The Battle of Five Lounges

[ComicChick]

i've had a lot of pretty crappy Christmases in my life so i kinda just don't really care anymore

i also hate the consumerism and how ridiculous some people get when it comes to gifts.
looking back, i'm pretty glad i didn't get half the stuff i ever asked for cuz i didn't need it, and it was frivolous. nowadays, if a 12 year old doesn't get an ipod, iphone and a xbox then that means they aren't loved! whatever
i always remember my Grandmother telling me growing up that for Christmas they'd get a box of fruit and homemade treats and candies and they were all so happy and excited with that. she was one of 10, and grew up on a farm so they weren't rich montarily, but they were in other ways.

so when i hear about people whining about not getting everything they wanted or whatever, i just roll my eyes. like the twitter fiasco last year of all the lamentations about not getting new phones and the like and how they hated their parents for not getting them.

Luckily it didn't kill her because putting eye drops in someone's drink is dangerous as all hell. Since you never can tell the difference between when I'm joking here is a link to prove why you should do crazy **** like that.

Days like this make me hate not having a car. I left my house at 8:30am to run some errands and forgot today was Saturday and the east/west buses only run once an hour. I just got home 20 minutes ago. But I did join a gym and get all the stuff I needed done, done. I'll be Losing this gut here soon hopefully. Also quitting smoking today, just smoked my last one and gave my lighter away. Gonna jump in the shower and throw the patch on

I'm being forced to do Christmas shopping one week early tomorrow.

 

[Lunar_Wolf]

I hate Christmas shopping. Most people don't care two days later what you got them.

 

[SymbioticToxin]

I technically already got my sisters gifts, now I have to get a gift for my cousin(?) for the secret santa my family down here does.
I'm getting her a gift card, putting it in a cd case with a note that says 'Get your own CD'

 

[DJ_KiDDvIcIOUs]

I just got my sister, nieces and nephew gifts. Basically just the kids. Got myself some dope headphones

Now, now, Clippy, don't be a Grinch.

 

[DarkSentinel]

Ok so Batmoses...yeah, see it. Good stuff.

 

[MrMaooz]

I was gonna watch it tonight, but my brother doesn't really want to pay 17 bucks a pop tonight. Probably cause of the reviews. We're gonna wait till 5.75 Wednesdays.

The Desolation of Smaug it is tonight for moi.

 

[DarkSentinel]

BoFA is this year's Christmas flick for me and my brother. Can't wait.

 

[Iceman]

If you like DoS you'll probably like TBo5A.

 

[MrMaooz]

I'm just knocking out the two Hobbit films because I want to see a Middle Earth film in theaters. BotFA looks freaking awesome.

An Unexpected Journey was good, but it wasn't anything great. It got kind of boring at times. Best parts were with Gollum and pretty much the last 45 minutes.

I'll definitely be checking out Exodus next week or so. I've just been under the weather with severe cough & cold. It's got to be the only thing I hate about winter.

 

[DarkSentinel]

I'm wondering if Smaug destroys the Windlance and Bard has an überbadass moment where he just fires the black arrow from his longbow.

I hope.

 

[Duke]

HeeeHeee, I'm watching The Outlaw Josey Wales & Uncle Leo (from Seinfeld) is about to get shot.

 

[Iceman]

The film is one huge battle scene from about half an hour in, no mucking about. Much better than I was expecting.

Yeah, I'm definitely interested. Saw the trailer before the film today. No Avengers or Star Wars trailer though.

I had strong tinnitus this week. Man, was it annoying.

Y'know, I'm quite shocked at the terrible reception Exodus has gotten. The trailers were amazing, and it's a Ridley Scott film starring Christian Bale. I guess I'll see for myself.

Hope you get better, Moose!!!

Hope you get better, Moose!!!

It's pretty much gone. My goodness is it painful. I want to be a James Bond-like spy, but the tinnitus that comes from all that gun shooting must be too hard to bear.

Trying to remember now (fell asleep till midnight when I got home so a bit hazy). Apart from Exodus I can only remember Night at the Museum 3. Shame, but this was UK, maybe you'll get some of the bigger ones.
