Glad it got there okay. Couldn't swing the virgils, but the Ale 81s more uncommon .
My advice is to drink them cold, and never more 1 or 2 a day!
We've got Virgil's root beer here, but I haven't see Ale 81 here before. They're very good. And drink sodas maybe once every week or two at most, so they'll last a while.
So background: I was, as mentioned, away from the States until the end of January, so I had to rely on second hand reports about whether my SS gifts had come in. Some items turned up, it sounded like secret Satan stuff - so, all good! Except when I got back, it turned out the parcels were just items I'd ordered for myself after leaving. Oh no! Were my packages stolen? Taken in for safe keeping by a neighbour? Lost by a nefarious postal system?
Well long story short, apparently I hadn't changed my wish list registry address from my work to my home. But before we'd hammered this out, KetBra, being a spectacularly overly generous dude, sent me emergency make-up gifts. So now I'm getting a positive INFLUX of giftage!! Help!
I've had a pretty tricky week, so it's taken me until now to document this deluge, sorry!
First off, some books I'd been wanting for simply yonks
Second off, a fascinating, highly relevant book by a HATED RIVAL LAB* yessss I can find out what they screwed up**
*not actually hated
** probably not much
and a Bridgemans! Do you know how much I need this? oh maaaaan you wouldn't BELIEVE how much I need this
Then, just when I figured Satan's work was surely done, this turned up
It's not just a throw. It's not just a REALLY WARM throw (and by god do I need this to cope with these New England winters). No, it's a friggin' REINDEER THROW!!!
I shall be snug as a tundra-dweeling caribou and I cannot thank you enough! this is awesome!
... BUT WAIT
THERE WAS MORE
WHAT THE HELL???
A Wusthof! one of the greatest bread knives!
I have already used it to slice some VERY crusty sourdough and it moved through that crust like friggin' butter. Unbelievable.
and THEN tonight I got David Mitchell's biography in the mail (didn't take a picture yet)
so now I had to quickly post to say KETBRA STOP IT'S TOO MUCH!!!
I have been remiss in uploading my own photos because plague and lazy but also because, well. I opened my presents the night we got back from PAX, already plague-ridden and exhausted, and my cat decided to celebrate by puking all over the package while I was asleep. Fortunately the actual gifts made it out unscathed but the adorable card was beyond saving, I really liked the saying that was on it but all I can remember is something about fish and prawns, and a very lovely note about where each of these things came from
before the pukening - you can see the lazer eye of a likely culprit
a dinosaur notebook and a chunky necklace! dinosaurs are Very Cool and I like the necklace
blurb on the back of the notebook about the person who made the design
Kanji patiently modeling my new necklace, because I look like garbage right now

(thank you!)
(so much!)
Oh hey I totally didn't see this!
Glad you liked the stuff!
There should be one more box that hopefully didn't get pummelled mercilessly as one of the items was just a bit too big for it
I had a shitty day at work today, but came home to a mysterious package. It was from my Secret Satan who, as it turns out is @Brovid Hasselsmof ! Thank you smof for the gift of pokemon! Happy holidays!
