Books? Oh no, you didn't buy more books...


the plastic tub and bag are filled with books

The Lakewood Friends of the Library Booksale was Saturday. I don't really even need to write the rest of this post, because you already know what happened. We showed up 30 minutes early, we waited in line, and after the doors opened we stampeded and shoved the elderly aside to snatch up used books.

I'm super pissed at myself re: dvd movies on digital versatile discs. "All DVDs $2", read the sign. So in a multi disc television season boxed set, one would not be out of line to assume that EACH DISC would be two dollars. Ergo, a three disc set should cost $6, right? On this assumption I passed up every season of Third Rock from the Sun (well, I don't want it, but someone might), several seasons of The Sopranos (yes, I already have them, but my friends might not) and sealed copies of both seasons of Rescue Me (I could have given it to my parents for xmas). The only thing I bought was a sealed copy of Twin Peaks Season 2 (which, yes I already netflixxed, but it was too good a deal to miss). Upon check out, it was revealed that the boxed sets were $2 each. For the whole thing. It was like a dagger in my chest. It was so upsetting that it actually tainted my buying the Twin Peaks for $2, because I missed out on all the others.

In the macro, it doesn't matter because I didn't need or want them, it just really hurts me to miss out on such a good deal. Does that make me an old woman? I think it does.
