Get thee behind me, Amazon

So at Happenin' Screenplay Competition job (otherwise known as Job #3) I keep agreeing to take more scripts than the normal weekly allotment. There are many reasons for this... Okay, there's one reason: I'm very, very greedy. I'm almost as greedy as I am cheap. And I'm pretty cheap.

However, not only am I greedy and cheap, but I also have an Amazon addiction. I usually keep it at bay with a purchase of something necessary every few months, but there's that godforsaken Super Saver Shipping that keeps tempting me. I've filled up my shopping cart almost a hundred times to exactly the point necessary to qualify me for free delivery -- the thought of how much I've almost spent at Amazon is pretty damn scary.

I can afford my Amazon kick due to the extra scripts, but there's something frightfully ironic about me reading extra in order to buy books. Ironic/wrong, that is.

But BOOKS. Delightful paperback hardback trade paperback books. With their pretty covers and pretty words...

Too bad I just preordered Harry Potter. Because I could definitely use a Bookslut shirt.
