Some People Put Off Christmas Shopping, But Definitely Not Me, I Do Mine Right Away, It's My Friend That Shops All Last-Minutey

A close friend told me about his recent shopping experience at Target - during their closing hour on Christmas Eve! Talk about procrastination! It definitely wasn't me, mostly because I sort of have a penchant for being proactive when it comes to buying presents. It was a friend of mine, and he just told me about it. Over the phone. His was cellular, mine was a land-line. Plus, it couldn't have been me, because I've been writing this post all day. Not that I need an alibi. Actually it's funny, I have a photograph of myself holding a newspaper, and it shows the date, and I'm at the library. And the time, too, you can see the time on a clock. That probably sounds staged, but it's actually because Seth Myers from SNL was there - it was nuts. Right there at the Maple Shade Public Library. I didn't even know he was from around here. Anyway, that's why I took the picture. There's a big mirror near the checkout, that's how I'm in it. There's no way I could have Photoshopped it, either, because I'm not that good with Photoshop. I have most of the basic functions down, but I couldn't reliably produce an image like this one. I don't want to post it here, this photo that proves I couldn't have been the one doing my last-minute shopping, because of bandwidth limitations. Actually, no, I tried to post the picture, but it kept coming up with that jagged broken-link thing. Not sure what that's about. I have a ticket open with the blogspot Customer Service team about it. I can't give you the ticket number because it's in the Terms of Service when you sign up, you can't disclose open ticket numbers. I guess it's an insurance thing? For blogspot? They probably want to - no, you know what it probably is, they probably don't want pranksters calling in with falsified ticket numbers, just wasting their time. Because pranksters do that. I put a call in to my lawyer to double-check about that - I could show you on my call log. Not that you know my lawyer's number. I don't have his name saved in my phone. I could save it now, I realize, but my phone's address book's full, I have 599 contacts, the 600th would start overwriting at random, so I don't bother adding new ones. Which I think is crazy, but it's on snopes.com, that it's a legit thing. I would give you the link to it, but the blogspot link button isn't working. When they get in touch with me about the upload picture problem, I'm gonna ask about the link button not working.

Anyway, he said it was like, crazy chaotic in there, but he found some really good deals. And he also needed toothpaste and hair gel, so it wasn't totally about buying presents.
