According to Amazon, my Avengers DVD will be arriving tomorrow.
Eeep!
That's a whole day earlier than I though I'd get it. Wonder whether I can persuade the parents to have a movie night tomorrow...
My mother has arranged the weekend for me already. It's my day off on Friday so we're going for a long drive down the coast. The parents are bribing me with lunch. And on Saturday we're heading over to the city. I'm hoping that I can persuade them to leave me in the comic shop while they buy very important...stuff...from the outdoor gear shop. I may have blanked a little when Mum was explaining the stuff...
Sunday is always packed with church and family stuff and Skyping with people in England. I'm feeling pretty cruddy and tired today so there's a high chance that at some stage I'll collapse into a sniffly heap of ickness due to the over-booking.
Although Amazon is scoring big points for getting me my Avengers DVD so quickly (I know everyone else went out and bought it yesterday, the way that my week is working out would have meant not getting anywhere near a place to buy it until tomorrow anyway and nowhere seemed to have the DVD/Blu-ray/digital combo, argh) they are losing points over Mercedes Lackey's new book.
Which they said was being released yesterday. They sent me an email today to say that it was out of stock and they had a delay - do I still want it?
No shit, Amazon. If I go to the US store, the release date isn't until October. Just a thought, maybe that's why it's out of stock? Argh!
I'm disappointed but not too angry because I wouldn't have been able to read it this weekend anyway. So maybe it's better if it arrives when I've got a weekend free to be sucked into Valdemar?
I've got to finish at least two more books this months. Tonight shall be dedicated to finishing City of Bones and possibly starting Batwoman: Elegy.
Eeep!
