Christmas Shopping

So I went to the mall on Monday, looking around for some stuff for the people on our Christmas list. Anybody else use these? They are new to me and my family but Caryn's family has done it for awhile. Basically they just give everyone in their family one person to buy 1 gift for that person. This is used in her immediate extended family. (Does that even make sense?) Anyway for her cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents etc... Then her immediate family still buys gifts for each other. Anyhow, I was looking for a gift for my nephew at the mall. I always go into the sports stores to see what Red Sox stuff they have. I went straight to the baseball apparell and was shocked to see that the Yankee had their own rack full of shirts, jerseys, etc.. while the Red Sox were stuck sharing a rack with both the Cardinals and Rangers. It upset me so much that when the sales associate came around I asked him about it. I had assumed that like most baseball "fans" people were still just buying the Yankees stuff because they are still a popular team despite their recent postseason woes. However the sales associate's answer was much more satisfying. He said that the reason they had their own rack was because they couldn't sell any of it. Sales of Yankee gear was so bad that they even had it marked down lower than all of the other gear.

Anyhow, so I found this cool video of a magic trick http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGCM6ogTZF8&eurl=http://www.magicgeek.com/animated-shoelaces-by-jeremy-moncrief-289.html

Check it out its pretty cool. I'm not sure how it works but since I ordered one I'll let you know.

Also check out this video. It is by far the best 300 spoof out there and well worth your time.
