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:
  

  
  Your CDs have been gently taken from our CD Baby shelves with sterilized contamination-free gloves and placed onto a satin pillow.
  
  A team of 50 employees inspected your CDs and polished them to make sure they were in the best possible condition before mailing.
  
  Our packing specialist from Japan lit a candle and a hush fell over the crowd as he put your CDs into the finest gold-lined box that money can buy.
  
  We all had a wonderful celebration afterwards and the whole party marched down the street to the post office where the entire town of Portland waved 'Bon Voyage!' to your package, on its way to you, in
  our private CD Baby jet on this day, Friday, February 21st.
  
  I hope you had a wonderful time shopping at CD Baby. We sure did. Your picture is on our wall as "Customer of the Year". We're all exhausted but can't wait for you to come back to CDBABY.COM!!

  
  
  
• 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. ;) )

I plead the fifth. While you're at it, give me a fifth.
