Because it makes me meh.

This is unnerving stuff:

I remember when the dollar was hovering around 60 cents.

So... I got bored last night and without internet and wanting to read something, I looked up a bunch of old RP logs. Read from... I think it was December 28 to the beginning of the fox misadventure (can't remember the date on that one. Mid January?). Interesting stuff, if mildly entertaining. I'd forgotten about some of the cute small things, like Lorna picking up a herd of men after walking down the beach (which grew larger with every post) and then throwing them off by giving them the number of a gay escort service. Fun stuff.

Just a quick follow-up: the bookie I want is now available on store shelves. I knew it was priced at $99.99 US but what shocked me was seeing the Canadian retail price - a whopping $160.00! What's doubly annoying is that I know that comic shops are billed in US dollars, so any Canadian retailer selling it at the printed SRP is making one helluva mark-up.

The two stores I saw it in had no info about adjusted pricing for the strong Canadian dollar. So needless to say I didn't buy it.

Grrrrr....
