cleolindaOkay, so all of the imps are sold and I won't bounce any automated monthly payments for a while, which is nice. In BPAL culture, it's important that the seller not price-gouge and make a ridiculous profit off Beth's oils, which leads to people often saying, "Don't worry, the money's going back to the lab." In addition to charging reasonable prices, I mean. You can argue that ridiculous profit is just in the spirit of capitalism; I'm just telling you what the values of the user culture are. Sadly, with me? "It's all going to back to the lab" is probably true as well. Just... not this red hot moment.
(But even so, I already had Budding Moon and Haunted Palace on the way. Have you noticed that the BPAL wait time has gone down like whoa? I've heard about people getting shipping notices already for 1/13 orders. Dude! Also, the Valentine/Lupercalia LEs are still available for two more days [Perfumed Garden! Red Lantern! Smut!].)
Meanwhile, I think the SAG awards are on tonight--I love those, because 1) they're short and 2) TNT always runs them twice in a row, which makes blogging a hell of a lot easier on me. Can't remember if they're drinky or not, though.

Date: 2006-01-29 09:30 pm (UTC)But what I am sick of is the propensity to label any PETA campaign "bizarre" or "extreme." It's as bad as Ann Coulter automatically castigating liberals with her onslaught of derogatory terms any time someone dialogs with her and shows themselves to have liberal or progressive views.
Call me crazy, but I think it takes a certain amount of bravery to slather yourself in fake blood and stand outside the fur department of a department store with pictures of minks being anally electrocuted. And I personally laud the people who have the guts to do it and take a public stand for what they believe in -- "yep, this is cruel" -- while a huge chunk of the population shuffles through life as armchair activists.
That being said, that websight is hilarious.
