Follow them all, or wait for Monday highlights:

• My 4 year old niece kicked butt on NES Pinball tonight, scoring 60,000 on her first ball. I feel so old and useless.
• Just cracked a new record for Amazon Associates points in a month. Yay Christmas shopping!
• Almost finished Christmas shopping tonight. Most annoying store: The one where the credit card and gift card machines were down. OUCH
• Using Google maps to verify addresses of Amazon Marketplace orderers. Shipping four packages tomorrow.
• The mailman was very kind today. Walking Dead HC? I’m in heaven.
• Got to test drive a Canon XTI today. After all the negatives I heard about its size, it didn’t feel small in my large hands.
• Sad day: Amazon is out of stock of the Canon XTI camera. (With kit lens. The body is still in stock.)
• Changing my game plan re:buying a new camera. Buying body, no kit, buying IS lens. Will cost a couple hundred more. Need more time.
• You know what I hate? People who want to describe movie gags, take forever to do so, and don’t make them funny.
• You know what else I hate? People who, hearing I haven’t seen a movie, then tell me the entire plot in painstaking detail.
• Hacking around on a website, getting frustrated by weird kludges that are necessary to make things function for no conceivable reason.
• The Refurbished Adorama lens of my lust: Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM
• Apple has shut down ThinkSecret.com. And the Apple Fan Blogosphere isn’t threatening to burn down Apple for this. Why not?
• Having the PayPal browser plug-in for a Mac would be very very handy to me.
• I’ve reached the age now where Christmas is all suck. Family sucks.
• Time to crack open Veronica Mars Season Three…
• When do you know you’ve married the right woman? When she says, “I want to see 24 Season One? Do you have the DVDs?”
• In the past, I can remember times when Amazon would offer 10% off your Wish List items after Christmas. I hope they do it again this year.
• Sunday, 1:20 p.m.: I should start wrapping presents one of these days. . .
• Wow. Even Slashdot has fallen for the Fake Steve Jobs Apple Lawyer gag. I’m not sure if that’s hilarious or sad.
• Merry Christmas Eve Eve. We used to think my father was so smart using that when we were kids. Nowadays, it’s a punchline on ten sit-coms.
