I made it out of Walmart alive.  :zombiefuck:

Some strange dude kept running into me near the Christmas stuff...an older woman gave me a death glare for a good 5 minutes, not sure what that was about...another was swigging out of a huge bottle of grape juice in the pasta aisle...and the door greeter looked like she just wanted someone to shoot her and put her our of her misery.

You can tell the holidays are approaching.

Hopefully I'm stocked up enough where I only have to run out to get the bare essentials.

Am weird about shopping online, but have done all holiday shopping for the last few years. It's wonderful; may never turn back.

My wife, who I love dearly (do not mistake my attempt at typing), did not even know what "online" meant, let alone try to get her to go there/here not that long ago.

I bought her a Microsoft Surface Pro tablet for Christmas a couple of years ago and she finally got used to it. Now she orders shit every week, including shoes, underwear, t-shirts, coats, school supplies, etc. Everything you can imagine!
I ask her sometimes when I see her intently working with her tablet, "What are you doing?"
She says, "Just doing some window shopping."

My point: even a dinosaur can do online shopping, if presented with proper tools.

Jimi Hendrix: When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace. 

Ghandi: Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

I had energy today.

We sent off the immigration paperwork on tuesday and had bibimbap to celebrate. between the digestive issues that followed and other things including lack of sleep, I should be exhausted. But in spite of all that I went on multiple errands yesterday and didn't have to rest today.

Energy is good.

Not sure what your point has to do with my personal unfounded issue with shopping online. Not archaic, just paranoid, even though preferring to avoid the store.

Online for the first time in a while. No interwebz in my flat in London. I thought renting a flat would be better but nooooo.

Found my holiday music and copied it onto the computer.

It snowed!

Holiday shopping on a budget has reminded me that I am a creative person....

SNOW!!!

When it is too much, send some here please. Have not seen decent snow in years, and I do so miss it.

Yes, a few weeks of reducing the world to black and white clear lines and soft angles. Love the light it brings, and the simplicity it brings.
Also like walking in it.

Do not need massive amounts. 20 cm would be awesome, 50 I would love, but the nation would think a national disaster had hit.

10 cm and they think it's a national disaster here. ::) I'd rather be without.

My good thing for today: I got to sleep in my own bed for the first time in a week.

At two centimetres they take it very serious here, at five centimetres they claim it to be a national disaster. But only at a layer of 50 cm and a fair bit of wind will they call in the army to drop food and stuff. So only then they treat it as a disaster.

(For those thinking that is absurd, our country does not have the infrastructure, nor the material, to deal well with amounts of snow like that longer than a few days. It's too rare a thing to be prepared for by default.)
