I’ve got three weeks to finish up this massive research paper, and the one book I really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really need is checked out to some asshole until June.  Fat lot o’ fucking good that does me.  Shit, my paper is on Japanese perspectives of ghosts in relation to view on death and the afterlife, and the book I want is “Ghosts in Japanese Culture:  Experiences in Death and Legend.”  Jesus, it is the only book translated into the English language with direct relevance to my freakin’ topic.  So thank you very much, Mr. Jeffrey Mahone.  If we ever meet, remind me to kick your ass!

So I had to buy the book from Amazon Booksellers.  I only had to pay $18 fo a used copy, adn I argue that I’d probably have stacked up that much in library fines anyway.  Still, it better be freakin’ worth it.
