It was kinda last-notice too, considering my <a href="http://alienversusrobot.blogspot.com/2007/12/spring-break.html">inability to keep track of time</a>, but hey, aliens don't need to pay attention to such trifling details like Earth time measurements. I needed to get a Christmas present for Elle, so I flew on down to the Buy More in the outlet mall. My girl Elle is a classy gal who just wants to make her daddy proud, so I bought her this hi-tech surveillance system so she can spy on her dad 24/7. It's a much better system than the surveillance I had running on Claire's house, which consisted mostly of webcams hidden in trees. I also bought Elle this <a href="http://www.cafepress.com/buy/slusho/-/pv_design_prod/p_1340605.150868895/pNo_150868895/id_20774343/fpt_/opt_/c_666/pg_1">tight little t-shirt with the Slusho logo on it</a>. Mmm, mmm, Slusho... When I was at the Buy More, I ran into Claire's little brother Sylvester (?) in the computer aisle blogging on <a href="http://adammonroe.blogspot.com/2007/12/guest-posteradam-is-currently-busy.html">Adam's site</a>. I would have offered Sly a lift to the party, but I figured that it'd be hard enough flying there while carrying all of Elle's presents. Not to mention the fact that I want to interact with Claire as little as possible. But I see he got here all right anyway. Yeah, I think this is the best Christmas party ever: My parents aren't around, I've got an awesome girlfriend I can sneak under the mistletoe, and maybe I can take that mistletoe and use it to poison the eggnog and get rid of the company once and for all! But I've got this really weird feeling that I know the guy serving muffins from somewhere, and I don't know why. He just seems so familiar...Wait! I know where I've seen him before! Can you believe that Mos Def was invited to this party? The day just keeps getting better and better! </div>Westhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05183103128403640972noreply@blogger.com
