Diabolical eBay plots

[drakyndra]

Reasons to dislike this weekend: I can't find out what this parcel I supposedly have is until Monday. I mean, where's the fun in getting mail if you can't open it?

In other news, I am being evil to someone on eBay. Well, not so much evil as irritatingly pedantic and law-abiding. (Long story short: I bought multiple items from one guy, and due to I mix up, I ended up paying for one of the items individually, as well as the group in total. I asked to refund that one item's cost. He refused. I am now trying to force him to give me my refund)

I get to send him PayPal invoices, and threaten to contact eBay about over-charging me. Not that it's a particularly huge amount of money or anything but, you know, it's a matter of principle.

It's actually quite fun.

(That said, I suspect that the only reason I'm having such fun with it is because it is only, relatively speaking, a small amount of money, and not getting the refund wouldn't bother me. If it was more money, I think it'd be less fun, and more anger-making)

Also: Marshmallow spread. One of the strangest and most wonderful foodstuffs to be found at my local supermarket.

On a fannish note: The Official Doctor Who site has an advent calender counting down until Christmas. With goodies each day such as wallpapers. I am intrigued by what might show up.

Also, according to sources In The Know at the OG, Runaway Bride pictures are embargoed until Tuesday (why no new DWM cover has been unveiled yet). So expect the press stuff to hot up from then.

Also, if "your heart is crying so much I think that it's dying" because a soundtrack album doesn't have the version of a song you like, you are possibly investing a little too much into things.

Mashmallow spread? how on earth does that work (considering marshmallows are quite, well, solid and non-spreadable)?

It's this sort of marshmallowy good stuff. Tastes alright, though.

So, you're expecting a parcel?

I have some Chrissie stuff incoming, plus assorted online purchases. Dunno which one this is, though.

Can I assume marshmallow spread is the same thing that we in the US call "marshmallow fluff"? If it is, I agree that it's a wonderful thing. Especially with peanut butter. Mmm, now there's a good sandwich.

Also, that advent calendar is teh awesome.

Apparently it's the same stuff. I'd never seen it before.

It is rather fun, yes.

I'm not sure my heart is dying, but I do sympathise. "Lounge lizard" sums up the album version quite nicely. My iPod feels violated.

Eh, I'll live. The exaggerated drama of it just amused me a little (as does all the people whining about "It doesn't have x track on it!" It's not as if there is unlimited space on the CD...)
