DAMN YOU, GLOBAL FINANCIAL CRISIS!

And the accompanying plunge in the exchange rate for the Aussie dollar. If we were still at 0.95+ against the US$, maybe I could have justified the special special edition of Folie a Deux (vinyl! footage! tshirt and hoodie!) as a Christmas present to myself, but given that it's about 0.69 and it'd work out at at least $A230 with shipping...LOL NO.

Also, I think aliens have stolen my bath towels. And I want to take a shower.

Have I mentioned I'm completely addicted to FiveThirtyEight.com? Can't stop refreshing and reading about polls...about someone else's election!

Yeah, $230 is not justifiable, and yet my brain keeps going "buy it, buy it now!"

I'm irrationally charmed by the idea of aliens stealing your bath towels *g*

(and, yes, *shakes fist at Aussie dollar*)

They'd cunningly hidden them upstairs, those towel-thieving bastards!

Ahem. So I'm *trying* to buy the thing? And the website declines everything I try. Pete keeps failing at taking my money. He has my common sense I don't see why he doesn't want my money to go with it!

Sounds like the overload when the Panic special edition was announced :D

That's the same merch store that I have long conversations with previously this year, giving feedback for their crappy interface. Then they didn't even have a secured payment site... Was there a lock symbol in your browser corner, because in the summer, there sure wasn't.

But on the upside, the AUD has strengthened against the euro. I can't tell you how relieved I am about that.

Oh, that is good news :D

I was very tempted too, then reality set in *g*

I want the vinyl to go with my Pretty. Odd. and The Black Parade ones. The footage will end up online, the hoodie is red which really isn't my colour, so everything else I can resign myself to not having, but wantwantwant the vinyl ;)
