thinking out loud

[pez]

The evil thing about ordering things that have different release dates is that it'll only be all sent to me at the same time after the last item has been released. Which means although Yagami's photobook is coming out in a few days, I won't get it till after Baba's book has been released, too. (Have to combine shipping, dude. 4 photobooks plus their gifts/DVDs, some photosets, a photofile, a mini file thingy, and a towel. Around £30 postage!!! Although seller says it's likely she's overestimated with the 5kg and will refund the difference, like last time.)

Had to ask my mum to do a bank transfer for me because I'm ordering so close to the release date that I can't send cash quickly enough, and I don't have enough cash on hand anyway.

And then, great timing, Kanesaki announces his book, and I have 10 days before order deadline if I want to get the preorder gift =_=. 10 days to get HK dollars and send to seller because my mum has just made the bank transfer and I don't want to bother her again. Besides, the release date is SEPTEMBER. Will make it a separate order so that it'll ship later.

It's not so bad, except the places I can get to during working days do not actually stock HK dollars, I mean, my office being in a tiny town of an undelightful part of E.England... I have to order it in advance. If they're quick, it takes a day. If not, a few days... Hey wait, I can try the M&S at Oxford St on Saturday.

YesAsia should stock it, without gift, and I can get free shipping without all this hassle of currency transfer. BUT seller'll have them on hand in the beginning of Oct and I'll be in HK then, can just collect it from her like all her other customers do (I'm about the only overseas customer she has...) This seller's prices are quite steep with books (DVDs are only 10% higher than YesAsia, but books are more, probably because of extra effort involved due to weight. Am getting DVDs from YesAsia, but they don't have all the books, you see. And the ones they have, they can't get the preorder gifts. Studio Warp, unlike Ongaku Senkasha, is an ass.)

Just thinking out loud. Yes, I do worry about unimportant things. XD;


Might be selling my Kazuki books/photos/things. He doesn't interest me anymore. And I'm spending too much money on the other stuff.

I don't know any... :D;;;;

Might see what other cosplays I might be able to pull off with just stuff from the wardrobe, ghetto cosplay ftw. But if not, there's always grumpy Zero. XD

Hmm nevermind then, I guess I will have to make it all myself. xD

Mm yar, ghetto cosplays are always fun. xD Most of mine are. 8D But yar, Kaitou is half ghetto half not since I had to buy his outfit, but it's relatively normal. xD Otherwise, yes, grumpy Zero and his bottle it shall be. :P
