Black Friday

[cornerofmadness]

we went shopping but we went late. there's just not that much we want really. Got another tool for dad, looked at Best Buy since i came up with 'maybe dad would like the VHS to dvd converter' (at that price, he can borrow my cousin's) and check out to be sure I'm not too fat for Wii fit balance board (I am not) Knocked myself silly on one of the shelves and still have a big egg on my head.

Went to target and got stuffs. Went across to Bocktown a bar that my brother recced (and turned out my uncle is friends with the owner). You can taste any beer on tap before ordering. I had a Port Authority (portabella mushroom with BBQ sauce onion straws and cole slaw yum) and let's see sampled several beers but ended up drinking the Troeg Mad Elf (cherry wheat) and Blue Mountain Oatmeal stout (infused with coconut and vanilla). Shopping is much better with beer.

The trip culminated in a stop at the new Giant Eagle marketplace which i bet if i google will actually be owned by Whole Food Market. It's three football fields long of regular grocery store and specialty items. i could drop a grand without trying too hard. sausages hanging over the italian section, sushi made right for you, cheeses like wild. air cured beef, whole rabbit, buffalo. I could have lost my mind totally.

actual conversation

Me waving a carton around - MOM BROWN TOMATOES MUST BUY

Mom .....evil glare

Me running thru the produce section with a buddha hand that looks like an orange cthulu - MOM MUST BUY THIS 7$ FRUIT

Mom - what the hell IS it.

Me glued to the pastery glass - MOM MUST BUY EVERYTHING

Mom- buy it for my birthdaynext month

Me chasing mom as she blazed through the seafood section - MOM DIDN'T KNOW YOU COULD GO SO FAST

Mom - I hate seafood

And only have ten cents and thinking, "Must make the very best purchases!"

I was thinking of looking for a VHS to DVD converter. Now I'm afraid to look to see how much it is... o.O

lol @ grocery convo. Classic.

about 250$ b ut it does play dvd's too so it's not just a converter that you'll never use again

Oh man. You're brave. I don't step out of my house on Black Friday if I can avoid it. I used to with my Mom though so possibly it's a mom thing.

And on the shopping + beer note. That's brilliant. Malls really should start serving alcohol. It would make all shopping experiences much better.

Also the mushroom thing sounds fantastic.

and drunk, we'd end up spending more. That mushroom sammie was delicious
