    Just want to let my santa know the gift arrived safely. :)

    The postman arrived just when I was about to leave for work. Of course I couldn't resist and opened it. Will post pictures later. I'm at work now and after work I'm going with my friends to see the Desolation of Smaug. I love fantasy, so the books are right up my alley. Not sure what the third one is about, which I will find out later tonight!

    Thank you, Hector!

    Ha, that's me! I saw you were a fan of Community, so I thought you might dig the third book as well, as it was written by the guy that created that show.

    Dear Santee,

    My package is too big for the box.

    Oh, it's written by Dan Harmon? Sounds like it'll be witty and funny. Thanks!

    Now I know who my Secret Santa is! It's @minirhyder ! In the post today, not only did I get a pair of amazon packages containing rad card games (Love Letter & Hanabi), I also got a letter from minirhyder. A hand-writte letter. That is over two pages long. Every line. My hand hurts just looking at it.

    All this in addition to that fantastic starter brewing kit I posted about a few pages ago.

    Thank you @minirhyder you managed to nail a very hard to stalk santee to a T!

    Hey Santa! I got my gift and it is absolutely excellent and I love it! Not sure how you knew about my love affair with Hayao Miyazaki, but Starting Point, a collection of essays and writings about the man himself along with the novel of My Neighbor Totoro is a sweet haul!

    You know, oddly enough that is the one movie of his I have never seen. I have even read several essays that reference scenes from My Neighbor Totoro, but somehow managed to never pick up the full movie. I will remedy that problem as soon as I finish the book.

    So a big thanks @Maz- ! Sorry for taking so long and I will get pics up soon of my uncooperative animal package checkers, but its the end of the semester and all the grading is reducing my brain to mush so that I can only follow the most basic functions upon getting home (Eat, sleep, and starbound, not necessarily in that order).

    Good ol' Facebook stalking :P

    Glad you like it! Don't worry about taking a while to post here, I was just worried that maybe someone else might've signed for your package and took it since Amazon listed it as "delivered".

    but Chevy Chase hates it and thinks there should be more slapstick and less long form storytelling between chapters.

    A package arrives:
    IMAG0690_zpsdc1ecfba.jpg
    I have used one of my Santee's gifts to cover up the addresses. Tee-hee.. :D

    Cats discover package:
    IMAG0693_zps7f7e18da.jpg
    Now let me tell you a story about this little shit right here. The package was sitting on the dining room table waiting to be opened when my other half and I heard the sound of a cardboard box popping open. We both looked over and saw Oglaf here laying next to the open box. We asked him if he'd opened the box and he just stared up at us, and reached his paw into the box, placed it upon the contents and then pulled it out, all without breaking eye contact. It was like, "Bitch, this is MAH box!" I wish we had the camera close at hand at the time.

    Reminded me of this:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjdWf5dWAYA

    Our little cat Titan came to see what the catmmotion was all about:

    Better shot where she's looking at the camera:

    IMAG0708_zps63ea6908.jpg

    Knife:
    IMAG0709_zpsd1586243-1.jpg

    Thank you so much Santa, I loved Pacific Rim, and it is the perfect movie for my 3D collection. Also sweets are my favorite, especially chocolate with creme in the middle. OH God I just want to rub it all over myself! Ahem, anyway Santa please expose yourse... err I mean reveal yourself to me. Yeah, that's what I meant, reveal yourself... >.>

    @The_Spaniard - I love the fact that you named your cat after a fantasy-world porn webcomic. And that most people probably don't even know.

    I only know because I auctioned off a copy of the book at a charity auction. First page I opened to was a vagina spider fellating a man in his sleep. My co-auctioneer is deathly afraid of spiders. Not sure he ever recovered. For my part, I calmly closed the book and never, ever, hazarded a second look. Nope. Not even online. Not me.

    Never.

    Also, nice husky. Love his reaction to the brandishing.

    I am quite familiar with the comic, and no the cat is not named after it. Nor is little cat, as we call her, named after project Titan.

    Also that husky belongs to our good friends. His name is Loki and he's a broken derp husky. He hardly makes any noise and is pretty small and skinny for being full grown.

    The @Judge-Z doth protest too much.

    Anyway, looks like my package is getting delivered tomorrow and not today, like the tracking originally said. Stupid mail system.

    edit: Or not. Now to play the gift get-ing game...

    real edit: Just remembered I didn't think to put my forum name on anything. Whoops.

    Here I was minding my own business trying to resist the lull of opening my presents I received from my secret Santa until the 25th and s/he decided to steam gift me via proxy! (How am I suppose to find out who you are if you keep doing it via proxy! ;_;)

    So today my Secret Santa

    Whoever that person may be

    Used Proxy The Elf to leave me a $20 PSN code!

    Here is my dilemma - I was gonna post a screen grab of whatever I actually used the $20 towards, but...man, nothing is grabbing my eye on PSN right now. I just scrolled through the entire game lists on PS3/Vita (there's nothing really out on the PS4 digital store yet) and I've already purchased everything I want to play. This actually means it's the perfect gift - it's a service I use so much that I've literally bought everything I want to play on it, even a pre-order on Assassin's Creed: Liberation HD a couple weeks ago (which this would have been perfect for, seeing as that game was $19.99)

    But trust me, this wallet amount will be used.

    When does Octodad come out again? I need Octodad in my life.

    Anyways, thank you very much, Santa!

    Santee,

    your stuff was supposed to come today. Apparently UPS gave it to your local post office and expects THEM to deliver it, so that counts as the end of the UPS part of this transaction and hence, a "delivery date" of the 10th. Anyway, I guess it's coming tomorrow?

    Santa, if you hunted around and found the secret hint list I left you, you have read that I will eat any random food which arrives in the strange boxes in the mail.

    This is no longer be the case. I have embarked upon an voyage of self discovery, and doctors tell me that gluten/wheat and/or milk-based foods might be destroying me from within! :'(

    So yeah, don't send that stuff. Thanks!
