So I haven't mentioned this, but I'm going to Russia! December 13 through to January 4. Staying in Moscow, visiting Petersburg for sure, probably daytripping to Vladimir, maybe going to Stavropol of all places...any recommendations/warnings/requests for Russian consumer goods of various types? I am so excited I could pee on everyone participating in
Buy Nothing Day.
Which brings me to this point: seriously, Buy Nothing Day is idiotic. I don't actually have a point to make, I guess. I think it's self evident, really. If you're in the States, please take advantage of your deep, deep Black Friday discounts. That's all.
