    I slept

    Well, I completely messed this up, didn’t I? I’m not even new to this game. I was able to snag a PS5 for my son at 2 AM from the online store of a grocery chain. I preordered cameras before. I knew I had to be awake, online, or call ahead to be on the…

  • Let’s face it – you suck at photography
