For my moviegoing public -- Secretary
Oct. 18th, 2004 07:59 pm( Secretary )
In unrelated news, Chris Tilley copied a CD for me, Danse Macabre by The Faint. Never heard of them, and I put off listening to it for a week because he copies lots of stuff for me that is really "eh." Not this, though. This rocked my world. Sort of old school techno 80s-ish, with an early Ministry/Orgy feel.....hard to describe, but just awesome. He was really happy I finally liked something. Poor guy.
I also plan to be at Best Buy's front door first thing in the morning for the release of Arrested Development Season One GAH. Because I can't live for one minute longer than I have to without this piece of wonderfulness in my life. And neither can you.

update/edit: I lied. Upon opening my eyes this morning I realized I could go to Walmart that very minute and get AD instead of waiting for lazy Best Buy to finally crawl out of bed around 10 or so. I realize that Walmart is inherently evil for using child labor and discriminating against female employees, plus I heard a rumor once that they get special "cleaner" versions of some movies and I'm sorry, I don't think any store has the right to decide what I as an adult should and shouldn't watch (their shelves were conspicuously free of any copies of Secretary too). But as you will see this is all a moot point.
I didn't expect a full palette-sized display of AD. But I also didn't expect no copies whatsoever. The video guy gave me some song-and-dance about UPS making a delivery at about 11. Nice try guy, but I inventory these backrooms and I know they get titles weeks in advance, in tightly sealed boxes with dire warnings about opening them before the street release date. On my way out the door I briefly debated going to the other Walmart on my street, or waiting for Best Buy after all. I opted instead to take my business to the kindler, gentler Target. Because patience is a virtue, just not one of mine. For $2 more, the sexiness was mine. I briefly debated picking up Greg the Bunny too, but decided that was far less urgent.
The good news is a quick stop in Sporting Goods revealed that where there were three Ab Lounges, now there were ten. So I guess![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mooselet was right that there really is no hurry.
