What is it with this "lose and gain" at nearly the same time shit?

Lost Rob.
Fear I may have lost another, which I'm not gonna discuss, but it's not Erc, I'll say that much, and in the last 12 or so hours, I've also gained two things...

I bought something off of Amazon for the first time and I "won" something else offa Ebay, both of which I've never done before.

From Amazon, it's the 2-CD set of the original cast recording of Jesus Christ Superstar.

My Aunt Carol had those albums when I was a kid.
I have them now.
(Or, they're in Dad's garage, anyway...)
What I don't have these days is a turntable.

So, I've been kinda poking around, here and there, looking for JCS, for years now.
Finally found it.
Thank God (no pun intended).

I ordered it from some outfit in Joisey and it should be here this coming week sometime.
AND, it was less, including s&H then it would have been, had I ordered it from the local Sam Goody. They wanted about $30 bucks for it and it woulda taken a coupla weeks for them to get it for me, so...
Glad I did that.

What I've got coming now from Ebay is a book.
"Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil".

I love true murder stories anyway (99% of my books are either that, or Stephen King) and, it does have in it a guy I know in real life, so... yay that, too.

Not to mention, I was wanting to read it anyway, after that post Rob did about it a coupla weeks ago...

Then, when I found out the cool little factoid that a guy I know in person is in it...
Oh yeah.
Had to have it.

And, soon I will.

And, I can't wait to hear JCS again.
Had that on cassette tape for a long time, but, either that tape died or I've misplaced it, because it feels like YEARS since I've heard it.
I know every word of every song on the first three sides.
(Can't handle Side 4. The sounds of Jesus being beaten make my scalp tingley.)

Anyway... I guess, overall, I oughta be grateful that for every loss these days, there seem to be something new to (try to) "distract" me.

Still, I've had enough of this shit now.
(In case Anyone is listening...)

Peace

1 I LOVED that book. Read in one sitting. Couldn't put it down. I've been wanting to go to Savannah ever since.

4 I've been recommended it by a tremendous number of people. I should promote it to the short list. Unfortunately the short list has several hundred books on it.

5 You should have just posted you wanted the book, and person from Savannh worth his/her salt has a copy or three of Midnight. Forget the historical facts here honey, it took one gay art collector and a drag queen to make Savannah famous. What history? You should have asked I'd would have gotten you a copy for free. Since I'm packing to move, I know I'll come across my copy (autographed) and the other one I have, not autographed. Tried to email you this but your address is not on the blog anymore.

6 lol... Yeah, I realized that. "You were right IN Savannah, dipshit", I said to myself, last night as I was ordering it.
But, hell, it's the hardcover and including s&H it was less than $5.

And, after I've been putzin' around in my template, you skeert me with my email addy not being here anymore... but, yeah it is.

Right on the bottom of that picture in the upper right corner...
