I love Amazon. Ithink I did about 85% of my Christmas shopping last night. Yup, the internet is back at home and nevermind what I said about maybe not needing it. I was indeed drunk when I wrote that rubbish. Internet is joyous. Internet is loverly. Internet is right.
Cable is good too, makes the knitting less quiet.
The only problem with my Amazon order is that I am a cheap bastard and by selecting free shipping all my items are now coming in 5 separate packages. It is now 12 Shipping Days Before I Go Home (an old holiday classic) and really, this is not the moment to be playing roulette with time.
To further the suspense, the estimated shipping date for my last package is December 21. I am driving to SF December 22. This package is a present for my mom and dad. There is this very real possibility that I may have to ship it to them, after it is shipped to me, when I could very well have picked up the stupid $20 pedometer at a nearby sports store. But they don't tell you these things when you order. They just blind you with flirty comments like "FREE Super Saver Shipping".
