In the midst of everything that was happening last week, I forgot to mention that I made my first eBay purchase. A class I took last fall on film adaptations of women's novels got my film senses tingling a bit, so I bid on (and won) an old out-of-print copy of a silent film adaptation of The Scarlet Letter. Now if only it would actually get here ...
This isn't the first time I've ever gotten something off of an Internet auction -- I bought a couple of computers through uBid several years ago, including the HP Pavilion that was my main computer before Yggdrasil Mark I -- but this was my first eBay purchase. I don't know, it's not like there's much else going on in my life I can mention here right now.
