The Spectrum food court has ripped out the planters. I guess they realized they needed the floor space after they chopped off one end.
It’s Halloween, so Target has the Christmas decorations up!

Zune Fail, Comment Win & Holiday Creep
- Weird: Zunes all over the world froze up at the same time overnight.
- Comment win: “like she was going to rip his arm off and beat his spleen to death with it. Not him; just his spleen”
- Just a quick store run – yeah along with everyone else in town.
- More holiday creep! I still need to mail Xmas gifts to people I missed! It’s still 2008!
Bells, Not Words
I like “Carol of the Bells” as an instrumental piece. Sung with lyrics? Not so much. It feels tacked on.
Mall Crush
Must remember: just because the mall is the CLOSEST place to grab lunch doesn’t make it the BEST place, esp. 3 days before Christmas.
Christmas Shopping
- Need to sleep. Found myself typing “Satan Claus” by mistake.
- Symptom of car culture: I almost feel like I have to justify crossing the street on foot to go to another store instead of moving the car.
- Sun Halo. All you have to do is look up once in a while.
- Linens & Things: Nothing left to sell but the shelves…
- Almost. Walked around a corner and they do have SOME stuff left
- Virgin Megastore is closing too, but they’ve still got lots of stuff. Including 5000 copies of Serial Mom.
- Replica toys: I get the nostalgia factor, but at the same time it’s a weird idea.
- Going out of business sales seen today: 4. Mervyns, Linens & Things,Virgin, Steve & Barry’s.
- And the more stores I look at, the more “What You Own” competes in my head for the ubiquitous Christmas music.
- Amazon’s wishlist needs a generic option. Like “I want an 8GB Micro-SD card” rather than “I want THIS Micro-SD card specifically!”
