DORK ALERT!

So I was on the hunt for an image to include in the blog when I stumbled upon an eBay auction for Trivial Pursuit Genus II edition. I didn't recall ever SEEING such an edition, so I was intrigued at what sort of price such a rare (?) item might be fetching.

At that moment: $2.99 (with five-ish hours left in the auciton)

"PFFFFFFF!!! I can do better than that..." I thought.

Now, it's at this point, I should tell you that I've hardly ever bid on anything on eBay (I did snag my own Whosit game a couple years back, though... SCORE!). I generally don't have the time/energy to keep an eye on how someone else's actions just affected me online. Anyone who's ever had a pillow fight with me on Facebook knows I'm a relatively easy mark.

ANYWAY... I put in a $5 bid figuring some geek watching that particular auction would swoop in at the last minute anyway and win the item while I was at "The Dark Knight." That's generally what happens to me.

But guess what? I won. Of course I did! I'm leaving town for two weeks on Thursday! Of course I'm having to figure out how to get a package mailed to me WHILE I'M ON VACATION. *sigh*

Someone on the Google Groups called me Gina the Genius, for creating this blog, I think. All evidence to the contrary.

Thanks for playing. :-)

UPDATE: A friend of mine helped me arrive at a most obvious answer to my dilemma: Have it delivered to my office. Nar. I knew that. ... OK, I didn't.

Batman break

The only thing cooler than going to see "The Dark Knight" on opening weekend is going to see it opening weekend at a midnight showing in Hollywood. Yes, my friends, those are actual costume pieces from the movie.

I'm not saying anything more in case you haven't seen it. And if you haven't seen it, all I have to say is, "YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT?!?!" Well, consider this your one-week(ish) warning because I'm pretty sure it will be a topic of fairly wide discussion and a popular point of reference next week... and you may not get any spoiler alerts, at least not at the Killer Bunnies table.

Nananannnanananananananananana.... BATMAN!!!
