Currently Listening The Phantom of the Opera (2004 Movie Soundtrack) Think Of Me see related

Yes, I finally got it.  The Phantom of the Opera Soundtrack.  Simply sublime.

Somewhat less sublime was obtaining it.

I had a gift certificate to Media Play for 20 bucks, so I headed over there to pick it up.  Along with it, I found the script for Pygmalion and My Fair Lady, which I had been looking for for over a year.  So I headed up to check out, and found out that the total was $21.34, $1.34 more than was on my gift card.

Having  already put all my cash into my gas tank, I only managed to come up with $1.01.  Seeing there was no one else in line, I asked the check-out girl if I could run really quick to my car to get 33 cents I lacked.  Dashing out to my car I began a desperate search for change.  In the glove box, under the seats, in the trunk.  I'm sure many an eyebrow was raised upon seeing a girl upturned and contorted, arm halfway into the French Fry Abyss that lies beneath every car seat. 

In all I only produced another 25 cents.  Approaching the counter again, I laid my lint-coated collection of coins on the counter.  "I'm seven cents short."  I said half-desperately, hoping she might be able to help me out.  The woman blinked, expression unchanged.  I looked around.  No one seemed interested in spotting me the extra 7 cents.

In the final end I had to put the remainder on my credit card.  My credit card!  My "I'm-Lost-In-A-Third-World-Country-Without-Food-Or-Shelter" emergency credit card!  [grumbling]

If you didn't notice, I hate using my credit card.

I also spent a little while writing thank you cards at Caribou.  I got about five done before I became immensely distracted perfecting my new uppercase cursive B.  Those who know me well will know why a beautiful handwritten "B" is so vitally important for me to master.
