The WB ticks me off

On the page with this spoilery DB interview, the WB manages to spell Wesley's name wrong as:

"Westley"

So I wrote them this pissy comment -- I know it is nitpicky and *too* pissy, and I am sorry, but it just got to me for some weird reason --

How can you possibly have spelled Wesley's name wrong? Silly WB, this is your OWN show, and yet you spell it "Westley"? Come on. This kind of carelessness, coupled with your shoddy history changing the day the show airs all over the place really makes fans think you don't care very much about Angel.

Amazon rules

There was a weird skip/scratch thing in the very first AtS S2 DVDs, and they are shipping a whole new set that should arrive tomorrow, no questions asked.

Nice gayboy at Blockbuster

Murphy's Law: we order some BtVS or AtS DVDs, then we go to the video store to rent some DVDs to fill the void until the Amazon package arrives. We get home, and, way ahead of schedule, the new DVDs are sitting on the porch fresh off the delivery truck.

But because of discussing this at Blockbuster in order to explain my late fee, the nice clerk turned out to be a fun gayboy who is really into BtVS/AtS. I am so psyched. That particular branch seems to have quite a few queer employees. We chatted geekily for about 15 minutes, and now I can look forward to going there. Cuz the local indie video store is great, but further from the house and not open as late.
