B is for 'burbs, and boring.

On Tuesday, Sarah and I went to Oak Park for the day. I had not been there since junior year of high school, for a choir competition, and during that time I only really saw the inside of Oak Park River Forest High. We walked around in the various shops but there was nothing super interesting. There was a really cool toy store, however, where I purchased a finger puppet, a wind up alligator, and a present for Will for Christmas. And at a store called Gifts and Bonzais, I found a cute little mushroom shaped tea light holder. It looks psychedelic and is another addition to my room looking slightly more drug sympathetic haha
Sarah and I also went to Guitar Center, and this guy Aaron was working. He's this dude I've been talking to thru myspace for a while and we text every now and then. It was weird to meet in person for the first time. Awkward. But he seemed happy to have someone visit him at work. We played with the keyboards/synths. I really want a new one. I want to sell my yamaha that I got about 10 years ago and buy this one that I saw there. Its made by NORD.
Its red and its gorgeous. Aaron can get me a discount, but it's still going to be around a grand. :(
Tuesday was also election day, and as we all know now, Obama won the presidency over McCain. Will, Sarah, and I watched the last hour or so of election coverage. Grant Park looked packed. I'm just glad nothing bad happened and no riots broke out.

Yesterday I came home to my parents' house. Went to Target and surprisingly found lots of clothing for Will for Christmas. I can safely say, I'm pretty well set as far as xmas gifts for him goes. I'll get another couple little things though, I'm sure. Today was pretty boring. Mom and I went to lunch and Borders and Best Buy looking for Beatles Yellow Submarine on DVD. That's four places I've been to now that don't have it. I guess I have to order it online.

Ogie is taking pictures of me tomorrow. I have to drive down to his school in Bourbonnais to meet him. He wants me to wear my Halloween costume. I hope he takes some good ones so I can have copies and give one to Will. oooh that would be another good xmas gift. Professional picture of me in my Super Girl costume to put on his wall. At least then his whole closet door full of Super Girl photos will have me up there too. Is it stupid to be jealous of a comic book character??? Cause sometimes I am.
