Black Friday

~ Veselin ~ 4 Comments

It’s Friday and this little fellow is mostly black.

Black Friday in Bulgaria started today. I’m having hard time finding stuff I want to buy. The book discounts are worse than what I’d get a month from now during the winter book fair. I’ve been eyeing a pair of headphones but their discounted price from today matches their regular price from a month ago. The last sweatshirt I ordered is now with a 70% discount but still 2 euro more expensive than the price I paid for it a month ago without a 70% discount. Maybe I’ll get new shoes. My Revel Max didn’t get any better from the time I posted about it. It is on sale with 50% off, as long as you’re wearing 42.5.

I fail to get excited about any of that but the kitten above is cool.

New Stats

I got enrolled to the new Jetpack Stats on my blog. Comparing to a previous period is now simpler and the overall look is smoother. I got an unexpected traffic spike to celebrate the switch.

I’d love to see some filtering for the Chinese bots that have been plaguing my site but hopefully soon. It can be sorted out with a plugin but I keep it simple for testing purposes. I don’t think I’ve ever had a real visitor come and say hi from China.

What is a good friend

Has your idea of what makes a good friend changed as you’ve gotten older?

Well, we need two definitions. What it was and what it is now.

The meaning of the word “friends” used to be something like “people who are kind to me and stick around”. However, my friends started families, moved to other countries, had kids, changed jobs and so on. They spread and mostly no longer stick around, and so did I. It’s difficult to see them or talk to them whey I do, they’re still the same people, just a bit older. Also, slowly losing contact with old friends leaves room for making new friends.

So, I guess, not that much changed.
