My poor credit card

The University finally caught up with me today, so I’m $2,500 worse off. Curses.

A minor war seems to have broken out over the troubled My So-Called Life DVD set. People have been double charged, release dates have been announced and missed, special features promised failed to materialise, and so on. Everything went crazy last Friday, when Amazon listed the supposed 'exclusive' box set for about $30 less than AnotherUniverse's pre-order price. It doesn't come with a lunchbox, or the special features disc (just a few interviews so far), but it does have a release date. The MSCL site is full of angry diatribes, especially as they come to realise that AU has probably been making a nice profit off the interest from the 3,000 original orders. Not a great situation. I cancelled my original order today; I would have paid quite a lot in shipping costs, as it was going to my UK address, and I'd rather have the 19 episodes than hold out for a lunchbox and a rather sparse feature disc.

There's a huge list of comics I have to pick up tomorrow, one of which features an appearance of The Authority....
