wednes | Buy Me Bonestorm or Go To Hell!!!

I thought I hated everyone in the world and that they all needed to die horribly and immediately.
Turns out, I just needed a nap. ;-]

The Bohemian has mentioned me on the front page of their website. That was awfully nice of them. Here's a partial screen cap for the link-phobic.

Amazon shipped my new Proteus today for arrival on Wednesday this. Then I got a phone call during my nap from a lady who said that I wasn't charged the right price and they want me to pay a further $90 or send the thing back at their expense. I don't want to be a dick or anything; but I don't want to, and they can't make me. When we make mistakes like that on the job, we suck it up. Even H says I should keep it and he's the most moral person in the history of mankind. I bet if they'd lived simultaneously, I bet Jesus would have asked H for advice too. Still, if I love it and can't send it back, then they can make me a payment plan.

Tomorrow is the big Book Release Party. I'm going to be there around 6pm as doors open at 6:30. Reading at 7pm and then a Q&A is people have questions. I hope they do! I also found out today that my brother is coming. Yeeeee! He's such a good guy. It's pretty awesome having a brother again. Anyway, all you local types should really try to come. I'm giving out the bookmarks I have leftover from the Vampire Ball. Hopefully I will not come off as a mumbling jackass during my big event the way I was when I met Voltaire. LOL
WAAM is also gonna be talking about me tomorrow morning. I have to remember to send them some cool quotes before I go to bed. It's hard to keep thinking up things to say about myself. Oh wait, no it's not! LOL Also, my Facebook fan group has over 450 members. Woot!

And finally, the tape I had to buy to keep my bra in my new dress cost $9. Nine dollars for a thing of tape. I've never really realized it before, but having a marvelously ample bosom will cost you--in more ways than one. *rubs back*

you look BEAUTIFUL!!!!
:D

Thanks man, wait till you see me in my new dress!

Congratulations! I'd love to read it. Perhaps Canadian Amazon will have it?
::wanders off to find out::
::pops back in::
Oh, and best of luck! Let us know how the party goes! :)

I love hearing about your publicity. It doesn't seem real until you start hearing things like "book release party"! Good luck with that, and I wish for you the first three hundred of many thousands of purchases!

Pssst: it's there! I'm going to order it.
>insert evil laugh here

i cant wait!!!
where did you get it!?!??!
when will you post a picture of it??
& you in it!?!?!
:D

id have a new dress too but instead i just had a crappy experience with eshakti.
:(

also found out most lane bryants dont carry
any nylons (except spanx) in the stores anymore!
i did get a pair that fit @ catherines tho.
& for only $5!
:D

I would be very surprised to learn that any Amazon did not have it. All my stuff will also be available on Kindle soon as well. :-]

Thanks! There will be pics.

Thanks man. I try to keep it somewhat professional on Facebook. But around here, it's all about boob tape and my recurring nightmare that some cheap-ass chair breaks out from under me in front of everyone. ;-]

I got it from BBW Boutique online. There will be a photographer at the reading, so I should have pics to share within a week of the happy event.

i am SO excited for you!
i will be thinking all good thoughts!!

im going to have to check out that website
altho i probably wont end up buying anything else,
ill just wear the dress i already have from target that i wear to everything.
hahahaha.

have you bought anything from eshakti?
there is so much cute looking stuff on their site but i HATE buying clothes online
& this experience didnt help @ all.
(they said they were sending the order like 4 times & then it didnt come friday
& saturday i got an email saying my measurements were wrong -WTF?!?!? theyre MY measurements! AND they were RIGHT!- so they completely recalled the order)
their prices are pretty fucking good for what they claim are custom made to order sizes
& some of the OOTDs with their dresses ive seen on fatshionista are nice.
they do get a lot of mixed reviews on their customer service tho. poop.
i really kinda wanted that dress.
oh well.
shouldnta been spending $ anyway.
:(

No, I've never used them. I do a fair bit of online shopping. My faves being:

Zaftique
Holy Clothing
BBW Boutique--though I've only bought the one dress from them, their CS was good, it was very inexpensive considering the quality, and I loves it.

i think ive looked @ zaftique b4 but
i will definitely check the others out!

i got sucked into buying the dress @ eshakti cause they had 30% off & then another $15 coupon AND free shipping!
i guess they could have offered to dip it in FUCKING GOLD tho since they didnt end up sending anything!
;P

if you ever order from them, would you let me know how it goes for you?
:)

Sure, but it'll prolly be a while before I can afford another new dress. ;-]

hahah! i hear you!
im actually kinda relieved they fkd up my order cause theyre going to refund my $.
i should be saving every cent for getting my drivers responsibility fee paid off & reinstating my license!
(i refuse to give up netflix tho!)
;)

hay! did lost end yet?

No!

The first two eps this season were sort of recappy in nature, just a hint of information in case we weren't very good at guessing. But last week was freaking amazing. I have to DVR tomorrow's because I'll be at my signing.

Very cool of The Bohemian. Very sucky of Amazon, although not surprising, I guess. If they were going to bitch about the price goof-up, they should have said before they shipped. I don't think you have any obligation to pay them more than you have, but I'm not a lawyer, of course (and I'm way less moral than H ; ).

Actually, I am told it's a private seller who uses Amazon for fulfillment. So by the time the seller got a hold of Amazon to say the price was wrong, Amazon had already shipped it to me.

Everyone I talk to says I have no legal obligation to pay more and that I can keep it. But if it's a small business owner, I might feel like a dick for keeping it. I'm honestly not sure how I feel about it. My life is going pretty well right now, I don't want to jinx myself just to get some expensive thing I want.

Maybe you could contact the seller directly and try to work something out? I see what you mean. If I was the seller, I'd be pissed, but I'd expect Amazon to make up for it, not the buyer.

I'm sure that both the seller and Amazon know the process well enough to know who's actually at fault. I'm fairly sure it's the seller. The seller did call me with a spiel about what her cost was and how she can't afford this--that like, 11 orders went out at the wrong price or something.

So I am supposed to talk to her about it later. Right now I'm thinking if she'll work out a payment plan with me, I'll give her the extra money. If not, she can go to hell because this isn't my problem. But then I'd feel like a dick. I just have to decide if I'd feel like enough of a dick to actually send it back.

True enough. Actually, I think you'd be less of a dick if you sent it back instead of just keeping it. She could at least resell it then. (or did I misunderstand what you meant there?)

But yeah, I hope she's cool enough to work out a payment plan. That just seems like the decent thing to do.

It sucks Amazon didn't want to be gracious about it. You know the thing couldn't cost much more than $15 to make, anyway.

Actually, Amazon was fine about it. No complaints. The third party seller OTOH was very upset. She lied about how it happened, saying she "had no idea" how that price got there, when it was obvious that someone typo'd it. At first, I presumed it was cheap because a new model had come out--the one I got came with an adapter that hasn't been standard in years. But the next morning after placing the order I saw that the "new" price was $155, thus making $15 an obvious typo.

I know, right? What modern computer has a serial port?

I guess you'd need to use something like this to program it:
http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=103&cp_id=10311&cs_id=1031104&p_id=3726&seq=1&format=2

Indeed. My media buddy is trying to hook me up with a serial port-USB cable. If I download the software to make custom sessions, I have to use H's computer because he has Windows on his mac.

Buy Me Bonestorm or Go To Hell!!!
