I HAVE DEATH NOTE VOL. 7! Yay!!! It was a near thing though.
I double checked the shipping info, and while B&N usually ships stuff to me by UPS, this time they used the USPS. So I checked the tracking number, and it said it had been delivered 2 days ago! But I haven't checked my mail since, like, last Saturday, convinced that there was no way the USPS was delivering mail. I'm sorry to have doubted you, USPS. So I ventured out through calf-height snow to my mailbox, which is usually like a 1-minute walk but which took me like 5 minutes, because of gingerly having to go through the snow. I finally got there, put my key in and turned... AND THE MAILBOX WOULDN'T OPEN. It was sealed shut!! All the ice and what not had made it impossible (for me) to open. I kept trying and trying and trying, pulling with all my limited strength, but there's only so much grip you can get on a small key, getting colder by the second because it's still lightly drifting snow out there, my sneakers/socks were wet, etc. I figured I'd have to trek back home, get some warm water, and pour it over the mailbox edges, except I couldn't face actually going through all the snow and then back out again. I was like, ohmygod that Death Note Vol. 7 is in there, one inch away, TAUNTING ME, and I STILL CAN'T READ IT. I was extremely lucky though, because the guy who lives in the house that the mailbox is in front of, came home, and using pliers to get a grip on the key, managed to yank it open. Yippee.
I was rewatching Batman Begins, and the kid that Rachel saves/Batman gives one of his gadgets to looked SO familiar, but I couldn't place him. And then I finally realized who he was... JOFFREY BARATHEON. OMG. Thanks a lot, Batman. That kid's going to grow up to make a whole lot of people miserable. :))
