Black Friday

Who, me, go shopping today? I don't think so. I am staying so far away from any kind of shopping site today. Maybe tomorrow I'll venture out but right now it's cold outside, so I don't know. Just had lunch earlier. Leftovers from last night. It was good, though, but thank God it's only once a year :)

Yesterday went to see The Mist. It was a little long winded but it was okay. I do have to say that the ending was different, but I could see it happening. I won't spoil it in case you haven't seen it yet. I picked up the book where the original story is from and believe me the ending is nothing like in the movie, of course, they had to play it up for drama and believe me towards the end I could not stand the suspense. But when that crazy lady kept going on and on I was like, enough already. It kinda pissed me off because it is so stereotypical but that's what King goes in most of his stories. There's always a religious nut somewhere. Like in Carrie but I think this one was overdone a bit. Other than that I enjoyed it and of course it wouldn't be King without the creatures and I thought that action was good too. The creature effects were believable in contrast to some of his other movies. All in all it was a pretty good suspense movie with some creature bits to satisfy his fans. Would I watch it again? Probably not. Not because I didn't enjoy it but because it was too heart stopping for me. I tend to stay away from movies that are too suspenseful probably because I'm still nervous about getting panic attacks but I got through it okay.

We put up the tree yesterday before we even had Thanksgiving dinner. Ha! There was Christmas in one room and Thanksgiving in the other. That's funny. Maybe this weekend we can put up the lights. I still need to go through the decorations that we already have to see what we need to replace and/or get rid of. I'll probably do that later on today. Time to get the house holiday ready! Got a four day weekend so I have plenty of time.

Omg...watched Criminal Minds on Wednesday and it was good. It was when Garcia got shot and it turned out that it was because she had inadvertently stumbled onto a good Samaritan killer. He was a deputy how killed people and then called for help. This way he was always the first responder and looked like a hero. Of course, he'd get commendations and stuff so that made him look good. He thought Garcia was onto him but of course she wasn't and almost got killed for it. Oh, and on House he's down to the "final four". The mormon guy was fired even though he was promised immunity because he had made a deal w/Cuddy. He thought he was being so smart and that House would applaud the deal he made but it backfired on him. So now it's the "backstabbing bitch", the "liability guy" and "the short one". We'll see who else gets booted next week. Speaking of being booted out........thank God I'm not wasting my time watching DWTS. I only find out updates by what I watch on tv afterwards.....Jenny Garth was the next one to go. Oh, please, don't tell me that Marie Osmond is going to win. Can anyone say PITY VOTES!!!!!!!! She is so pathetic because her brother is always saying how hard she's trying and how the show saved her from being depressed. HELLO!! Does she not have a life? What about the dozen children she has, or the over 100 relatives. She just wants to win, that's all. Anyways, she was an unfair advantage because she is in the entertainment business. Now Helio, the race car driver, now he is the underdog who is doing awesome. If I would have voted this season I'd be voting for him, but we all know the way it really is. Put up a sob story and people will eat it up. Boo Hoo..

Well, unto more pressing matters, I have stuff to do....
