Black Friday 2010

So it’s been 5 years since my first Black Friday post. I had been shopping during the holiday season before but that was my first time shopping on Black Friday. I didn’t line up for any crazy deals. I just wanted to see what was on sale.

This year, I decided to do some research beforehand so I could get some good deals. BFAds.net came in really handy since they listed a lot of deals ahead of Black Friday.

Off to Canada!

Well, I’m off to Canada tomorrow for a few days. We’re driving there. I’m hoping that the hotel we’re staying at for 2 nights in Niagara Falls has internet access.

I’m such a photo geek, I’m taking my Brownie Fiesta R4, my Lomo LC-A, and my PowerShot S500. I plan on taking loads of photos with the first two and leaving the third mostly to my dad. Don’t worry, I’ll take photos with the PowerShot and try to upload them to sweet nothings!

What will I be doing now that my headphones are busted? I’m gonna play Animal Crossing on my DS Lite. It’s such an awesome game. If anyone wants to share friend codes with me, send me a message here.

Anyway, I need to get up at like 4 in the morning, so I’d better bounce.

Some Quick Stuff

I haven’t blogged in a while. Why? I’ve been really busy and I’m almost always too tired to write. That’s why I’ve decided to post a list of things I want to say.

  • I got two tickets to the Decemberists’ show in November.
  • Recently, I got a lot of money because of the amount of hours I put into the after school program.
  • The NYC subway system is an amazing thing. You get to see so many different kinds of people everytime you ride a train.
  • It’s been super hot in New York these past few days.
  • I helped design a blog for YoYoNation, where they sell quality yoyos.
  • Jamba Juice is a life saver during the summer time.
  • I just realized that I can look for a photo lab near work and drop my film off during lunch.

That’s it for now.

A Review of the Nintendo DS Lite

New Super Mario Bros.

Recently, I had the pleasure of splurging on a Nintendo DS Lite with my birthday money. Let me say, it is one hell of a system. Just like Glen, this is my first system I’ve had in a long time. My last system was the original Game Boy Advance, which is so old now it’s missing its battery cover.

The DS Lite looks very nice. I didn’t like the look of the original DS so I didn’t want to get it last year. I’m into the sleek, minimalistic look, thanks to Apple, and the DS Lite has it going on. I’m not ashamed to carry it around in front of people with PSPs.

I didn’t feel like waiting for the other colors to come in the US, so I went ahead and bought the white one the day it came out. EB Games decided to get only enough DS Lites for people who reserved it. Best Buy was nice and had a lot in stock. All I had to do was go to the cashier and they’d get me one.

Originally, I had planned to get both New Super Mario Bros. and Brain Age. When I was at Best Buy, I decided to get just New Super Mario Bros. because my mom would be paying for it seeing as to how I had barely enough money for just the system.

New Super Mario Bros. is a really addictive game. It’s amazing how easy the bosses are yet how hard the levels are. I can’t wait till I meet up with others with DS’s. Pretty sure that’ll be fun.

T-Shirt Sale!

Threadless is having one of their $10 sales again. Gotta get some tees badly, man. I’m tired of wearing the same tees every week. Go get some!
