Effects

Haven't had time to go down to City Music to plonk down the deposit for the new effects board for my guitar. Haven't managed to sell off the old one yet too. And I haven't told mom about it. Sigh. Will she kill me for wasting money when it's better off spent on reference books? But hey, 5 aki books cost the same price as one top-of-the-line effects board! And I already resolved not to spend so much on books this year... Is it justified to buy the effects? *bubble bubble*
