Firefly: Gold Deal Box of the Day

I didn't start watching Firefly until it was cancelled, but I rented the show, became a huge fan, and promptly bought them from Amazon.

While a lot of the Amazon Gold Box Deals are kind of lame, today's deal is the complete series of Firefly on sale for only $19.99!

I know these deals sale out, so if you were planning on ever adding this to your movie collection, now's the time!

Two Winners in The Box

I forgot to mention, but this week, I got two great Amazon.com Gold Box Offers that I could refuse.

The first was for The Hunt for Red October (Special Edition) on DVD. It's been on my mind ever since Steven and I watch a submarine program on The Science Channel earlier this week, so I snapped it up and added Field of Dreams so I could qualify for free shipping. Can't wait for them to come in.

The second item was even better and one I can't believe they even put on sale - The Animatrix Gift Set (includes the CD soundtrack). We've watched some of these on the web and they are just incredible. It's going to make a perfect surprise gift for Steven since I told them they weren't coming out on DVD at all. If you're a fan of animation or The Matrix, I highly recommend them. I paired it with This Pen for Hire: A Jaine Austen Mystery by Laura Levine since it comes out in paperback at about the same time.

Some great stuff coming my way soon from Amazon!

Winos Wanted

Kind of funny, but three of the items in my Amazon.com Gold Box Offers were wine-related. Shame I don't drink the stuff!

.: Calphalon Commercial Hard Anodized 3-1/2-Quart Windsor Saucepan with Lid: I'm pretty sure I've checked with Steven on saucepans before and he never expressed any interest in getting one. Good price, though.

DVD in The Gold Box

I was checking out my Amazon.com Gold Box Offers today when I was presented with a DVD that I feel is essential to any collection - Trading Places.

How can you not love this movie? It was about $15 so I jumped at the chance to add it to my DVD collection.

The Return of The Gold Box

I hadn't posted my Amazon.com Gold Box Offers in quite some time, so I thought I'd share them even though I didn't buy anything.

.: Hoover F5866-900 SteamVac Deluxe Carpet Cleaner: we're not in the market for a vacuum, so pass.

Two in a Row

What can I say? I'm weak, so I made an order for the second day in a row from my Amazon.com Gold Box.

I was offered Buffy the Vampire Slayer - The Complete Second Season on DVD for about $10.00 off. This is another one of those shows that I knew I would love, but never got around to watching. I guess I'll get to finally see it now. :-)

Should I or Shouldn't I?

In my Amazon Gold Box I just got offered Buffy the Vampire Slayer - The Complete Second Season on DVD for $10 off.

I have never seen Buffy, but everything I've heard about it indicates that I would love it. Now I have an hour to decide: should I or shouldn't I buy it? Hmmm.

Right Out of The Box

I ordered the first item out of my Amazon.com Gold Box today.

I was offered Twin Peaks - The First Season (Special Edition) DVDs for $5.00 off. While I never got to watch the show, knowing what the types of things that I like, I have always thought that Twin Peaks would be right up my alley. A few gift certificates later and the first season is mine for a mere $5.00 and change. Now, does anyone have the pilot they can loan me?

Some cool items in my Amazon.com Gold Box Offers, but nothing that we really needed, so I passed on everything.

.: Emile Henry Couleurs 8-1/2-Inch by 5-1/2-Inch Individual Lasagna Baker, Set of 2, Red: I thought this is something Steven might have been able to use since he's started baking lasagna, but he wasn't interested.

I hadn't shared my Amazon.com Gold Box Offers lately, so here's what was in The Box today.

.: Calphalon Commercial Nonstick Collector's Edition 10-Inch International Griddle/Crepe Pan: Steven already makes excellent crepes, so no need to get a pan just for that purpose.

Pasta, Anyone?

The first product in my Amazon.com Gold Box Offers today was a Villaware Imperia Pasta Machine. Steven and I have watched a lot of Iron Chef together and he's always impressed when the chefs make their own pasta, so as soon as I saw this, I called him up at his poker game and asked him how interested he might be in making his own. When he found out that it was super cheap thanks to The Gold Box, he said it would make a great gift so I bought it for him and Jemima J: A Novel About Ugly Ducklings and Swans for me (hey, I to get free shipping I had to make another purchase. It was completely self-less!). Cool little gadget, huh?

Nothing that I wanted in my Amazon.com Gold Box Offers today, so quite a lot of passing took place.

.: Goldeneye (Special Edition): I've only seen a few Bond films (all of them with Pierce Brosnan), and I've never been particularly impressed with the series. Steven loves these films, but doesn't want them on DVD so pass.

A DVD Winner in The Gold Box

Another purchase made in my Amazon.com Gold Box Offers today.

.: M*A*S*H - Season One (Collector's Edition): I was too young to really get into M*A*S*H and I don't really have any desire to do so now. Pass.

.: Stabila 24680 72" Level for Framing/Trim Carpentry with Hand Holes: I don't really do any carpentry, so going to pass on this.

.: Young Frankenstein (Special Edition): I have heard so much about this movie and from so many people that I bought it to save the extra $2.25. :-) What the hell, it's been on my wishlist so long I figured I might as well. I also bought Cieli di Toscana by Andrea Bocelli to get the free shipping. I gave this CD to my best friend Jeanna last Christmas and she loved it.

Mostly items of no interest in my Amazon.com Gold Box Offers today, but the movie I was offered did give me pause.

.: Uniden 2.4GHz Cordless Speakerphone (TRU3466): it seems like all the phones in our house are crappy. Either they don't stay charged very long, they get really bad static, or something else goes wrong with them. Maybe it's time to look into getting a different one.
