Things...

Not much to say really.
Book still hasn't come, and school has started yet again.
I can't believe it! WHERE HAS THE TIME GONE?!
Ah well. More later when its not almost midnight and I'm not in the midst of A.P. Spanish Homework!

Cheers,

Hell hath no fury like a bookworm scorned...

I have a major bone to pick with Amazon.

I have tried to a) PURCHASE and b) HAVE DELIVERED "Looking For Alibrandi", the first book ever written by my favorite author, Melina Marchetta.

And EVERY STINKING time, I have managed to a) PURCHASE said book but have failed to b) HAVE IT DELIVERED.

I have tried to have it mailed to me twice, and each time, it has taken literally four weeks, and then I recieve a pleasant little email stating that for some reason or another, your book was lost in the mail, we're very sorry and here is your money back...try again.

Is this some sort of cosmic joke? I know there are thousands of issues (like Darfur, famine, climate change, the return of New Kids on the Block) that are of far more pressing urgency then my small crises...but I really, REALLY want to read that book!

Oh well. Trust me. There will be a post letting you all know when I get this book, because I will be over the moon. And if it fails to come AGAIN, well...you will all know about that too.

Until then,

<3 Jo
