I climbed into the pit of voles

And went Christmas shopping today, hitting the big box stores. There's a theory that says the presents we buy for other people are really a reflection of what we want for ourselves...

which explains how I spent over two hundred dollars at the bookstore. Then came home and promptly ordered online items that the bookstore did not have in stock.

Really, could there be any better present than a book for Christmas? I think not.

ETA: Well a robot dinosaur would trump most (but not all) books. Still the sentiment holds in general.

Robot dinosaurs trump lots of things. It's one of the perks of being a robot dinosaur. :-)

Is it too late to grow up to be a robot dinosaur? I don't recall seeing this choice on career day, but maybe I needed to check the fine print....

Well, since we supposedly have 3 or 5 or 7 or some such careers over the course of a lifetime, there must still be time ...

Had to laugh--when I went in to Sears today they had a big sign saying "All Robots 50% off!"

Very cool Robot dinosaurs to be had, but alas I wasn't shopping for myself.
