What a day.
I woke up at 4:30am this morning to head over to BestBuy so I could buy a Wii. Turned out a ton of people were there, I’m not good with numbers but it seemed like a thousand, more logically more then 500. I was wrapped around the front, around the side and all the way past the back of the huge store. After being amazed I went to Costco to see when they opened and the parking lot was half full because Fry’s was lined up too. I never knew so many poeple woke up that early for those crazy sales, and they’re a scam anyways. Oh, Target was wrapped around the side too, for what? I have no idea. Maybe the 19″ LCDs for $50 which Sara ended up passing up for some weird reason.
Yes, after my hour expedition I cam home and went back to sleep while Sara and Martha looked around town for Wiis and stuff. About 2pm rolled around Alex Uribe called me and told me that Toy’s R’ Us is putting some Wii’s out and I’d better hurry. I pretty much rushed as fast as I could and contemplated running a few lights. I got there in time before the “last one was scoped up”. I called Martha and she was on her way already so I asked again just to make sure and they had some in the back, probably hiding for the employees so they brought 3 more out and one was scooped and Martha got the other (don’t tell her kids BTW, it’s their Christmas gift). Awesome.
We played it for a little today before going out again just to return some stuff and do some normal shopping. I also needed to get some wiimotes which ended up being impossible. Walmart had the last one in Ventura and Oxnard, maybe even Camarillo since Target said they were out. And yes, I was that desperate for a remote that I bought it at walmart, I hate that store.
So now, I’m off to play some Zelda and budget out my purchases and get a ton of stuff ready for eBay. The list so far: Dead Rising, ?Burnout, Nintendo DS and games, Car Pioneer stereo with iPod kit, new iPod adapter for my new car and my old 10gig iPod. I wonder if there’s more for me to sell. I’d really like to keep my 360, at least for a little while.
