Recent outcry from our angry readers demands a new post to the FogelBlog. Well, okay, only one person said something like "aren't you ever gonna update that?" And here you have it -- the post that will land these bloggers a book deal! Actually, the reason the blog hasn't been updated in some time is that we Fogelpeople have nothing to do as of late! Work is boring, we're free from school obligations, and neither of us has ever had a social life, so there's really nothing about which to write. If the other Fogelperson has any complaints about the assertions made in this entry, he should take it up with his editor.
Anyway, I guess there's nothing left to discuss but the events which fill us all with anxiety and dread at this time of year -- the HOLIDAYS!! Having gone shopping 2 of the last 4 days, one of which in what must be one of the busiest shopping areas around, I can say that my anxiety levels are at an all time high. Yes, I've made appropriate purchases for many of my family members and loved ones, but now I have them hidden away in my closet and am counting down the minutes until I see the looks on their faces which register with me later as having meant "I know we all say it's the thought that counts, but you really thought I would like this? Jerk." On top of that, I have yet to acquire gifts for people who play a tertiary role in my life, but have INEXPLICABLY decided that they will be getting me Christmas gifts this year. My concerns about the commercialism of this great day have been replaced by the dark cloud of impersonal and frantic gift giving.
I suppose it is only fitting to have some kind of resolution to this blog entry, but as of yet I've got nothing. Any loyal readers (as we know there was at least one) who have tips for what to buy for those people about whom you know pretty much nothing can provide a kind of interactive conclusion to this one, and ease my troubled mind. Happy holidays, everyone!
