Since I love Christmas shopping and just the whole zanyness of it-I was asked by a lady to get something off the top shelf-, I thought I would give the top ten tips for holiday shopping, as you can see.
10. Eat plenty, that way you’ll have plenty of nutrition.
9. Get plenty of sleep and wear good, comfortable shoes.
8. If you’re getting gifts for a certain person, and they’re with you, create a diversion, but whatever you do, don’t ask them to hold the bag!
7. Avoid long lines by having one person to start waiting in lines for you, and if possible, split into groups and go one at a time throught the express checkout.
6. Plan out where you want and need to go, and make a schedule.
5. If someone else takes something right before you, don’t get upset. Do like my cousin and follow them until they’re not looking and take it out of their cart.
4. Ask the person what they want before you just guess, but surprise them.
3. Look for the best deals in the newspaper and make a plan of attack.
2. Take someone with you to help out, trust me, it makes it a whole lot better.
1. Make a list. This is an extremely important part.

One of my most anticipated movies since I have heard about it is I am Legend, a new horror/action/sci-fi movie starring Will Smith. The story follows Robert Neville (Smith), a scientist who helped develop a virus that wiped out all of the world population except him….or so he thinks. Soon the “infected” are attacking, and he is on a mission to stop them and find some way to bring back his wife and daughter. The movie has had its ups and downs, first starting way back in the 90s. Tom Cruise was in talks to be the main star, but after being picked up and dropped twice, once being directed by Micheal Bay, they settled with Smith. When I first saw the trailer for this, I think I was in either Transformers or something else, but it immediately looked interesting. The movie was especially demanding for Smith, being as he’s nearly the only one in the movie. They did have other people on set, but post-production later just went in and edited them out. This movie looks to be great, and another great movie by Will Smith. If I decide to go see National Treasure 2 over this, it will definitely be a must-watch on DVD. I Am LEgend lonely walks into theaters Friday, December 14, and is rated PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi action and violence. Below is the trailer.

Whether you’re sharing how your day went or watching Deal or No Deal with the family, no household should be without the fireplace. With the combination of this and hot cocoa, it makes for a near-perfect night, especially around Christmas time.

The Mythbusters took on a whole plane load of new airplane myths in their new special last night, and they crash landed a few myths, but saved a few at the last minute. For the first myth, let me recreate the scene. Both the pilot and the co-pilot are unconscious, and it’s up to one of the passengers with the help of someone on the ground in the radio tower to guide him down without seeing any of the pilot’s instruments. They found the myth plausible. Although Jamie and Adam were able to bring the plane down safely with the help of ground control in the flight simulator, this has never happened in aviation history-EVER! Also, if this were to happen, the passenger could simply flip a few switches and the plane would land itself.
They also tested whether you can have a conversation while skydiving-BUSTED and if one guy jumps out an airplane with his arms spread out, and then another jumps out with a streamline position 15 seconds later and catches up-CONFIRMED.
