Much Better!

I had a bit of a personal issue regarding a convention I'm going to later in the year. I won't go into details, but I'm glad I have good friends. They all came through to distract me and keep me entertained while it worked itself out. Well, I donated over 9000 grains of rice (before a power outage lost my count! Thank you Hyminia), went through the archives of I can has cheeseburger and Cute Overload (thank you Ginny_t). I paid off the last of my car loan on Friday, and to celebrate my current 100% debt-free status, and to further destract me, I decided to spend money on something completely frivolous and get a DS lite. Of course once I decided that every DS lite in the cny area was immediately snatched up. I spent most of Saturday looking for one. I went to 3 gamestop stores (each one claimed the other had one), an EB Games, Target, and Best Buy with no luck. Then I called Walmart, K-Mart, Circut City and a couple of local stores. =/ No one had one. Then Sunday, I went to BJ's wholesale for something else and there it was, a DS lite bundle that came with two games. The games look pretty stupid, and the only color they had was pink, but I got one! I went back to gamestop and bought a Phoniex Wright game, Elite Beat Angels, Trace Memory and a Spanish Coach game. Then I hit up some craft stores while it was charging. I bought myself a soap-making kit, despite not needing yet another craft to do and played with some shrinky-dinks. I forgot how much fun those are. I'm going to get some more sheets. My cellphone doesn't have a cellphone charm thing, but the DS lite does. Maybe I'll make some zodiac charms to hang off it out of the shrinky-dinks. After it was done charging I played through Trace Memory in one sitting. I'm terrible at games, terrible, so this means it was a pretty easy game. But I enjoyed it and liked the story. Today I read some manga and then went to my friend Margaret's house. We had a good dinner, hung out and watched some anime.
