vovatYesterday was Black Friday, but I didn't do any shopping. It's too bad, really. I mean, I could have been trampled or pepper sprayed at Wal-Mart! Who would want to miss out on that?
Instead, I stayed at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bethje's house for most of the day, doing such things as using the computer, eating leftovers, reading, and watching TV. We saw part of VH1's I Love the Holidays, which was a cool idea, but very oddly arranged. They'd switch from talking about something associated with Christmas to a Halloween institution, and then back to a December holiday again. They didn't seem to cover any holidays from earlier in the year than October, but I'm not sure if that's because I didn't watch it from the beginning, or they're planning another special for holidays from earlier in the year, or they just couldn't think of anything to say about the earlier days.
Today, my grandparents came to visit, and we went out to eat at Max & Erma's. I'd never been there before, but it's basically another one of those places with crazy crap on the walls. I had the chicken fingers, which were good.
My brother gave me a Circuit City gift card for my birthday, so I'll probably use that soon. Also, my mom made me a spicecake, but I haven't eaten any of it yet.
I have to autograph a bunch of limited edition Oziana plates and send them on to the next person in line, but I don't have to pay for it. Besides, that hopefully means the issue containing my first published story is going to be coming out soon.
I've tried to redo the colors of my journal for the holiday season, but I don't think the thing ended up looking particularly festive. Yeah, I know nobody but me ever even sees my journal colors, but I'd still appreciate any advice anyone might want to give.
