I hate ordering online
I finally got around to ordering my stuff. I ended up getting the rest of Chobits and FLCL, then 2 dvds of Ai Yori Aoshi. I'm going to order Chance Pop Session from rightstuf on Monday cuz they are selling it for $30, the entire series. And it's on my "want to buy" list anyway, so I don't wanna let it pass me by. After that I think I'm gonna take a break for awhile and save up for March. There's a buncha stuff I want in March, plus it would be nice to grab the first few dvds of Boys over Flowers or the first box set of Maison Ikkoku.

Ooohh...I meant to talk about why I hate online ordering. First off, I don't really mean hate, I'll do it again. I completely understand the stuff that happens, but if I could buy this stuff in stores, I'd do that instead. It might be cheaper online, but it's a serious pain in the butt at the same time. It's just easier to go to a store and buy it for like $10 more...but all we have around here is a FYE that sucks or a Gamestop that's an hour away and sorta kicks butt. Or the Best Buy that's 2 hours away if you are really dedicated.

Soooo...I ordered some stuff for Christmas for my roommate at an online store and they were out of stock. Not a big deal I thought, it'll come back soon. (BTW...it was ramune and pocky...not the rarest things on the planet) Anyway, here it is 5 weeks later and I'm still being notified of the backorder. I finally switched that out this week, got the fifth Battle Royale manga and a Sailor Moon keychain for my roommate. And I went to order my anime on...Wednesday I think. I put the money on my roommate's credit card and I used it. Well, the shipping and mailing addresses are different and it took the store a day to verify that we weren't committing fraud or some crap. So, long story short, I'm not getting my anime until Monday. I mean, I competely understand it, they gotta check on that stuff...and I guess that it is okay to have some pocky on backorder...but still, it's a little frustrating. I don't see how people could prefer online shopping to the store kinda shopping.

Guess I'll have a review of something up next weekend. Hopefully sooner, if you don't mind a review of FLCL or something. There's no way I could watch all of Chobits during the week.

Anyway, see ya later. :)
