Recently I have been spending a lot of time on fanlistings. I just wanted to point out that I bought a new domain to house a few of my fanlistings. You can view it at ToDust.com; please let me know what you think. I also want to buy a domain for my fanlisting collective, and one for a domain collective. I worry I’m starting to become addicted to domains, like Georgina.

Thank you to everyone who wished me good luck on my Yale alumni interview. I think it went rather well; the lady was nice and we got along well.

Today was Black Friday. For those of you who don’t know, Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving in the US and it is considered to be the first official shopping day for the holidays here. Stores put out ads advertising huge sales, and everyone (well, many people) crowd the stores ridiculously early to get the best deals.

In the last three or four years, I have gone Black Friday shopping early in the morning twice and I absolutely loved the atmosphere both times. Because of that, I decided to go shopping this morning with Jimmy, even though I did not actually need anything.

I was supposed to wake up at 4am so that my mom and I could get to Target before she had to go to work, but we both overslept and ended up waking up a bit after five. Oh well.

This morning, I ended up only going to Target and Walmart with Jimmy. Target was a breeze and we were out of there really quickly, but then there was Walmart.

At Walmart, we stood in line for over and hour and a half. The line management was terrible there! The line we were in was merging into a line with THREE other lines. Why they didn’t tell people to stand in other, existing lines is beyond me. It took us probably an hour to get up to within three people in our line of the register, but of course there were three other lines going to the same one, and for some reason they kept getting priority. We stood there, almost at the cashier, for at least a half hour. All this for two DVDs (for me) and an optical mouse (for Jimmy)!

On the bright side, I did get some DVDs that I really wanted. I got all three Underworld DVDs for only $13. The first two cost me two dollars each, and the third was $8.99, since it only just came out this year. All in all, it was worth it.
