When i asked my grandma to buy me the Chronicles of Narnia last night, she instinctively said no. She was going out at 9am today, so before i went to bed, i left a note saying "if you feel generous, please leave me $30 for the Chronicles of Narnia". I wake up, no money. Also, i see a $20 note for my keyboard adaptor that i was meant to be getting today; after i told her it would be around $30. This i couldn't fathom. When she got home, at around 3pm, she said that she had thought i said $13, not $30. I then convinced her to buy me the Chronicles of Narnia, instead of giving me money, she gave me Coles Myer gift cards that work in Target and Kmart. I immediately shot off to Eastgardens to get the book, and to also get my keyboard adaptor. When i arrive at Eastgardens, i realise i forgot to bring my broken adaptor to show Dick Smiths. I was determined not to leave empty handed, so i went to Target first, no book. I then went to Kmart, where all i could find was a 2001 edition. This wasn't the one i wanted, i wanted the 2005 edition; the text wasn't different, but the cover was. After looking all through Kmart and Target for about half an hour, i figured that it was only just a cover. So i ended up getting the 2001 edition for $25. The 2005 edition in Angus and Robertson was $30, so i suppose it was a saving. I have to go back to Eastgardens tomorrow now to get my adaptor, due to my foolishness today.
.. I must admit, while searching through Kmart and Target, i did consider telling my grandma that they didn't have it so that she'd give me $30 in cash to get the 2005 edition, but i decided not to.
Start watching A Walk To Remember today, but got bored and turned it off less than half way through; and decided to watch Derailed. It was a good movie, got a bit boring in the middle though. I must say, the last 30mins completely blew me away, did not see it coming at all.
