Oh, Amazon says that the post office is holding my book awaiting customer orders. What does that mean?
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

If it's like the last book release, it most likely means that the post office has your book--whether that means in IL or at the Amazon distribution side, I don't know. But, you'll be getting it tomorrow, for sure!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Possibly it just means that they're taunting you with the fact that IT'S THERE BUT YOU CAN'T HAVE IT MUWAH-HA-HA!

I doublechecked - it's UPS not USPS -- but same thing, right? And I can't have it delivered before tomorrow anyway, right?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I don't know, sumi. Here's what mine says (it's coming UPS though and not USPS):
July 20, 2007 07:50:00 AM FRANKLIN PARK IL US Departure Scan
July 20, 2007 04:44:00 AM FRANKLIN PARK IL US Held by carrier - customer to arrange delivery
I didn't arrange anything, but it left the facility 3 hours later.

Okay, mine LIES and says that the receiver requested a hold and the service is basic -- does that mean I won't get it 'til Monday?

I just went to UPS and here's what they said about mine

I did NOT request a hold!!! Amazon requested it. Which means, UPS would have delivered it today. It's sitting there in Franklin Park. I could be there in 30 minutes. But, I bet they wouldn't give it to me, huh?
