My sister sent me a $25 Amazon gift card somewhere around 8pm on Wednesday, although I didn't get it 'til after 1am on Thursday...but yeah. I was shopping on Amazon from then 'til about 6am. She sent it to me early b/c I asked her to loan me a $5 apprx Amazon gift card to pay for an Out Of Print DVD edition of THE EXORCIST. I had placed the order, but it wouldn't go through b/c I didn't have any valid form of payment...I had a debit card that my bank deactivated, but Amazon doesn't know that b/c my bank is legally obligated not to tell them (isn't privacy great?). But anyway, my sister sent me the gift card early so that wouldn't be canceled. Turned out the seller didn't have it after all...not sure how/why...kinda rude of him not to send an apology or something more along the lines of an explanation at least...
Anyway; I also bought THE SOUND OF THE SMITHS: THE VERY BEST OF THE SMITHS (that's almost like two titles isn't it?) by The Smiths, a remastered compilation released in 2008. And Michael Jackson's DANGEROUS, Martin Scorsese's 1999 film BRINGING OUT THE DEAD on DVD and Cartel's Sony re-release edition of CHROMA.
I almost bought Jawbreaker's DEAR YOU, been wanting that awhile, but Barnes & Noble dot com has that for over $1 cheaper and I get UPS 3day delivery w/o added cost if my mom buys it on my behalf (she has the membership in her name, I paid for half of it...) and B&N keeps sending me and/or my mom coupons, so if I had the $ b4 X coupon xpired, I'd save at least $2 off Amazon (Marketplace)'s mnm price.
Been listening to Grooveshark the last couple days. MySpace Music's service has been filled with bugs that last couple weeks or more. AVG Anti-virus software told me I had two somethingorother bad thingies on my computer and didn't tell me what I should do about it. I clicked "remove all unhealed" and they told me "forceful removal may cause instability or crash", but I didn't know what else I was supposed to do. Now every time I load a program or window, a warning of a "bad image" loads up. I can ignore it or I can click "OK" and it'll go away. It doesn't seem to interfere with the operation of my computer. Really annoying tho. But while I was trying to perhaps find the source of that b.s., I removed almost 20 programs from my computer including Opera browser and of course I got sick beyond comprehension of Internet Explorer, but I didn't like the way Opera doesn't gel with a lot of websites too well (mainly Amazon, also a few others) so I went back to Firefox after almost a year or more of absence from my computer.
Don't really know what else to say...OH! I got sick for about a day, something that's been going around. My mom's housekeeper seemed to have caught it too and the last time she was here was at least a week ago. I got sick on Monday, the housekeeper was here either Thursday or Friday...my Mom got sick on Friday or Saturday i think...I guess the housekeeper might have caught it from Mom, but I don't think my mom would have been so careless. She called the housekeeper after she found out I was sick and told her not to come b/c of that. But anyway...I think I heard of at least a couple other people who had whatever that was I had. Don't remember what exactly I heard or where, but anyway...
I've been going way too long w/o showers. I finally took one last night and the time before that was either Monday or Tuesday - not the one that just passed, but the one BEFORE that. I mean, I admit, a week w/o a shower isn't healthy or pleasant, although I'm hesitant to take one more often than that just 'cause the act of taking off my clothes, picking new ones out, drying off, and taking the shower itself is a bit of a chore to me. I'd rather just listen to music or talk or drink coffee or read or whatever...but a week and a half is just nonsense. I mean, if this is how long I'm gonna be in between showers in the winter...this past summer the average time between showers was at least 5 days. And that's being generous towards myself. I shouldn't go more than 3 days, if that, and i know there were at least a few times I went over a week w/o one. Of course in Sept, it was way hotter than normal, so I didn't take hardly any showers then. Then toward the end of the month I suddenly realized 'oh, I guess summer's decided to stay a bit longer...'...
And I've neglected this blog obviously. I hope to get this back on a more steady path...maybe make reading it less of a chore...ha!
