Okay, I fell asleep way earlier than expected last night so here's the post.
edit: woops forgot how big these photos can be
I got home last night to find a MYSTERIOUS PACKAGE from SOMEONE WHOSE USERNAME IS THEIR FIRST NAME (OR MAYBE NOT BUT THEY STILL USED IT ON THE PACKAGE)
edit: argh address
Inside this package were TWO BOOKS, one book I've been interested in reading for a while, and a second that is HOLY SHIT IS THAT JOJO
edit: damn these photos
Also, an EXTREMELY NICE, heavy-bottomed drinking glass. Like this thing has WEIGHT to it. As Rachel mentioned, I immediately poured some scotch into the glass and drank it. It's super awesome!
edit: clearly I should crop these
Finally there was this very nice note. Did you really have JoJo just lying around for years until this point? If that's true, that's an awesome coincidence.
Thank you @Cristoval ! We're already reading the JoJo, and the glass will certainly see a lot of use. And than you for the posters, too!
Now people will have no choice but to send me stuff!
Glad ya like it! I was gonna send some whiskey to pair with the glass but I didn't know shipping booze would be such a hassle and/or illegal! The things you learn!
I liked that glass so much I bought one for myself! I lot of "connoisseurs" poo-poo scotch or whisky out of anything but a nosing glass, but no one looks respectful drinking out of those things. You need something with a bit of heft you can really wrap your claw around and swirl, preferably while sitting on a giant leather recliner in front of a raging fire.
It was an expensive (well, for me, anyway) scotch I bought with my christmas bonus - this one, to be exact!
Oooh, nice! I just got given a bottle of this at Christmas and I am excited to try it out because I've never had Welsh whisky before! The bottle my partner and I got given last year is about half empty and I feel a little guilty about it, but we've been only having a wee dram on special occasions (like birthdays, Easter, and Christmas) so we're extending it's life about as best we can without just leaving it in the bottle where it would be a total waste.
A ridiculously good buy! The only stupid expensive bottle of alcohol I regret not buying not affording is a $17,000 bottle of rum that came in a glass bottle with pewter (and I assume silver) barnacles reaching all the way around it. I don't even like rum anymore due to choices made in high school, but got damn that was a beautiful piece.

HAIL SATAN.
They have struck again! Apparently for the third time, as a package was scheduled to arrive on Xmas eve, was confirmed as delivered but I never actually got it. No idea what happened to it, hopefully a miscommunication and not an actual gift thief, since I haven't had that problem in almost a year of living here.
ANYHOO. A box!
Ooooo!
PRETTY.
The gifts, they match!
Okay so the pictures aren't great, but I now have a new gaming mouse and a new keyboard to go with it. THANK YOU SATAN whoever you are! Sorry if I missed the identity reveal in the first gift notes. . .
Hey, so a bit before christmas I received this cookbook in the mail:
I've had a bit of time to look through it and it looks really really interesting. There's a bunch of really beautiful photos and some really good looking recipies. It's gonna take me some time to source some ingredients, but i'm really excited to try it.
sorry it's taken me so long to actually post and confirm that it arrived.
My grandma had some health problems. At the age of 87 there are no non-trivial medical events, but this shit would have been scary even if she were 50 years younger. She's stable and recovering now, but she lives with my uncle and aunt... and I don't want to get into all the family drama, but nobody trusts this particular aunt and uncle to take good care of her. So I've been back and forth several times over the last two weeks, and instead of coming all the way back home, on the days I had to make an appearance at work I've been staying with a friend who lives closer to the Utah/Idaho border, and then making my commute to the office from the north rather than from the south.
Anyway, one of my cousins who lives close to grandma and normally helps her out was out of town for the holidays, but she got back last night. So today I helped finish building some accessibility enhancements to the old farmhouse, and then I'm finally on the way home tomorrow morning.
So, I just got my outbound Satans order taken care of, which sucks, because Christmas was last week. And also just got my outbound Saints order done, which sucks even more. None of it's projected to arrive until January 3rd at the earliest. And haven't been home to see what my own Satan sent to me in two weeks.
Realizing lately that I don't really trust or respect basically any of the moderators here. So, good luck with life, friends! Hit me up on Twitter @DesertLeviathan

Extremely understandable, I doubt even the devil would hold a grudge on such matters. I hope everything works out for your grandmother.

I bet the devil's grandma is a nice lady

I do want to try Suntory sometime, though maybe that's mostly the influence of the Yakuza games.
that is ridiculous
It's very nice indeed, but to be perfectly honest I actually prefer Auchentoshan Three Wood, which is about 1/6th the price.

I haven’t had Glenlivet yet, but enjoyed a Glenfiddich 12(?), maybe 15, my grandfather gave me.
