everyone has holiday traditions. even if they deliberately choose to not follow them. many, if not most, holiday traditions annoy me. not because i think they are stupid, pointless and a waste of perfectly good money. but because they have a tendency to get in my way. if all i want to do is buy a new flash drive from best buy, why should i be stuck in a line for 30 minutes waiting for all the rich people to buy their new laptops and psp's for their pristinely spoiled children? frankly, i have better things to do. like defend the universe from suicidal/exploding mindless aliens, while simultaneously catching up on the latest episode of 30 rock/the office/it's always sunny in philidelphia/house on hulu.com (dual monitors ftw).
but even i have some yearly traditions (like clipping my toenails and taking a nap). one of my personal favorites is looking up the new despair.com calendar. here are some of the new ones which really tickle my pickle.
