merrilyThe package was post-marked China, which made me suspicious, and the contents label said "book," which made me confused, and then I opened it and found a bootleg copy of The West Wing: The Complete Series, crappily transferred and packaged.
I'm so mad I could spit. Or kick something. I paid $170 for it (eBay), in a moment of "la la, I can spend my vacation money foolishly if I want to." Apart from my bicycle, it's the most money I've ever spent on anything, and the ghost of my mother inside my head is nodding sagely and saying things like "see? you know you should've saved that cash."
And yes, I'm mostly mad that it's a _crappy_ bootleg, not that it's a bootleg.
Josh! I want to spend time with you NOW. Will we ever be together?
