    Thank you so much this projector will probably take me ages to put together but should be super fun!

    And this little kit has a bunch of stuff I can use to learn more about arduino and another compatible board!

    A Monster Calls made me literally blubber. I was a fucking mess after that movie.

    @Raijin Quickfoot no reason... but did a package arrive today for you?
    I got one yesterday...I sent you a message on Discord

    I failed at checking discord. Yeah it was me.

    So I actually started working on that projector puzzle thing.

    Got caught up in it for hours lol. Now my right leg hurts from sitting in my uncomfortable computer chair.

    I got it put together after taking a break for sleep.

    It works too, it's neat! Sometimes it gets a little hung up on the splice in the film so I'll have to play with that.

    Another item got here! This one with no note

    8dw9n7hqrizf.jpg

    Fancy wireless earbuds! I added these ones to my list on recommendation of dankmus from YouTube! Plus they'll supper come in handy because I probably won't be able to comfortably wear my big headphones over my cpap mask headgear when I get it.

    Thank you so much mystery Saint!

    Me again, like I said, I fail at Gift notes. Hope they are good, I love the set I have personally.

    Late night tonight at work, but I got to dip back home for a bit this afternoon and y’all are lunatics (I say in the most affectionate way). Pics soon, but way more stuff for Luca than I could have dreamed and a movie that has eluded me for years that I could never justify buying for myself because it never goes on sale.

    LUNATICS!

    I fixed the splice

    The tape on there had been blocking the holes on the film so I replaced it and cut the tape out of the holes. Those two frames are a little dark and cloudy now because I used not perfectly clear tape but it still looks ok.

    my life is a tragicomedy

    maple had another seizure last night. she's fine, was back to normal when she got home. had to wait in the car from like 11pm to 3am, though (didn't get the call from the doctor until 230am that she was okay), so my brain is fried

    appreciate all you great people, though. maple grabbed her tire toy to play as soon as she got home

    another present??

    6eldc1jz7vu6.jpg

    wireless headphones! these are way nicer than i expected (tech has really improved since i last bought a pair in like...2013?). i haven't listened to them yet (charging), but i tried them on and they are incredibly light and comfortable

    also, that little card that says "NOTICE" has nothing else on it and you know what? i enjoy a little mystery and danger

    I was very confused for a second and then I went by front door and saw a package there

    Breaking this into 2 parts, because y’all are killing me with kindness. How are you making me reconsider my feelings towards 2020?

    fwl0b0h1c7yl.jpeg

    First was from (I’m guessing based on the box) the same person who got Luca Uno Dice. We have the 5 minute story book for Pixar and he may have one of these at his mom’s. They are awesome for bedtime, as they’re self-contained and easy to parse out. He’s also getting more confident at reading and these are at a good level for him. Plus any game that involves throwing something at me is a plus. This kid has energy to burn.

    qpb2fchsr71u.jpeg

    An absurd display here from the first person I can directly shout out as @Blackhawk1313 is responsible for me bawling like a baby two days in a row. Maybe it was being able to put a name I knew to it, but also just a goddamn Borderlands boss lootsplosion, but also big gulping sobs. The slime kit is the best kind of gift someone can give another persons kid; an unruly mess that the kid will love and I guarantee he will fucking love this. The coloring book has a real chance of stealing Xmas as well. I kind of feel like some of you are cheating and know my kid, because he has chosen to bring his binoculars to my house as his “home toy” maybe 50% of the time he stays with me.

    The clothes are absolutely needed as I’ve been rotating the same 5 sets of work clothes for a little over 2 years. I also trust other people to dress me more than I do, as I’ll just pull an Inspector Gadget and buy the same thing over and over. A red shirt! The absolute swagger of it!

    Also not pictured: a mic screen and a 2nd red shirt that I believe may be one of those doubles he mentioned.

    Part 2

    Just one item, but one that kind of floored me, because I legit did not expect to ever see it. I only had it on my list as a kind of pipe dream. I love horror movies and my favorites are the arty high-concept ones from the 70’s and 80’s. I’ve heard about Possession for years as a masterpiece, but it doesn’t ever appear to stream or rent in the US. The only way you can get it is an absurd limited run Anchor Bay DVD or the Mondo Blu that never dips below $40. It’s my most anticipated watch, but I could never justify it.

    Spoiled for boobies.

    The note includes a from, but I believe the vendor filled it by hand and boy I can’t make heads or tails of what this says. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

    Think I’m going to set aside tomorrow night for it. Every clip, trailer, and review makes it seem laser targeted at my interests.

    Yeah apologies on any double stuff, Amazon has now apparently completely deleted my wife’s account and they are unable to explain why. And so far they’ve been unable to find it to restore it so it’s an absolutely nightmare of a situation trying to figure out what shipped and what didn’t. Hopefully we’ll get that squared away soon and whatever didn’t head out to you fine folks yet will do so. At any rate, no ones problem but our own, but hate any confusion it creates for y’all.

    Oh hey, there was also a gift card for some wine from online in the envelope that I had previously missed! But I shan't take a picture of it because it has the redemption code on it.

    Thanks a ton, man!
