Happy Cyber Monday Pixlpeeps! If you folks are currently buying stuff today, good luck and hope you find the stuff that you want. So how was your Thanksgiving (for you out of the USA folks, how was your Thursday and Friday)? It was a lot of fun here in my little piece of Southern California. Got to spend it with family, eat a bunch of food, took some pictures, and maybe braved the crowds at Target.

 

Here I am on Wednesday. I originally went out to pick up some Cherry Limeaid Kool-Aid from Walmart. By the end of this trip I would have gone to three different stores, including one crazy super market for some random Thyme, Rosemary, and Sage all in a planter. My little trip started at Walmart for my Kool-Aid, and then a quick trip to Target that turned into a half hour of roaming around, and to finish it off at a supermarket called Stater Bros. for the crazy planter. The last stop is always crazy the day before Turkey Day because a lot of folks put in orders for Turkey, Prime Rib, and other goodies, along with being the neighborhood market. It was my old neighborhood market so I still go here every once in a while.

 

Turkey Day was fun. I didn’t watch much football because I was too busy playing some games.

 

This is the Table Setting. I never sit here. I’m usually in the living room with the family watching random movies or whatever is showing on TV.

 

The bird. I don’t like Turkey on Thanksgiving (go figure) but we had this version and the Honey Baked Turkey Breast.

 

The Prime Rib. This is what I am down with. Last year I bought a pig for the family but since it was a smaller crowd this year, I am going to buy a pig for Christmas.

 

Pancit. Easily one of my favorite Filipino foods. Not pictured is the Pumpkin Pies that I usually cut a slice and then make it look like a hill covered in Reddi Whip. 

Around 7pm my cousin and I went to Target. It was an hour after it opened so hopefully all the crazy folks who went nuts over cheap TVs and Beats headphones are gone.

 

The sky was really pretty and this picture doesn’t do it justice.

At Target the electronics section was packed. Here is what I don’t get: you’re a shopper but isn’t buying in this department. Why park yourself and your cart in front of the PS4 games, staring at your phone, and be annoyed when people say “Excuse Me.” You know where there are no people? In the grocery section. Go stand there. Anyways my cousin and I were done in about 30 minutes and went home for more pie covered in Reddi Whip.

 

Pickups!

 

Here are the games I bought

 

Mad Max I bought on Wednesday because my cousin said to pick it up now since it was $25 and they only had four in stock. It was an impulse buy. I finally got my copy of Need for Speed and I have been playing that game all weekend. I’ll go more into the game next week but currently I am 67% finished with the game and since it’s an arcade racer

 

My first car I used in the first portion of the game and then I used this car

 

Yep I tried my hand at making another 2 Fast 2 Furious Skyline that Brian drove in the beginning of the film

 

I haven’t reached a high enough rank to unlock the front body kits yet

 

Music

From the $7 rack of CDs

 

Yeah because of Wrestlemania Demi Lovato’s Cool for the Summer was stuck in my head. In previous Lovato albums I found a couple of tracks I liked so hopefully I’ll find some other songs here too. Lana Del Rey because I bought her previous albums, and liked a couple of tracks.

 

Yeah like everyone else I picked up the new Adele. I joked with my cousin that I was going to listen to this while playing Mad Max.

 

Not pictured was the big package of paper towels because we ran out of them in the house. That continues my streak of odd buys during Dark Gray Thursday/Black Friday. One year I also bought eggs.

These are the best!

 

Before I go I saw this on Reddit before Turkey Day, and it made me laugh

 

Have a good week Pixlbit!

 

That’s all for now, more later!
