Tis the season...
Tis the season to be busy! Its been almost a week since me last blog! Bad Blogger! Bad Blogger!
Anyhow, with work and Christmas I have been really busy and really tired. I have not even really played on the comp at all this last week. I've been reading, watching TV or sleeping at night. Yeah sleeping at night how novel. Well it is for me it seems as I normally stay up until I just cant stand to stay awake any longer then Go to bed.
So lets see what happen this last week? I went shopping and bought most of the presents for my Wife. What's funny is I had bought one thing for her at the Mall, and it cost an arm and a leg, $58. I got it from one of those kiosks in the mall. I thought that was sort of high but I figured she knew what she was getting into when she asked for it. However when I went to work the next day I looked up how much other places were selling it for, $26 at normal places. Wow I felt really ripped off. So I went back to the Mall to return it. I was SO expecting a fight with this girl over returning this "item". There was no fight to it though. Just a simple exchange of goods for cash. I need to buy my Wife one more thing and I am going to hunt for that tonight. Hope I have good lucky finding that last item.
I also saw "Return of the King" this last weekend. What a great Movie. I thought it did a good job of following the book even if there were a few parts that got a little too creative. Oh well. Not many things will beat the sight of seeing the Black Gates open with Sauron's eye off in the distance over looking the battle. That scene shot elevated the movie to a new level of epic. I was very impressed.
