last night i had some weird apocolyptic alien dream. the only way to save everyone was that the aliens heard five iron frenzy play. if they did, they would explode. everyone was camped out in a desert to escape from the aliens, and i was looking for the parents of people i knew, because somehow this would help. i found a stage in a campground on the edge of the desert. there was a sign that said five iron frenzy had played there. then the action cut to ben's room at the mansion. his roomate had rearranged all the furniture, and the room and house were completely different. i think i was looking for ben, because i hadnt seen him out at the desert. just when the crazy five iron frenzy, searching for people, exploding aliens stuff was getting exciting, i woke up. the day went downhill from there

haha, just kidding. i went to the MALL

i went into this shop, randomly. the bright light coming from the walls and floor gave me an insta-headache. i wanted to find out what i was dealing with, so i walked over to a clothes rack and found that the blue pants cost 550 dollars. i walked back out and watched a japanese tourist taking extensive video footage of the meet-santa installation. i wander when i go christmas shopping. i get confused and overstimulated, and it takes me forever and a half to find something. most of it is aimless, pointless, and brainless. like walking into the glowing store, or making three trips across the mall because i didnt really have a plan. i stood there in front of a directory sign for 10 minutes, reading the names of every store and listening to a couple talking in spanish about diamonds. but, my christmas shopping is over, and i am happy. and poorer.
