Exhaustive Purchasing

I've reached a point in my purchasing that there's really nothing in the local stores I want anymore. All the DVDs are tired (yes, I've "got 'em all"), and the books are non-existent ("do you have--*", blank stare). Whilst I've purchased from Amazon many times before, it's become my new haven, my one ring, my "ignore the evil patents cos, dammit boy, I LIKE-A THE MATERIAL POSSESSIONS!" Here's what I've grabbed in three months:

• Amphigorey
• Black Orchid
• Bloodthirst:Legend of the Chupacabras
• Bullets Over Broadway
• Carnosaur
• Day of the Animals
• Despiser
• Dog Soldiers
• Farscape Season 1, Vol. 5
• Fresh For '01.... You Suckas
• Games Diversions & Perl Culture
• James and the Giant Peach
• Kiki's Delivery Service
• Mighty Aphrodite
• Neil Gaiman's Midnight Days
• Princess Mononoke
• Savage Harvest
• Scarecrow
• That Little Monster
• The Abominable Dr. Phibes
• The Animatrix
• The Brotherhood III - Young Demons
• The Doubtful Guest
• The Elements of User Experience
• The Epiplectic Bicycle
• The Japanese Fairy Book
• The Hitcher
• The Matrix
• Violent Cases: Words & Pictures

If you're an Amazon user and have even the remotest interest in getting 10% on items like the above, you may want to consider adding me to your "Amazon Friends" list, as explained here. Just "Share the Love" back - I like exploring my Friend's interests (the Japanese Fairy Tale book was a pleasant surprise from a Friend and friend and, with a 10% discount, sits happily in my collection now).

I suspect I'll be doing a large order every two weeks or so. With free shipping, plus my own referal fees to my Associate ID, Amazon has been working quite nicely - about $60 in referal fees from my own purchases means a nice "free" order at the end of each quarter.
