Junk Mail

So Peter's been getting a whole bunch of weird mail lately. It started out with three Disney DVD's. The next day he got a subscription to a scrapbooking book club. (Which, by the way, I find really weird. I mean, how many books about scrapbooking can there be?) This week he got a bunch of Marvel Comic memorabelia from Scholastic, and a subscription to children's books. At first we thought maybe it was a disgruntled defendant signing him up for things (while these things come to our address, our apartment number is notably missing). But it turns out that everything is already paid for, by an American Express card, which is not a card of ours. Peter's been continuously calling these companies and sending these things back, but we haven't found out whose card is being charged for all of this. It's totally weird. Even though we're not being charged or invoiced, we've decided to finally make the small investment of a shredder, just in case. I think what I find most funny about it all is that every one of the things sent are completely the opposite of our lives. Childrens books/movies and scrapbooking? Why couldn't someone send us the complete OED or pay off our student loans? Seriously.
