Conspicuous consumption is a great way to avoid doing anything useful, right?

Oh, man. Guess what came in the mail today?

That's right, the Sharper Image catalog.

They've got the Lord of the Rings pinball machine.

Only $5000.

Order before December 9, and they can deliver it in time for Christmas!

No. Must be strong. Must conserve financial resources for mortgage and piano funds.

But maybe, just maybe, I tried to find the pinball machine on Amazon.com, so I could add it to my wish list....

Hooray! :] I'm so glad that you're hoping to come!

Um, so, but... I can't find the details anymore. I seem to vaguely recall that flying into LAX is better than flying into Ontario, but after that I don't even remember whose house it's at, and best of all New Year's Eve is on a Friday this year and I work Thursday-Saturday so it's time to start schedule-wrangling bigtime at work, yes indeedy.... (um, if you could post a link here or email more information to me, that would be most excellent).

Hmm. No dates, no addresses. I guess this is going to be one of those gigs where I post my arrival information on LJ and hope for the best? My inner curmudgeon points out that sooner or later, cell phones will completely destroy advance plans, but dang. And now I feel all old and crotchety, yes it do.

Please refresh the page. You must have visited it just before I updated it to include stuff that was sent out through email.

Ironically, what it's lacking is their cell phone numbers because I couldn't seem to find them... :]
