My Mother is Obsessed With CSI
Update on the DVD situation!
We went to Hastings. I got my gifts, and my folks decided instead of trying to find what I would want, to just have me pick out stuff. And they wanted to be sure they got me the right DVD set, so I took them over to the TV boxed sets cabinet. I'm looking at the 'Cs', and my mother, again, while she has her list in hand, points out all the CSI seasons.
I repeat again, it is not CSI I'm looking for, it's Criminal Minds.
"But they have a lot of CSI DVDs...."
*headdesk*
I do not like CSI. I've tried to watch it, can't get into it. I do not want CSI. It's like Green Eggs and Ham, I swear. I will not watch it eating pie, I will not watch it with a spy, I will not, will not watch CSI.
Anyway! Finally find Season 2 of Criminal Minds on DVD. For 20$. My dad starts arguing that I wanted season 1. Yes, but season 2 is just as awesome - moreso, in some ways - and it's the only one they have, and it's only 20 bucks. For like 7 DVDs. We get it. I pick out a couple of other things - Wit and Wisdom of Discworld, the next Dresden Files novel - and we head over to the anime section because my dad said I could get the first two special edition Death Note DVDs. I am thrilled. They come with action figures! I need these DVDs! Or, at least the action figures that come with them!
Hastings doesn't have them. I am broken and defeated. Best Buy didn't have them. We looked everywhere we possibly could for them, and could not find them anywhere. They have them online, but I cannot buy online. I am just going to hope that they're still available after Christmas, when I have my new bank account set up.
But! The local Hasting's inability to properly price any import action figure has paid off yet again. Found a couple of Kotubukiya limited edition figures that I see going on Ebay for around 100$ for 12$ each. I grabbed them and will be selling them. Mmm, profit. And yet...their overstocked Bome figures are still going for 40$. WTF, Hasting's? WTF? (There was a 1985 limited edition Bunny Girl for only 25$, but I didn't like the composition and pose. And the Bunny Girls are cheap at cons, I can probably find it for like 10$, like all the other Bunny Girls I have.)
Now it is time to wrap! OH! THAT REMINDS ME!
