The Holdiay Spirit and Spirits
Yesterday, I did some shopping for work. I gotta tell ya, spending someone else's money is awesome fun. With my own money, I have to be a total Ebenezer otherwise trivial things like electricity don't get paid. Or worse yet, my pantry full of green salsa goes frighteningly under-stocked. And that, my friends, would be very, VERY bad.
After dropping $1000 on electronics, I found myself positively euphoric. There really is an endorphin rush associated with shopping! On my way back to the office, I ran into CVS to pick up a couple things. As I left, a man asked me if I had any spare change because he needed some seizure medication. By seizure medication, I'm pretty sure he meant "booze because I have the shakes."
Still riding the wave of my shopping high, I gave him $5. Happy holidays. Have some store-brand whiskey on me.
For my last post for NaBloPoMo, I'm going to need your help. Yes, YOU!
In the comments, post a question you'd like me to answer. Sounds like one of those lame memes, doesn't it? It is and I don't care! My poor little brain is tired. I think I blogged more this month than I did all summer.
So go ahead. Ask away.
UPDATE: Thanks for your questions. Comments are now closed.

QUESTION: How would you characterise the current treatment of ambiguity in identity studies? What are the communicative implications for this treatment? (This would REALLY help me prepare for comps... Kthxbai.)
BTW, my class was VERY impressed that I knew what an LOLcat was, and that there are actually LOLThomas'. Thanks, Brian, for always being a source for my learnin' o'the young-uns.

OMG i kid! I wanna know, or have the archive link to, your full 'coming out' chronicles.
not that the "current treatment of ambiguity in identity studies" won't be fascinating, but i thought a little glbt subject matter would be nice for the kids too...
plus, what's your favorite: fragrance, underwear brand to wear, underwear brand ads, cereal, xmas program, podcast, blog, grocery store, and shoe.
also: white or wheat? dvd or blu ray? apple or dell? cat or dog? summer or winter? tables or css? email or snail mail? pretty in pink or breakfast club? axl or brett? madonna or cher? fraggle rock or smurfs? csi miami or csi new york? mexican or italian? mornings or nights?

new question: wouldn't you agree that parker is the hottest thing running when it comes to felines? and remember, santa hates jealous petty liars, so tell the truth.
