Presents
I have a little cousin, Raymond, who was born the day after Thanksgiving. The problem with that is, I don’t remember the exact date of his birthday, but we just always assume it’s the day after Thanksgiving, which is always on a different day. That is a little sad….
My aunt and uncle that live in the US asked me to help them choose a present for him, since they are busy with work and what not. Sooo…this is what I got. It’s fun shopping with other people’s money. I’m reasonable, but I don’t have to worry about my financial woes.

This is the Eyeclops Handheld Bionic Eye. I saw it on engadget and it looks pretty cool. I wouldn’t mind having one. Anyway, it magnifies anything to 200x and you can see the image on the tv. 200x is pretty huge and from the pictures on the box, hair is pretty gross.

My uncle chose this one. Actually, he told me to get a Transformer….but all the ones left at a reasonable price ($40) were decepticons. Not being a boy, I wasn’t sure if this was okay, so I had to call my brother…and he said it should be okay, and that you need to have a bad guy to play with anyway. I guess….but the colors on this megatron are so gloomy and boring. Grayish…bluish….ugh. The only autobot still available was Bumblebee and it was 90 bucks. Iiiiiii don’t think so.

Well, I forgot how, but I think my cousin wants to be a paleontologist when he grows up, or that was the last I heard of it, so this is probably ideal. I didn’t know it comes with goggles! Even cooler. Hopefully he’ll ask me to help. I went through a dinosaur phase as well ^_^.
Happy Thanksgiving!

^_____________^”
I hope everyone gets to spend time with people they love and reflect on what you’re grateful for.
I’m grateful for a room of my own and a bed to sleep in. I am thankful for hot running water, people who love me and being able to love in return. I am also thankful for being healthy (as far as I know).
Now let me be materialistic and do some greedy shopping tomorrow mmkay?
Rock Band Thief!

I went to Target with my mom today..and as I was walking down the women’s apparel aisle to the electronics department…I see this guy nonchalantly going the opposite direction…with what?? Not one, but two Rock Band boxes. Then….ding! Omg..I forgot the game comes out today. Not that I really care, because it’s a little above my budget for a single game, but it’s still exciting stuff. So I speed walked down to the console section and discovered that he had cleaned it out. Probably going to sell those on ebay now, mm?
Black Friday Warm-Up

After spending about 30 minutes haphazardly clicking through stores of interest and scrolling through all the “home stuff” and “clothing stuff” that I wouldn’t be able to make a decision without physically looking at it, these are the things I’m hoping to grab this Friday. Mostly…games, tech. I will for sure get the memory stick card, because it’s an obsession to expand…but I’ll have to do my research and find out if there is a cheaper deal right now for the 4gb (without the need for black friday), and I think there might be. My dad just got a PS3 in Taiwan (yeshhh!) and so the remote looks good. Did he already buy one? I’m not sure either. Heavenly Sword is an orgasm for the eyes…I’ve always wanted Cooking Mama for the DS…
and…..the Orange Box! I’ve been wanting to get it…and found out it would be cheaper this Friday so I’m waiting…Team Fortress 2. I’m so going to practice my FPS skills….it’s embarrassing how bad I am. Good thing WoW doesn’t play like that. At least it’s on the PC…I can’t for the life of me manage to play games like Halo on a controller. Who knows though..maybe I just need practice since…I don’t really have a lot of experience in it. I heard Boogie sucks, so I might hold on that one. I would be more willing to get it if it were 20 bucks.
Orange Box for sure though…that’s almost 50% off.
http://www.blackfriday.info/ is a good site for putting together a list of things to get. They don’t have many ad pictures though.
