X'mas and Boxing Day Purchases

Weird X'mas. Spent the entire afternoon watching NBA (Spurs beat Suns by 1, yeah; Boston lost to Lakers, boo), then felt tired and went to bed at 9:30 pm. Yes, 9:30 pm.... wow, that is sad

Woke up 6 am Boxing Day and finished my reading for the Microsoft certification, and started watching the new TV show Leverage, it has potential 4 episodes in

9 am, ooh, since I am awake already, let's head out and see what's out there... there was no lineup anywhere
Staples had a lineup only because people arrived before 9:30 am when they opened up.

It's a lame Boxing Day compared to last year, but here I am, still spending (online & in-store)

• D-Link NAS $140
• 100 DVD-R $20
• Grocery $20
• Gas @ 64.2 $35
