Hellfire and damnation on you Amazon!

So I preorder Hot Fuzz weeks in advance, at the 'expensive' Amazon price of £16.99 instead of play's £15.99 because they had pretty 'artcards' with it. They dispatch it and then drop the goddamn price to £15.98.

I *don't care* that £1 makes no difference in the great scheme of things. I don't care that it wouldn't pay my bus fare. I only care that Amazon are the sneakiest little bastards on the planet.

Giving you a card of FAIL here Amazon. Total fail.

In News Of My Life, hotel for Ireland is sorted (it was the one I thought it was and yes, I have a room and yes, it's easy to get a taxi to from the airport though I can't have an early check-in and there's going to be entertainment finding somewhere to get changed. At least I'll have a *bed* to sleep in, which is a definite plus.) Now I just need to find out which church I'm meant to be heading for. Somehow.

I really need to start filing things like invitations in an easy-to-find system. Really.

edit: Also while I'm on LJ (since I don't know how much time I'll have before Ireland on Wed. morning now): Advent Children was confusing but pretty. Wish they'd do a movie for FFVIII which I actually *understand the background* for. Plus it never gets old watching the universe annoy Squall for funsies.

I bought way too many clothes today but the 'rent paid for some. Yay! They're all very pretty clothes. Double yay! Got cool black shoes (finally) but wore them while shopping and they rub like a bitch. Sort-of-yay!

Left all my jackets in Lancaster because I thought it was too warm for them but now suspect I'll be wandering through the centre of Dublin in a corset top at 2pm with nothing to put over it. Will look mighty foolish. Back-up plan needed.

...Nope. That's all I got.

(no subject)

Sainsburys had Hot Fuzz (exactly the same thing I paid £16.99 for, except minus the artcards) for £9.87. Spent the entire shopping trip pondering if I could buy it and return the Amazon one, if I could buy it and keep both of them, if I could buy it and still give it to Miko after watching it, because *under £10*. It was begging to be bought, only I (read: 'rents but I owe them the money') have spent a *lot* in the last two days.

So I convinced the woman it would make a great Father's Day present and she bought it to be from me and/or my brother. Since said father is away for the week, am currently sitting here staring at it and wondering if he'd really notice that the plastic wrap was gone. Or if I could unwrap it carefully and rewrap it after watching it. Which is ridiculous. I have my own copy waiting for me in Lancaster (which by the way, makes buying this one essentially pointless when I'm going to be at home with my entire DVD collection probably for a while, so we'll have two copies in the house). I get to watch it in three days. I do not need to unwrap this one and watch it. Or the commentaries. Oh god, the *commentaries*. The outtakes.

...

Okay. How do you unwrap a DVD in a way that lets you rewrap it after? Hm.

edit: Oh yeah. DVD plastic wrapping = pwned. Okay, so it wouldn't hold up to a proper close inspection because the jagged line where I didn't cut straight along the bottom is just visible (felt vaguely silly slicing through DVD wrapping with a sharp kitchen knife) but it being in a cardboard cover meant it was easy to slide out and back in without actually having to take the plastic off the cover. Plus the sellotape totally blends in seamlessly.

...I am a Bad Person. That said, I've read books before giving them to people before so perhaps I should've known that already.

Every commentary I listen to by Simon and Edgar makes me want to slash them more. Even though I shouldn't and should be writing one of the million other bunnies, *anything*, but I want to. It would be cute. Cute is justification for anything. Recent evidence: Lee/Keith. Would be cute. Is therefore justifiable. Things like baby!Converse and those mini bottles of shampoo they make for going on holiday; they are cute, ergo they're for the win. (Also small = cuter in the vast majority of cases. Fact. In no way influenced by my lack of height.)

Typed this edit in the dark. Typing in the dark. Like bartending in the dark, only with more abuse of the English language.
