This weekend: A discovery

This weekend my friends at I went to one our favorite spots: Copabanana on 40th and Spruce, on the campus of University of Penn. Me and my girlfriends (who I’ve known since high school: Girls High 246ers!) love this place so much because of the good margaritas. They have so many flavors you can combine to create your favorite margarita. They BEST part is, they give you the metal container they make the drink out of, so that you actually get 3-4 margaritas out of it!!!! Even better, they have this appetizer called the, Copa Combo, which me and my friend Zenobia in particular are dedicated fanatics of. The Copa Combo consists of a few juicy and crispy chicken tenders, buffalo wings, and best of all, three lovely potato skins adorned with bacon and accompanied by sour cream. The potato skins are so good, that we refuse to go to the Copabanana on South Street, because that restaurant discontinued the potato skins! Crazy right! So anyways, this past weekend my friends and I went to Copa’s had our Copa Combo’s and this time instead of getting a margarita, I decided to get a Mojitio, hence my newest discovery. Many people have tried a Mojito before, my friend Geremi, absolutely loves Mojitos. I decided to give it a try, and have found a favorite new drink. I’m not sure exactly what goes in the drink, except for the mint leaves and sugar cane that give it this great minty limeade type of taste to me. It’s not overwhelming sweet or a super strong drink; however, it does have a beautiful effect.

As I Am, Alicia Keys new cd!

First of all...I clearly out of the loop because I wasn't even aware that she had a cd coming out. So when I heard it, my reaction was one of shock and embarassment, because I consider my self a serious Alicia Keys fan. Her music is always so authentic and soulful. Music you can feel. I have all of her cds and have always made a point to buy "the real thing" when it came to her cd's, as well as, some of my other favorite artists like Outkast. Newho... when I went to Target in hopes of catching her cd on sale for $1o-11, (right after black friday...what was I thinking.. I dont know), only to be heart broken as they were sold out. I went to Borders only to be disappointed again. Though as a fan though, I am happy and proud of her success, but I must admit I "feel some typa way" about not being able to purchase her cd at a discount. I have heard the cd is really good and can't wait to hear it. Thus, the thrifty person that I am, I decided to buy it off Amazon.com, where one is always guareenteed a good price for cds and dvds.
Amazon is the 'truth'. I have purchase many cd's from the site for amounts ranging from .99cent to 7.00$...sure the cd is "used" but they have always been in like-new conditions.
Amazon is work checking out. http://www.amazon.com/
