Black Friday, ummmm… Why? November 28th, 2009

Brandon

Every year we get the mailers, flooded with commercials, and get our hopes up for Black Friday. The biggest shopping day of the year, and how “great” the specials are…

While there are a handful of things that MIGHT be worth standing outside at 3am to buy at discount, I am the type of person that would rather buy it the week before or the week after at full price and not have to put up with the udder bonkersness (yes I just made up a word) of the lines, people, and situation.

WE ARE LIVING IN THE GOLDEN AGE OF THE INTERNET. Just this Black Friday, I bought a bed… online… no lines, no issues, free delivery, and didn’t even have to take off my tazmainian devil slippers…

Meanwhile, people braved the elements, to pick up a knock-off name 720p flat panel TV, or a $299 laptop that will be obsolete by the Apocolypse (2012).

PRE SHOP, avoid the hassle, and buy it in November or Christmas Eve… it hasn’t done me wrong yet!

Heard RAVE reviews about The Blind Side, and while I don’t like Sandra Bullock, it is amazing… second movie I had seen in a week that made me cry like a little girl…

BIG 5-game homestand for the Thunder to start off December, including Houston and Boston, 3-2 thru this would be INCREDIBLE! How fun is this team to watch when all cylinders are clicking?! A great pre-game spot to hit will be the Bricktown Brewery for 1/2 price beers and appetizers http://www.360okc.com/coupons has your printable coupon to stop in and save!

Waiting for chicken and the plot to thicken November 10th, 2009

Brandon

I’ve always heard about how grand Chik-fil-a store openings are. Up until about 2 years ago I didn’t know they had stand-alone stores, but the mallrat staple has now grown up and become a giant.

A new store opening in Yukon, and as with EVERY Chik-fil-a store opening, the first 100 people at the store receive free food for a year.

FREE
CHICKEN
FOR
A
YEAR!!!

How did I never know about this until a few months ago. It is totally worth risking hypothermia for free food! SO… Feeling compelled and challenged by the bait of free grub I loaded up in the new Ford Escape (which I need a name for, I want Skellator, but my wife won’t let me) and headed to Yukon.

I get there and there is already close to 150 people waiting for the grand opening. I stood in line for a few hours hoping the weak would fall from the ranks, but free chicken was apparently too compelling to get people to leave.

Chik-fil-a is damn good, so I get it… there is a new store opening on I-240 in a few weeks, I am ALL OVER that!

Later in the weekend, I took my wife to see a movie, and because of a Wedding/DJ gig, we had to go earlier in the day. We settled on “Where the Wild Things Are”. I was intrigued having read the books as a tyke, but I really didn’t remember much of the storyline which didn’t affect my view on the movie.

It is NOT a kids movie, maybe a tweens and up, but I think the average 5-7 year old might be scared by the “Blair Witch” camera work, and be lost by the story.

It is DEEP, it hits hard at how divorce affects kids, and it is interesting how I connected with the story. With that aside, there really isn’t much to it. I kept waiting for something to happen, and it really never did. Decent movie, but I doubt it will be added to the DVD collection.
