Post-Traumatic Christmas Disorder

elfsSunday, Omaha and Kouryou-chan and I hurtled about the stores, doing the after-Christmas sales. We were out to get storage. It seems to be our most pressing need, containerization. I also bought a wallet; mine fell apart a couple of weeks ago and I needed one, so I just picked one up, thinking a wallet was a wallet. Boy, was I wrong. It's bulkier and stores less.
As I was standing in the mall waiting for Omaha to buy a pair of shoes for her upcoming business trip, I spotted $130 wallets behind glass and I wondered if they were really worth it.
Kouryou-chan and I stopped by the robot alligator and threw pennies into its mouth. For dinner, we had leftovers. I played a little Half-Life 2 which was interesting. It really is as good as they advertised, but the anti-theft mechanism is ridiculous. The game is themed on a totalitarian state; I felt like I was in one trying to register for a decryption key for the contents of the DVD with the game on it. And you cannot play the game off-line; you must have a network connection to re-affirm that you are who you say you are to play the game. Annoying. Give me the ID model.
I put Kouryou-chan to bed. She wanted me to read to her from Little House in the Big Wood. Man, the book reflects just how hard their lives must have been, but it's oddly fulfilling in its own way.
Is it too early to start on New Years' Resolutions?
