Be Organized!
Geesh, never in my life have I ever had this much trouble be organized and on time. It's driving me nuts! I have to be organized or I do not function well (as evidence by my lack of posting on here, having time to watch my wonderful classic films, and in general, live in my own world). School and work has taken me by storm and I had the brilliant idea of getting sick . . . again. However, I should be in the clear now. I'm done with math. Kaput. Finito. I no longer have to endure Economics. Shabam! I can, at last, relax. The first semester is over . . . and oh, Dear God since the world didn't end this past Friday (I'm not exactly sure how I feel about this), I only have . . . gasp . . . five more months of seniorhood and I am . . . bigger gasp . . . graduating. Done with high school. Given a firm boot to the rear end and thrust into the real world. Oh. God. Can I pretty, pretty please go back in time and start over again? I don't want to pass Go. I don't want to collect.
Please?
Fine. Don't let me. Make me have to face that cruel and unforgiving thing called life. I love you, too.
Anyways . . .
So, lets see, what did I promise in my last post? Ah, yes, I remember, my Wish List. Well, people, since we live in the technology generation and since my parents were most definitely not born in the technology generation and since Barnes and Noble decided not to have the classic films which I desperately wanted, I know exactly what I'm getting for Christmas since I had to order them from Amazon. Does that deter me in the slightest? Does that make me any less excited than I would have been if I had given my mother a list and sent her off to Barnes and Noble by herself and hope that she find them? No. It does not. Believe me. I'm still itching to get my hands on them.
And here, ladies and gentlemen, are my little goodies that I have to wait twenty-four more hours to get my hands on:

I needed more Gordon in my life. You can never have too much of him. Photo Courtesy of http://www.amazon.com |
At last! It's mine! BWAHAHAHAHA! Photo Courtesy of http://www.amazon.com |
To put my love for this film into words is nearly impossible. When I saw this was at last on DVD, I got a little misty eyed. Photo Courtesy of http://www.amazon.com |

Broke down and finally got this at Barnes and Noble. Photo Courtesy of http://www.amazon.com |
I got the King at Walmart. Photo Courtesy of http://www.amazon.com |
This was on my to-own list, but I wasn't necessarily looking to buy it and own it just now, but Clark here is under the Christmas tree, waiting for me. Photo Courtesy of http://www.amazon.com |
For some unknown reason, because I always remember what film I do and do not have, I forgot that I already had Calamity Jane. 3/4 though ain't bad. Photo Courtesy of http://www.amazon.com |
My mom also bought me a Western set with John Wayne pictures and a Richard Widmark picture, but I can't find a photo of it, and I don't remember what the exact title of the product is, but I know that I got me some westerns to look forward to.
My Cyber Monday Buy
I also said that I would share my Cyber Monday buy that was just too perfect I couldn't resist and one that nearly brought me to tears:
$17.99 Photo Courtesy of http://www.amazon.com |
There it is. In all it's glory, The Complete Thin Man Collection. $17.99. I snatched this baby up so fast it was unreal. I wasn't about to risk me missing this buy especially since it had been sitting on $59.92 for a very long time. If you do the math, or better yet, let Amazon do the math for you that's a 70% discount. I surely thought it would go back up after Cyber Monday was over, but I just checked and it's still the same $17.99 so if you want this, need this like I did, I'd go ahead and buy it if I were you. Make it your late Christmas present to yourself. You honestly can't get much better than this.
Well, there we are. Before the year is up, I'll have a Tin Pan Alley up. And I promise, no more super long hiatuses from me; I don't like them. Also, in January, I'll be starting the Star of the Month again.

Thanks, Runell, for this great and entertaining Christmas Eve post! Enjoy all of your goodies, and good luck trying to stay organised now, with all these treats to enjoy! Have a very Merry Christmas!
THE COMPLETE THIN MAN SERIES FOR ONLY $17.99?!!!! I am so jealous!
Happy Holidays! :)
Don't beat yourself up on not being organized. I've finally accepted that I'll never be.
You found some cool DVD's and great prices. I gave my DVD player away recently since I never watch them. I can barely clear my DVR of classic films one day a month. (That should be my NY's resolution.)
Happy New Year to you and enjoy your classic films.
