Sony.......isn't very smart....

So remember back in October when I saw This Is It? I believe my review of the movie is proof how much I loved it and I think I stated in it that I had already pre-ordered my DVD.

So yesterday, the 26th....was when the movie was available in stores EVERYWHERE, I assumed that when I got home it would be in my mailbox.

BUT NO!

It wasn't there. What is the point of pre-ordering something if YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET IT CONVENIENTLY? I did the pre-order to show my support to Sony, MJ's people etc etc. I pre-ordered it so I wouldn't have to go to the store and buy it....that it would just appear in my mailbox on the day of release.

BUT NO!

So I tracked down my confirmation email and called Sony. I only had to wait about 15 seconds on hold until a real person answered the phone, who proceeded to tell me - "Yeah, we don't have any, just go buy it in one of our Sony Style stores."

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT??

"Yeah, we don't have any, so I will just cancel your order and you can go buy it at one of our Sony Style stores."

"But I ordered it in October....it came out yesterday.....why don't you have any for people who pre-ordered it?"

"Yeah, just go to any of our Sony Style stores and you can buy one there"

"But I already ordered it here....from you.....I don't want to go to the mall and buy it. I wanted it delivered to my mailbox."

"Yeah, go to Sony Style and you can buy it there."

"Do you realize how dumb this is that I PRE-ORDERED it and I didn't get it on the day of release because you didn't send me one?"

"Yeah, we don't have any, you'll have to go to Sony Style and buy it there."

I swear if she said Sony Style one more time I was going to scream.

After it became clear that she didn't realize my total and utter devotion to one MICHAEL JACKSON, KING OF POP, I just told her to cancel my order, in which she responded.....

"Yeah, now just go buy it at one of our Sony Style stores."

AGGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!

Needless to say, I will be purchasing mine ELSEWHERE!

Dreams.....

Had the weirdest dream in a long time last night.....dreamed I had penguins for pets and they lived in my mailbox. I consulted my What's In A Dream book and surprisingly, there was nothing in there about it. Nothing about penguins....nothing about mail boxes......odd.

New Prince Song!

Click here to hear it!!

http://www.myfoxtwincities.com/dpp/sports/prince-reveals-song-for-vikings-saints-game

Prince has released a new song about the Minnesota Vikings, inspired by a big win over the Dallas Cowboys and days ahead of the NFC Championship game in New Orleans.

“I saw the future,” said Prince.

Prince was in attendance for the Vikings 34-3 win. He said he went home night after the Cowboys game and wrote the song, "Purple and Gold," which he says came easy and fast.

"Purple Pride" was given exclusively to FOX 9's Robyne Robinson on Thursday. The Vikings love it and put the song on their website Friday afternoon.

Purple and Gold Lyrics

the veil of the sky draws open the roar of the chariots touch down we r the ones who have now come again and walk upon water like solid ground as we approach the throne we won't bow down this time we won't b denied

raise every voice and let it b known in the name of the purple and gold

we come in the name of the purple and gold all of the odds r in r favor no prediction 2 bold we r the truth if the truth can b told long reign the purple and gold

the eyes say ready 4 battle no need 4 sword in hand we r all amped up like a rock n roll band ready 2 celebrate every score ready 2 fight the elegant war ready 2 hear the crowd roar

that's what we came 4 and so much more in the name of the purple and gold r spirits may b tired r bodies may b worn but since this day is r destiny r history – that's y we must b 4ever strong as the wind that blows the Vikings' horn in the name of the purple and gold

CHORUS
