1. Only 36 hours until I get to buy the Veronica Mars and Arrested Development DVDs! Yes, it's Holy Tuesday in Alannaland. A tip for those who want to get one or both: Target has VM for $40 and AD for $28... but if you take the Target ad to Circuit City, they have a Price Match Guarantee that will get you both for Target's price, along with an ( Read more... )

Ahhh. I miss autumns in GA. Le sigh. Enjoy the leaves!

Oh, I definitely will. Might even try to head up to the mountains next weekend. Whee!

The later episode was "Mars vs. Mars."

I really liked the commentary. And Adam and Eddie's episode airs this week!

Thanks for the clarification. ;)

Where did you look for ticket prices to India? If you go through Indian travel agents, you can get better deals than mainstream sites. Just don't (and I mean DON'T) travel via aeroflot.

Alas, the problem is that even if we go through a cheaper travel agent, airfare for all of us would still be tons more than we can possibly afford right now. *sigh*

Hey! You can't take it back. I've got plans for it.

Hee! I've already crocheted nearly 18" so far tonight -- I'm on a roll, baby. And omigod, I chose the BEST yarn (even though I'm going to have to buy more, and it's too damned expensive. ;) It's super-soft and absolutely gorgeous. Might just make myself one, too!

6. Filling up my teensy little Hyundai Elantra today cost $42 (and no snarking about how gas prices are higher elsewhere, okay?) When I called my parents, Dad told me to stop driving so much. Hmph. I drive tons; I just don't go very far. In the two years since I bought it, I've racked up a grand total of 14,000 miles. My six-mile daily commute certainly helps.

Actually, 14,000 miles in two years is way under the average of 10,000 miles a year. (Or was it 12,000? This was a fun fact I learned about 6 years ago when I was looking into buying a used car.) Not that it's making gas any cheaper. I never thought it would cost $30 to fill my 12 gallon Saturn either.

Exactly! It's funny -- when I first moved here, I was driving 40 miles daily to/from work, and I put almost 20K miles on my car in one year. Since I wised up and moved close to work, I'm now averaging less than 8,000 miles annually. ;) Dad was teasing about me driving too much, and hey, I'll definitely get my money's worth out of that Hyundai warranty.

Sounds like your gas is cheaper -- I'm jealous. We're currently up to $3.07/gallon.... which is still cheap compared to many, but given how much MORE Atlantans drive than most everyone else, it's really hitting us hard.

Up in Fairbanks we're at about $2.78 a gallon and slowly creeping upward. I'm assuming because there's oil up here that is why we're a bit below normal.
