Behind Enemy Lines

Soon, I will leave my house and go to ShopKo. If any of you are home, do feel free to visit me! I'll be there from 11am until 8:30pm. It will be hilarious. I guess the store has some kind of new "savings" cards that I'm supposed to pimp from my register? OR NOT.

Presumably, I will have an hour-long break (hopefully) about in the middle, so don't come then. Also, do feel free to call up Antoine, who will be in my house, either reading or doing math problems from his math book. I did not think that such people existed - people who, after graduating, and getting a nice job, continue to do math in their free time. But Antoine is one of these people.

Last night around 9pm, we saw people in tents and underneath mountains of blankets outside Circuit City and Best Buy. Who are these people?

I did some shopping myself yesterday! Right after the Packer game, so we were pretty much the only people inside the store, except for those who had been watching football on the HDTV. I got a purse, a belt, and the second season of Buffy on DVD, all of which are on sale. If anyone needs cheap Buffy, they have full seasons at ShopKo for $16.99! I think it goes through Saturday, if you're avoiding stores today.

The holiday at my sister's house was nice. I am a bit upset that leftovers will be had for dinner there tonight, and Antoine will get some and I will not. Also, WTF is up with us arriving at my sister's, four people through the door at once, and all my nieces and nephew say is, "ANT-WOHN! ANT-WOHN!" HELLO, I AM YOUR AUNT, KTHX.

continue to do math in their free time

When I was in college I worked @ the science library, & was slightly horrified to see a journal called Recreational Mathematics.

we saw people in tents and underneath mountains of blankets outside Circuit City and Best Buy.

Augh. So wrong!!! I expect today & tomorrow there'll be the usual stories of people injured in a mob rush to the doors of Wal-Mart to get $3 DVD players or something.

Damnit... if I had self-control I would have waited for a sale like that... unfortunately I already have all of Buffy, so. Actually, that's not unfortunate at all, is it?

GOOD LUCK today! Also, your avatar is my favorite.

Adam does math in his free time too!

Damn, I was actually in that neighborhood after work, shopping at Kohl's and West Towne. (Tried on lots of stuff; bought socks and a CD.) People were camping at 9 PM?!?! I was awake at 4 AM (not on purpose), but I'm glad I didn't consider trying to shop at that horrible hour.

re: neices
When my niece was about three, my then-spouse, N, and I were over there for a family thing. N and she played quite a bit together. When it was time for us to leave, she asked if he could come back to visit. N asked if I could come back too. She responded, "But why?" Oh, the mortification.

Ooooh, but actually, I worked at the ShopKo in De Pere, WI, not Madison! So, I guess it's good that you didn't try and stop to see me, hehe.
