Tires & Movies

   Posted by: richard   in Everyday Things

Those of you concerned about my tire situation, be comforted. I got it fixed. And, because I found an online coupon for a really good deal, I went ahead and replaced the other three tires as well. I think, perhaps, I should have gotten the alignment checked out, as I have a good bit of vibration at highway speeds. Maybe I can have that done this weekend. Now I need to replace the four tires on my other car. The old one. I’ll hopefully get that done this weekend as well.

Yesterday we received our membership package from Columbia House DVD. Actually… we received our two membership packages. I submitted an application to join back in October. I didn’t hear anything for several weeks, so I emailed them to see what was up. They didn’t have any record, and told me to try it again. So I did. Nothing happened again, and I emailed them, and they said the same thing. So I tried it in IE, thinking maybe firefox had something to do with it (don’t know why it would, but you never know with this magic). Still nothing, so I shook the dust.
But then, on December 29th, I got an email saying there was a technical error, and they were processing my request. And then, yesterday, I recieved two membership packages. That’s 14 DVDs. Of course, most of them were the duplicates. I changed a few selections between applications. And one of them was to be a Christmas gift, so I had already purchased it elsewhere. Anyhow. They fixed me up. They’re sending prepaid packing stuff for one of the accounts, and for the additional Primer that was a gift.

After I got the packages, I remembered that Jason signed up with them a while back, and I should have gone through him to get him some free stuff. Oops. Sorry Jason.

Here are the movies I got…

  • Hoosiers
  • The Usual Suspects
  • Hotel Rwanda
  • My Fair Lady
  • A Christmas Story
  • The Bourne Identity

Primer was in there, too, like I said. But I’m returning that for something else (which I’ll decide on when I get the credit). Have any suggestions?
