Best Laid Plans

The plan was to stay at home, eat leftovers and knit. I had every intention of doing just that. But, I have embarked on the single most difficult knitting endeavor ever. Its "Level 2." That means easy people. This shouldn't be difficult. Seriously. And I can't show you because it may or may not be a gift to someone who may or may not read this blog. I'm not saying, I'm just saying.

So, to get a bit of breathing room from something so ridiculously simple, I headed down into the trenches. Black Friday.

Well, not really. I went down into Westwood to Bel Air Camera. I was fightin' the crowds. It took me 3 seconds to make eye contact with Victor, it took him about 15 seconds to grab what I needed, about 2 minutes to discuss the purchase and another minute to be rung up.

Do I suffer for my deals or what?

Ok, for those of you who don't know Bel Air Camera, you should. In this age of big box stores taking over the world, Bel Air Camera keeps getting bigger and better. I mean, how many camera stores do you see in buildings that used to house banks. Everyone in there knows their stuff. Its a nice change from a kid earning a few bucks an hour over minimum wage shrugging when you ask a question about a particular product. In the interest of full disclosure, I paid about $30 more since I didn't stand outside of Circuit City at 4am this morning.

Hmm, getting up at 4am or paying another $30. Fighting crazy crowds or paying an extra $30. I don't know about you, but I think it was worth it.

So yeah, I ran a few errands and came back to continue the most difficult project ever.

And ate my left overs.

Even the best laid plans can have wee bit of modification.
