cabbitzillaMorning quests were successful, netting the new Harry Potter novel and the first two volumes of Robotech on DVD (Best Buy's got 'em for $9.99... but I had to hit -FOUR- of em before I found the second volume). Found out in Borders Books that they were getting a -sizeable- influx of very pissed off people from Barnes & Noble... who had extended the 'reserved orders only' period till Wednesday, after advertising normal purchases starting today. A poor decision on B&N's part; while I stood and chatted with the clerk in a href="http://www.borders.com" target="_blank">Borders (someone I've known for a goodly number of years), no fewer than 40 -former- B&N customers steamed through to get a copy of the book. I don't know if it's a corporate level decision or just the stores here in the Baltimore/Annapolis area, but it was a -seriously- bad call given the temper level and the comments made.
Tsk. I like Borders better anyway, though Best Buy and Suncoast Video (a chain owned by, oddly enough, Best Buy) neatly dominate my mainstream anime needs.
*swoon*
Mail just arrived, and with it one of the cds that we ordered from the 'summer sale' catalog BMG sent out. Four cds were ordered for me, somewhere around a half dozen for Megan, so odds were in favor of some of her stuff showing before the more obscure selections I'd made. I very carefully pried open the cardboard shipping wrap, expecting to find yet another Bon Jovi cd for Megan (honestly, he's got a couple of good songs, but... sheesh, I think she owns everything he's done now. It's not like he's premiere talent like Iced Earth or Johnny Cash...) and out slid... Abigail from King Diamond. One of mine. The one that's almost guaranteed to freak Megan out. :p *purrrs* Mmmmmmmm. NICE music. Calming, soothing, nurturing music about vampires and evil walking the land and other delightful things. *grins* I think I'll put it in the cd player in the car to treat her to it... where she CANNOT ESCAPE! Muahahahahahahah....*coughcoughcough*
Anyway. Um... well, I need to go get her in a few minutes, so I prolly should wrap this up.

I'm with you on Suncoast as well when it comes to anime! Though they disappointed me by not having the InuYasha soundtrack when last I was there.
Love,
