Damn. Damndamndamndamndamn. 2003

Back in June I pre-ordered the Extended Edition DVD of Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers.

This weekend I read two weblog entries by people who'd already watched it, so I expected that it would be waiting for me today at work (where I have things shipped since we haven't got a mailslot in our door). I was already anticipating the bliss of the extra 43 minutes of footage, of hours & hours of special features, after waiting 6 months to be able to pre-order it and 5 months for it to be released.

This morning (why not weeks ago, Amazon? Huh? why not weeks ago? or when I logged in to place other orders?) I got a notification from Amazon that they hadn't shipped my order because the credit card I used to pre-order it had expired.

Don't expect me to be cheerful today.

Blog (noun) A weblog or similar brief journal usually containing links and commentary thereon. Term coined by Peter Merholz.
Visit Typepad or Blogger to start your own. (I began with hand coding, then switched to Blogger when it first became available, then to Movable Type when I wanted more control over my weblog and to have it hosted at a place of my choosing (Hurricane Electric). Now I use Typepad, built by the same folks who made Movable Type and I love it).
