Black Friday is total madness.
Yes, it took 4 days to recover from my Thanksgiving foodfest. There was so much food this weekend and the leftovers tasted better! I am blessed.
Black Friday was fun. Went to observe the mayhem and it was kool to see all the fools lining up to buy $3 slow cookers, toasters, coffeemakers, etc. Thanks to all for making my Target stock rise by waking up at 4am and standing in neverending lines. Hope you got what you waited for. I ended up going shopping later that evening and picked up some kool games: Fallout 3, Resident Evil 5, Bioshock, Deadrising, and the Sega Genesis Collection. I love all the survival horror games and I’ve discovered this is the best way to get off tilt. No more broken laptops and wireless mice problems fer me. Just lots of shooting and zombie killing now. Left For Dead 2 is my current favorite right now and it’s so much fun playing online with family and friends. Before I know it, hours have passed and I still can’t put my controller down.
On Sunday I played another PCA qualifier and janked out in 27th place. My AK c vs. QJ off got outflopped. So frustrating. Gonna try it again this Sunday and maybe 3rd time’s a charm?! We’ll see… but the Bahamas beach is looking cold. Just need hands to hold. Please, Lady Luck, let the home team win!
The gang’s gonna be in Vega$ on Thursday for the 5 Diamond at Bellagio but I’m debating about going out there now as I’ve come down with a cold and I’m feeling miserable. Would like to see and hang out with everybody, though. But fer some reason, I am content in SoCal right now just blasting away at zombies. I also need to make some new jewelry for an upcoming holiday boutique martini party at BFF’s place. Yes, I not only enjoy killing zombies but also enjoy stringing beautiful Swarovski crystals into masterpiece necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. Go figure.
Spoke to lil sis a coupla nights ago and she’s gonna be filming a doc for the UIGEA while she’s in Vega$ these next 2 weeks. Will be kool to see her on film with all the other pros. I should jet over to Vega$ just to spend some time with her. Haven’t seen her fer a coupla months and we’re all supposed to see New Moon and go to Naked Fish and Tea Station too. Hmm, will decide later this week…
I think fer now in my sick state, I’m just gonna rest easy and catch up on my movies. I have a stack of dvds I borrowed from bro months ago…time to sip the chamomile and watch em all.

The Bahamas are calling!
AARRGGHH!! I played another Sunday qualifier fer PCA and finished 6th! I needed to finish in the top 2 to win my way to the Bahamas!!! ARGH!!! Felt janky fer a good hour or so…ugh. Then I played Left For Dead and after a few successful campaigns, was feelin’ good again. Had fun killing all those zombies! OMG, this game rules! And I was playing online with bro, E-Dog, and Eugene so it was even more fun! I’m also Xsporean on XBOX Live!
So last night I played and won another pre-qualifier so I’m in fer cheap fer this Sunday’s PCA qualifier again! Man, I better qualify this Sunday or else! I can already see the beach, cocktails, trashy mags, and FOOD! Never been to Bahamas! Never been to Atlantis! People tell me it’s paradise! I don’t believe them so I need to find out fer myself. And with lil sis already in, it’ll be such a fun trip!!
Thanksgiving is right around the corner and I’m hungry! Will be fun eating and chilling and eating some more. Check out the menu, yo!
Big ass bird (Thanks Uncle Joe!) with mama’s famous Chinese stuffin’!! Her secret ingredient? Shitake mushrooms and chestnuts, yo! And we also gotz green bean casserole, fruit salad, homemade mashers, and even sweet potater casserole! Throw in a pumpkin pie and homemade tiramisu and wash it all down with some pinot noir and sparkling cider and you gotz a couple extra pounds, easy! Oh, but so worth it! Thanksgiving is the only day where we’re supposed to overeat and feel good about it! So I only want to do my part and continue this great American tradition! Hmm, I will hafta check if Kobe is on! A Lakers win will complete my holiday.
Then Black Friday! I love Black Friday cuz who doesn’t like shoppin’ fer cheap?! And it’s also a tradition to wake up at an ungodly hour and support our economy! And fer those newbies that don’t know how to handle the masses, please be extra careful and don’t get hurt! Holy hell! Every damn year some poor shoppers let others walk all over them (literally!). Be safe out there! Hopefully, I can drag my sis to come with me to all these places and we can snag some deals! When else can you get yurself a slow cooker, coffeemaker, toaster, etc. for $3 each??!! Ah, Friday starts the holiday shopping season! December is an expensive month fer me. With birthdays on the 11th, 12th, 14th, and 15th, I am a broke bee-at-ch. Jank. Throw in Christmas, and by the new year, it’s true jankity jank. I am really tempted to pick up another PS3 just to have another blu-ray player in the house to go with the new 50” plasma and it comes with free copies of Batman’s Arkham Asylum and Infamous. These 2 games are right up my alley and I’ll also get a free blu-ray of The Dark Knight. Anyway, gonna make my shoppin’ list later today.
Watched the WSOP final table and ESPN sure made poker look like more of a crapshoot than a game of skill. Would’ve been nice to see Phil win it. And what’s up with Jeff “Grizzly Adams” Schulman?! Yo, I know you can afford a razor! I need to find out from Joe Cada how he knows when Ducks and Tres’ are gonna flop sets! You’re a genius! Congrats!
Playin’ some SNGs today and then meetin’ up with BFF fer lunch at the beach. Then gonna go to her neighbor’s holiday boutique tonight with the gang. Should be fun! Have a winning day everybody!
