Boxing is the theme of this post:

First of all, horray!, Rocky has another movie. I am very excited.

Second, boxing day. This is my time to shine, my 'Christmas' in a commercial sense. (I love the family and visiting side of regualr christmas, hate thhe commercialism) I am excited, and started my routine, which involves buying the paper the week before, not missing one. Still no ads yet. It is a wierd year cause the S.P. would normally print them on 24th, but taht is a Sunday, and they can't wait till boxing day to run it.

I was able to get some info from Futureshop. They open at 6 a.m. this year on boxing day.

I love the earlier openning times. Less waiting, and it weeds out the weak. I will aim to be in line shortly before 3 a.m. if there is something really good. Really, we are left with 2, maybe 3 good choices this year. Futureshop, visions, and maybe compu smart. And a door crasher is not a door crasher unless better than half price, and saving at least $200. We lost the legendary king of boxing day, A and B sound. They were also the only palce we had to buy non mainstream CD's.

Maybe my dad will join me this year, he will be in town. He is the one who taught me how to boxing day shop, taught me that all good deals to be had were off the shelves before 8 a.m., hopefully we reunite the team. Student and teacher.

I would tell you what I am hoping for out there, but that is generally not done in the boxing day lines, we are friends till the doors open, then jsut hope you are not going for the same thing as me.

Bye Buy, and a Merry christmas to my readers.

I considered putting something on your list for me and $190(hopefully) of Futureshop gift cards in your pocket but I may just wait for a 500GB external hard drive to descend to $200 and buy it then. :)

Yeah, so the Future Shop boxing day flyer comes out today & what do I see but the exact external hard drive I had my eye on (and as per my previous comment for the exact price I commented) and cheap cheap flash drives. There is no way I'd be in that lineup but boy I could go for those products.
