*sobs
aw ! poor pev. i hate it when i do something like that.



and now for something completely different :

AAAARRRRG !!! (okay that bit is pretty much just the same)


good news : yay ! the new biography of Tom Waits IS AVAILABLE AS AN EBOOK !!! hallelujah !!!

bad news : it's priced at 29.95$ list !!!!! for an ebook !!! arg !!!! it's 21.64$ at fictionwise (club price !!!), 20.31$ at bob (after rewards !!), 14£ at Waterstone's (reduced from 20£ !!!!) !

for the kindle it's $16.47 which is obviously of no interest to me since i can't buy it from the kindle store. i did find it on ereader at 12.95$ which is 56.76% reduction from the list price, but i've never tried the ereader format, have not heard good things about it, have no idea how to remove the drm / format shift...

seriously, this is ridiculous. do you hear me random house ? RIDICULOUS !!!!!!

i've been waiting for this biography for months (seriously : patricia sent me a link to an article reviewing it before it was published) and i really want to read it, but i don't want to read it enough to spend over 20$ on it !!!

i guess i'll have to wait for the next killer sale at fw.
