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."

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?

I just doublechecked mine (because all the cool kids are doing it), and it's just hanging out in Cincinnati, waiting.
WANT.
I also found a used copy of a book I had when I was a kid, which I had forgotten the title of. It's a collection of stories about princesses, all of whom are not stereotypical waiting-for-a-prince passive princesses. Not a Sleeping Beauty among them. Instead, the stories are about princesses who overcome evil curses, outsmart a dragon who's about to attack the castle, and make peace with a mean giant.
Because I never rely on Occam's razor, when I couldn't remember the title of this book about princesses, I tried googling all kinds of related keywords.
Anyway, I eventually found it. The title? The Princess Book. Of course.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Amazon says mine will be here "July 23-27." Surely they're just fucking with me, right?
