In which electronic communication occurs

Monica and I had the following exchange today:


Monica on Twitter: I am in the process of assigning people to get me seasons of Doctor Who from the Amazon sale for Christmas. Who is taking season three?

Holly on Email
: I'll get you Dr Who season 3 if you get me TNG season 3, 4 or 7. ...I'm totally serious. ...Although I should point out I'd be getting the better deal, financially.

Monica
: Yes you would. You horrible girl. But if TNG goes on sale I’m all over it! Or would you be okay with used copies? Or… Best Of sets?

Holly
: Nope. I require each season to be new. Shiny. Without flaw or blemish. Sealed by the factory with tender, loving care in delicately folded plastic wrap. Each season is only $41.99 right now on Amazon -- that's down $30 from the list price. *wheedle*

Monica: DVD snob.


So if anyone's looking for a way to drop $40 or so on some appreciative friends by way of early Christmas gifts, I hope this helps.

In other news, my friend Kasey is having a conversation with Robin McKinley over on Twitter. McKinley's responded twice to her so far. I... I am not that cool.

  1. It's killing me that the TNG DVD sets are so expensive.

    KILLING.

  2. Hi! I'm sorry, I haven't been commenting on your blog. It's something I will have to work into my commenting routine. :) Do you think we should do a Christmas exchange this year?

  3. S -- Nooooo kidding. I did finally decide after months of internal whining that if I cared this much, I should just get them -- so I'm starting to purchase them very slowly. I have one season and I think I'm getting another for Christmas.

    AC -- Hi! How'd you find this? Linking through a comment on John's old blog?

    C -- Hussy. Er, I mean-- Noooo problem!

  4. C-- And yes, Christmas exchange! I (or someone) need to email people and see who all think's they're going to be in town at some point over break. Monica did get someone to get her season 3 -- they were the amazon deal of the day or something yesterday, and were at $30 down from $80.

    I... I feel very materialistic after this post.
