11/04/2005: "Woot, Robbie!"
Song of the Day: Ricky Martin - I Don't Care
Sometimes people are just so insanely awesome.
Remember how I was enthusing over getting Robbie Williams' new CD for only $11.99 on Amazon? Well, the estimated arrival date came and went, with no word about why it hadn't shipped yet. I went to the CD's page, and it had gone from saying that it shipped in 24 hours to shipping in 3 to 6 weeks. I fired off an email to Amazon, and they wrote back saying the new estimated arrival time was sometime in December.
While I was out shopping today, I stopped in the import CD store down the block from me to see if there was anything new in stock. I noticed that Robbie's CD was only $19.99, not a bad price for an import. I started talking to the guy behind the counter and telling him my Amazon problems, and finally said, "Screw it, I'm going to buy it here and cancel it on Amazon." Much to my surprise, he announced that since I was doing that, he would knock down the price for me. After he committed such an amazingly amazing act of kindness, he and I started commiserating about the sad state of music on the American charts and talking about upcoming European releases that we were looking forward to. Amen for gay men, because otherwise, there wouldn't be anyone else in the country who listens to the same stuff that I do.
