I need to get off of Buy.com's mailing list. Last night, I checked my DAILY update of their sales and almost bought a MyVu player. I stopped myself at the last minute when I saw something troubling about this player being specifically for a certain generation of iPods. As my iPod is currently about thirteen generations behind anything, I'm sure it wouldn't work with. Besides which, my iPod isn't even a video player, so wtf are you doing, STOP BUYING SHIT!

Ahem. This same process did not stop me while I was at home for THE BABY SISTER'S GRADUATION (OMFG I AM NEVER GETTING OVER THIS) from going to Linens and Things (which is going out of business and had shit on sale) and purchasing a new DVD stand (to replace the leaning tower), a table-top wine cork remover (shut up, those things are awesome), and one of those hot/cold eye packs (it was only $1!!!). Oh, and then THE BABY SISTER WHO WAS BUYING STUFF FOR COLLEGE took me to Bed Bath & Beyond, where I purchased a hook for my towels (the over-the-door hooks are preventing the door from closing properly and I'm only just--two years later--getting around to fixing that), a rod to replace the sagging one in the bathroom, and four flexible cutting boards (with color and picture coding of a cow, chicken, fish, and vegetable so you know which one to use for what!). Spent $6 on the things I needed, all told, but like ten times as much on the stuff that I went, "I could use that, therefore I have an excuse to buy it. HURRAH!"

I'm alarmed at how frequently this LJ tag gets used.

Are ALL Linens'n'Things going out of business or just the one there?

I believe they're in chapter 11, which means they're trying to stave off full bankruptcy. So probably not all the stores are closing. Check their website, maybe? It might know more than I. (Which is not hard.)
