This is hilarious.

So.  The big news of today is that I FINALLY FREAKING GOT MY IPOD BACK.  But not without a struggle, I assure you.  This morning I called the customs people, who were very nice, and told me to call this company called ParcelForce, which basically handles any parcels that come into the U.K.  So I call them, and go through this like twenty minute ( Read more... )
