reldnahkramMy afternoon and evening consisted of the following
With regards to Blockbuster, why don't they carry ST: VI? Wouldn't it make sense for stores to be able to query each other's stock? If I'm looking for a movie, they have to call the store in question and ask if they have it. I also think the clerk at that store has to go look on the shelf to see if the movie is there/in. This doesn't strike me as an efficient solution.
At any rate, as the Media Blockbuster clerk was calling the other Blockbusters to try and find the movie, he mentions to me that, by coincidence, the movie is showing at Swarthmore tonight. I mention to him that this is why I'm trying to rent it. It brought a little levity to an otherwise unfunny situation, since I had someplace I wanted to be at 8 and work I was planning to do before then (which, I should point out, I was going to do after the game, but instead look what I'm doing).
In other news, harmonics on the piano rock. As does playing "slide piano" with drinking glasses.
