    There has been another delivery. A large paper envelope this time.

    I readied a small arsenal to deal with this one.

    ADhljcA.jpg

    Turning the envelope over, I found a message written there.

    Bk5U6n0.jpg

    "OPEN CAREFULLY

    (NO KNIVES)"

    Listen, if you knew the kind of week I've been having...

    wcqa60j.jpg

    But fine, no knives. I'll just tear it open. It's only paper.

    LlRgOp7.jpg

    It tore open quickly, almost as if it wanted to be opened.

    LOqTwZp.jpg

    And then continued, rapidly coiling up and around my arm.

    Eopqpai.jpg

    I grabbed a knife to try to deal with it before it got too far.

    0SRtUdQ.jpg

    But it was too fast for me, wrapping itself around my neck and causing me to drop my knife.

    4wKWODV.jpg

    84EnuB2.jpg

    OhXlQ46.jpg

    8ir1276.jpg

    After all... it's only paper.

    puA7AZI.jpg

    With the beast burned down, I went to examine the contents of the package.

    U4uF8sJ.jpg

    "A TRIBUTE

    N.R. DEVIL"

    3BkWT7n.jpg

    Well, would you look at that handsome devil?

    Thank you @NRDEVIL! I love it!

    Amazing.
    The light ( and lack thereof ) from the windows was a nice touch

    Oh shit, I thought Satan was done with me, but the dark lord must've had a few more tricks up his sleeve - package waiting for me this morning:
    MfqqSKt.jpg

    Just what I needed to ensure all my assorted nerderies are on display.

    And when combined with the signature from the last note, it seems my Satan goes by "N.A.Phtali", clearly some kind of secret code which I'll need more time to decipher.
    Thanks so much, Naphtali , and happy Satanmas!

    You're welcome! Glad you like them.

    Oh yeah no worries on your part, it was more the fact that the mail tracker on my end hasn’t even updated the parcel location since it landed in Sydney.

    Why is mail tracking so consistently terrible?

    Mind you it's always very tempting to wrap the dog's gifts, because they really love tearing off the paper.

    Haechi got a Christmas present from friends last night.

    I gave it to him wrapped.

    He smelled it and wagged in a confused manner and ran away to get a stuffed toy.

    Hidden presents do not compute.

    Also I AM SO EXCITED TO SEE THAT ART, @Straightzi , I met up with Veldrin and his wife on Tuesday and got the inside scoop on it and have been vibrating with excitement ever since

    I love that haechi's default response to a confusing situation is "bring a toy."
    ... I might start adopting this myself.

    One of our dogs fucking delights in opening wrapping paper, to the point where on birthdays if she spots tissue paper and doesn't get to find a cookie inside of it she will be disappointed and depressed for a little while after

    The other one starts to dance around excitedly but would rather make you do the unveiling than unwrap things his own damn self

    SO

    After getting calls from both UPS and FedEx today to be let into the building, and only a tiny bit of concern as to whether or not this was all an elaborate heist, I got home to see two large boxes!!

    One of which held this Umbra dish rack!
    9ok1oua62aom.jpeg

    Which, well, considering this is how I currently leave my dishes to dry
    syihwbjfltrs.jpeg

    I....desperately needed.

    I also got this GORGEOUS bar cart, which basically made me cry because I absolutely did not expect this, and now I have this incredible accent piece which both ties my room together, matches furniture like the bookcase I have adjacent to it, and is simple enough to make whatever I put on top of it draw the eye
    bhhjubn9divg.jpeg

    388y85zki38j.jpeg

    One of the aims I had when moving out this time was to keep working on my low-key goal to be a fancy home mixologist, and I am tremendously excited to fill this cart up with new materials to do just that

    Thank you so much!!!
