Curse You, Walmart!

Anyone read the Inkheart trilogy? If not, what the hell is wrong with you? Those books are freakin' awesome. Anyway, I've read the whole thing but I only own the first two books, and so I've been meaning to buy Inkdeath for ages. The thing is, the only place I ever go shopping is Walmart, and they never have it. FAIL.

Why not go shopping somewhere else, you might ask? Well, because 1: I don't have my own car here (-glares at parents-), and 2: I don't actually know where a Barnes and Noble's or a Borders might be.

But Walmart sells Inkdeath online, so I figured I'd just order it with my EKU Colonel Card and, while I was at it, preorder Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. 

Problem Numero Uno: even if I select one-day shipping, I won't get Kingdom Hearts until a week from today. Why is this? You got me. It's supposed to come out tomorrow, and if you add one day to that I should have it Wednesday, by my reckoning. Apparently no one's told Walmart that one day means ONE DAY, dammit.

Problem Numero Dos: Walmart.com doesn't have a 'pay with debit card' option. There went my strategy.

Solution? I'll just have to wait until Thursday when Emily makes a Walmart run to buy KH358. That is TWO WHOLE DAYS after it's supposed to come out, meaning all my friends have TWO WHOLE DAYS to get ahead of me. -cries-
