So, um. First off: I really can get a lot accomplished when I, y'know, do it. Someone should've told me this earlier.

Firstly, I decided to face my fear/ignorance of the Post Office. How? I did what my friend rather sarcastically recommended and sort of held out my scholarship application with puppy-dog eyes and said "this needs to be in Toronto by the 8th. How do I do that?" and the lady at the counter looked at me like I was crazy and took some of my money and gave me a special envelope. And then she realized that I really didn't have a clue what I was doing and mailed it for me. Phew. (There's this thing called e-mail, y'see, and you can send things instantaneously. I realize it's a tricky concept and all. *grumbles about those whippersnappers and their postal service*)

Next, I popped online and did the scholarship application thingie and renewed all my library books. Fixed!

Then I spent four hours reading about music. Good times!

Anyhoo, stuff is better, so I've rescinded my self-imposed LJ exile! I also bought food.

Oh, and I finally checked out www.whona.com. Holy cow. There goes my Paypal account. It's incredibly cheap, and the shipping is freakishly reasonable. So I bought "The Year of Intelligent Tigers", the Eighth Doctor book that's out of print and that I can't find anywhere. And I was willing to pay up to thirty dollars for it. How much did I wind up paying, you ask? Ten dollars. And that's counting shipping and taxes. Yikes! So that was a real huzzah moment. And they were polite and shipped immediately and it's just plain wonderful. I think this is the start of a beautiful friendship... Oh, gosh. A Dalek beach towel? TARDIS COOLER MINIFRIDGE? And... a talking Dalek watch. I love the internet.

...Dalek bath and shower gel? EX-FO-LI-ATE!
