Black Friday should get renamed to Black n Blue Friday. You should see the bruise on my boob, and I narrowly escaped an elbow to the face. Black Friday is craziness. CRAZINESS.

So my dad phoned in last night.  Apparently, I have a cousin in the city...?  Any Sinclairs lying about?

By the by, would anyone be able to recommend a local spa or salon?  I'm still unaware of this city's little gems and quirks.
