Online Shopping

So I was talking to my dad yesterday while waiting for our call to come on and he told me that my brother’s laptop arrived earlier that day and he was test-driving it. It was a Toshiba laptop, 16″ with something like 4GB memory and 512MB Video card and Intel Core 2 Centrino processor. I’m kind of vague with the specs since he picked it out himself without my help and I’m really kind of not good with hardware until now. Yeah, I’m such a loser.

Anyway, I suddenly remembered that I had some books (yes again) that I want to order off Amazon before my dad goes home so I go check it out. I picked out Havah and Demon: A Memoir by Tosca Lee and 45 Master Characters by Victoria Schmidt. Because I still have that feeling of having too many books to read for the past two weeks, I really couldn’t think of anything more to buy. All of the books were about $30, which is probably almost the same price I’d pay if I buy them here (if they were available, that is). But the fun thing about this is that I remembered I had an Amazon GC from my Associates account, which means I get $10 off.

Ah, I love online shopping. My brother’s laptop was bought on sale compared to prices here, so he got it for a really good price, and the books I will buy? Well, I’m just glad I have a GC. :P

And of course, I will still pay for that, but that’s why I have posts like this. :P

I’m kind of glad I can afford these kinds of purchases already; at least I wouldn’t get the bewildered look that Howie Mendel gives his son on the video below when he said he purchased an Xbox using his dad’s credit card. :P
