eee13131. Last night I went shopping at the outlet mall. While there, both ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fava_bean and yakgirl called me, but I didn't answer and so owe each of them return calls. When fava calls, my phone plays Robin Sparkles' "Let's Go to the Mall." I found this funny, as I was at a mall when fava called, and Robin started singing on my phone. (I don't go to the mall very often, so it's the little things that amuse me.)
2. I finally bought a new pair of khaki-colored pants at the outlet. I am pleased with this turn of events. I also bought a new pair of winter boots, as my previous pair died last winter. I went to the Timberland outlet, as I figured if I were to buy winter boots, I'd get me some winter boots, you know? The options for women's boots in my size were minimal, and the one pair I liked had zero support and very little tread. So I got a pair of guy's boots, and they are hardcore and awesome and I am ready for snow. WOOOOO!
3. I'm still planning with my mom about Thanksgiving. I will make pumpkin pies! Oh, yes.
4. We have acquired Star Trek. Repeat. We have acquired Star Trek. We watched some of the special features last night, but this does not include the gag reel. So far, it needs more John Cho.
5. Work is D-U-L-L.
6. Democratic Party, stop calling me for donations! I've been telling you for months that I can't/won't donate. Take a hint already! It's not that I don't like you, it's that I can't afford to give you my money. My charity money is already earmarked for the girl I sponsor in the Phillipines. Leaving blank voicemail messages doesn't make me want to give you money, either.
7. You know who makes no sense to me? My parents. They live in Michigan now, right? Well, sometime this week (today, maybe?) they're coming down to Illinois. Why? Because there's something wrong with their car, and they're taking it to the dealer they trust in Joliet. :| If there's something wrong with your car, driving it 180 miles to get it fixed makes PERFECT sense, doesn't it? I swear, one day I'll get a call from them saying they broke down on I-94 in Indiana. Also, they drive back to Illinois for car repairs, dentist visits, appointments with the lawyer, etc., and half the time they do this during the day and don't stick around, so I don't even get to see them. :|
8. I have barely watched any TV lately. It's kind of nice.
9. I have no idea what to get the Scientist for Christmas. I bought him one thing the other day, but it's kind of impersonal and practical, which is dull. I want to get him something nice for Christmas, but I have no ideas this year. Phooey.
10. Tomorrow night is The Addams Family. WHOOOOOOO! Bebe Neuwirth! Nathan Lane! Terrence Mann! I hope it's good.
11. I asked the Scientist to get my 60GB iPod repaired for Christmas. I thought the battery was dead. He just called from the store, and it seems that the hard drive is completely corrupted. Booooooo. (We actually have two dead iPods, both with the same problem.) They said it will cost $250 to get a new hard drive put in just one of the two, or for the same price we can get a brand new iPod with 160GB and video capacity. We'd also get a discount for recycling one of the dead iPods. So I guess I'm getting a new iPod for Christmas? This means I've really got to step up and get the Scientist something good...
And that's all I've got.
