scoping out the Droid display at Rivertown Crossing. Not as cool as the Palm Pre.
Well, today is Thanksgiving. This year it was a much smaller gathering at my parent's house as opposed to my grandmother's.
So Chris and I headed down there with pies and rolls in tow for some turkey festivities.
The food was good and it was discovered, when the pies were brought out, that pecan pie is not a fan of being warm... It quickly turned syrupy and lake-like. Still, people ate that and the pumpkin pie so all was good.
When we got home Chris and I let the ferret out for a bit to run around. Unfortunately Leki was not impressed or interested in her.
Wednesday morning I started on the rolls for Thursday while doing research for a paper due next week.
I spent the better part of the afternoon and evening at school, finishing up some extra credit assignments and doing some additional research.
Afterward I downloaded a USB loadable version of Chromium OS and tried to check it out. Unfortunately, I had some issues with the USB stick's connectivity, so this is as far as I got.
Monday was just frustrating. It seems like a lot of Monday's are becoming that way. Maybe it's because I feel like I should be going to work and I'm not. Maybe it's because I have very little people I can interact with socially during the day while everyone is at work. For whatever reason, it seems like the last several have been obnoxious.
