i was finally able to buy the cell phone that i wanted. after much searching and researching, i discovered that best buy really did have the best buy. not only did they have the lowest price, but they weren't charging tax on items under $500. to take advantage of this, i also bought a color ink jet printer, 100 CD-Rs, and a dvd for my friend (it was her birthday).

after my electronic shopping spree, i headed over to the village (west) and had dinner with a few friends to celebrate danielle's birthday. i had (very salty) BBQ ribs. we topped it off with some cupcakes from magnolia.

i had to head over to jersey to practice a song with jane. we're singing at a wedding on saturday. i really need to practice my guitar part. it's a bit more challenging than i thought. probably because it's a jazz tune-- a genre i'm not comfortable with... and also because i suck! only 2 more days to practice. i hope it goes well.
