Well, it is officially the time of year when the days become shorter and darker. Naturally, we turn to the warm glow of the malls which are airtight as not to let in any natural air made from plants, and without a single window, so as to disallow any natural luminescence to enter those souless confines. And we buy nifty gifties (nifty gifties!) which are offerings to the deity Sol Invictus. Since I am well aquainted with my readership and happen to know that I only have one loyal reader that is pagan, (and ex-pagan at that… hi lena) I can guess that most of you don’t know that the festival to commemorate the winter solstice starts on Dec. 17, so start buying enough gifts to fill the days.


Playstation 3 camp Summary

…Which leads me to talk about the most sought after holiday store-item and the sacrifices made by brave Americans at Playstation 3 Camp. You can read about Playstation 3 camp if you go several posts down.

As you know I visited these fearless crusaders of the American dream several times and gave them my card with my blog address so they can come comment on my posts which were bearish about their plans to sell their new Playstation 3s on ebay for a projected gross revenue of north of $3K (most were talking low $5Ks). That would be a rough gross profit of $2,400 with the most conservative projections, not taking into account the real and immeasurable costs of lost jobs, failed exams, freezing camping, and the opportunity costs of what could be done during the week. It might still be worth it though, and that’s why I gave them all business cards so they could remember afterwards gloat about how smart they were and how worth it it really was. But I haven’t gotten any comments yet.
