The Zoo over Ambuscade Street

Yea, so I get an overhead page saying I have a call parked. Which is strange, since most people who call me have my direct number, but not completely out of the ordinary.

I answer it, and it's the principal of some elementary school I've never heard of, asking for some woman I've never heard of, who works in some "Safety Division" I've never heard of. The hell? No, I don't have a directory of everyone who works here. No, I don't think there's anyone on base with a directory of everyone who works here and their phone numbers. If the number you have for her is busy, I don't know what the hell to tell you, but there's not a thing I can do to help.

What I really want to know is why they sent this call to me. Also, what the hell happened, because he sounded greatly stressed.

Quick, someone talke me out of buying the Sugar box set for $60, and the Hand Maid May box set for $30.

God knows the last thing I need are more box sets. I bought a truckload of them in the last quarter of last year, mostly because I found them for cheap. (Let's see - two seasons of Slayers, both seasons of The Big O, both GTO box sets, Jubei-chan, Arjuna, Zeta Gundam, both Nadia sets, two Marmalade Boy box sets, Inu-Yasha season 1, the first season of City Hunter, and three Maison Ikkoku sets).

Just a few. My DVD backlog is no longer (a really terrifying number), and I'd like to keep it that way. It's now at (a much less scary but still respectably large number), and it needs to keep getting smaller until it's gone. I don't need any more box sets, especially of shows I'm not convinced that I'll be thrilled to own six years from now.

*whimpers*

If these are the figures that are coming out at the end of the month, I'm going to be really, really excited. Now I just need an Izumi figure. But not the trading figure, because I didn't really like it for some reason.
