Goodness, Badness
The bad thing about working in the city is that you have to go into the city every day.
The good thing about working in the city is that if you need to go into the city, you're already there.
None of my local bookshops have the new Harry Dresden novel, White Night.1 Galaxy Bookshop had it, of course, but they're in the city and I didn't have two hours to spare for the trip there and back just to buy one book.2
Today I had a meeting in Edgecliff, so afterwards I dropped in at Galaxy. Naturally, they've sold out. They expect to have more in two to three weeks...
1 $13?! It's $50 here in Oz!3 Goddam it, when is there going to be an amazon.com.au? They'd clean up down here.
2 Well, there's a new volume of Battle Vixens out too, but that doesn't improve the balance of the equation all that much.
3 Right now, thats US$42.
