...but I'll get to that in a moment.
Earlier, I was reading an article on Dubya's wiretaps. This isn't the interesting part.
Near the end of the article is this:
Anyway! I had some shopping to see to today - namely, finding a cheaper price for a big box of Buffy, only to be confronted by a new public transport horror...
a barricade of small children, on the bus, in their mammoth off-road vehicles of DOOOOM. They started out waiting like some kind of under-three Deeping Wall, and then filed on moments before I got to the doors. They shuffled in, parents moving their children about like some weird puzzle lifted straight from The Seventh Guest, and then assembled themselves into a kind of public transport Minas Tirith. Row after row of child walls, before - at the back - steps led to a raised area with vacant seats.
Soon, the children started making loud and unpleasant noises; the public transport Minas Tirith turned - in seconds - into a kind of public transport Minas Morgul. My head still hurts.
*finds ibuprofen and waits to feel better*
And now, the part that I've been waiting for - OMGWTFBtVS, Part Two.
Remember the big box? I've found it for... *drumroll* $260, maybe $255 if I'm in luck.
New. Untouched. Full of Slayer goodness. This week. Their very last copy in stock, and that's because it's being transferred from the other side of town.
So, squeeeeeeeee!
Lastly, if you have a not-IE browser, then go clickity here, and look at the tab the page is in. Or the address bar, or the title bar for the window if you must. And... there's a teensy tiny little Marvin (with his own little miniature bookstore with its own little tiny nano-coffee-bar).
And that's it for today.

Now this, as you may imagine, amused me some. And that set my mind to thinking about just how the results of that might pan out, so... ( cut for length. ) And I laughed at my imagination, and all the other people stared.During the question and answer session, Mr Bush was asked whether he had seen Brokeback Mountain, a gay cowboy love story, starring the Australian Heath Ledger.
Mr Bush feigned ignorance of the film, but said he was interested in cowboys and urged the questioner to go and see cowboys do their work.
"But no, I haven't seen that film, not yet anyway. It's a film about cowboys, you say? Well, we'll see," he said.
