mmmm, retail therapy

Today is Boomtime, day 52 in the season of Chaos, 3269.

Bigger than expected federal tax refund just got deposited, and I just mailed my very last car payment. So, on their way to me:

• from cdstreet.com, Scissorkiss's "Where's My Silver Love?"
  
• from CD Baby, Vienna Teng's "Waking Hour" (Thanks, Ecto; EWS strikes again.) and both volumes of the Songs Inspired by Literature Project. CD Baby still ( has the best shipping confirmation email ever. )
  
  
• a reversible down jacket from Land's End, on crazy sale (which means the weather will warm up real quick-like)
  
• Not on their way yet, but I'm going to preorder the Red Dwarf DVDs that come out on the 25th and Jonah: a VeggieTales Movie that comes out March 4.
  

There's got to be a better way to deal with stress than shopping, I'm sure, but I'll look for it later. (No, not a request for suggestions. ;) )

Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow. I think I just hurt myself laughing. Parodies of the ready.gov web site ("USDHS: Don't say we didn't warn you."):
