i had to look up black friday to find out what it was. as you might know, we do thanksgiving quite a bit earlier up here.. i think thanksgiving sunday is usually the second sunday in october, and then the following monday is a holiday.

Decided that, i'm just going to hit up a few stores and see what happens..couple things had peaked my interest at first (hdtv's for instance), but, don't wanna do that right now...I know I'll be loading up on blank media, who knows after that..

Gonna be manning a Buy Nothing Day booth on this day of utmost consumerism.
But I won't preach here. Go shop and bitch about the world.

I went to Di Bellas (sub resteraunt, not sure fi you guys have those where you live) and got a cheesesteak. I went into the mall parking lot across the street from the place to eat it forgetting what today was. The lot was packed. Alot of idiot drivers. I'm glad I wasn't in the mall shopping.

I did a lot of Holiday buying today ... but all online :)
I got my girlfriend a whole bunch of digital camera stuff:

Kodak Easyshare Z730, 5 MP Digital Camera ($215), Kodac Printer Dock ($130), Trikon Camera kit (a tri-pod and a carrying case), and a 512 MB SD Card ($40 together). All off of NewEgg ... $11 for shipping of all of those things. Came to about $400 ... but this will cover me until at least her birthday.

My friend and I actually went to Circuit City and he got the 51" HDTV marked from $1300 to $800. Not a bad deal... I was thinking of it too, but didn't get it.

i went to circut city, and thank god one of my friends works there, they had 512 MB sandisk SD cards on sale for $9.99 he grabbed me a bunch before they opened, and handed them to me when i walked in around 4pm. the cashier's face was priceless "but.. we sold out of these at 8:30! where the hell did you find seven of them?!" i swear i almost got mauled on the way out of there. i plan on keeping at least one for myself. then everybody i would actually buy a gift for has something that uses an SD card, so that'll be a nice little add-on to whatever i'm already getting them.
