FIRST BITCHES! :)

Sadly, I fail and ran out of SD space, so you didn't get to see the rest of the contents of the Office Space pack. But I am currently sipping some coffee from an Initech mug!

I'd like to thank Kwitko for making Chanukah come early this year (by a day) and for getting my all this awesome ish! My fridge went from mostly naked to saying such lovely things as: "stream on her interface" and "digital nachos system"

Everyone can thank Kwitko for ruining Christmas (damn jews!) :)

    OMG, this one time I met a Jew and he was like, "I'm conspiring against you" and it was so funny and I laughed.

    A package for a Mr. Snarkasm arrived at the office today courtesy of a Mr. Basil. As I have not yet finished my own delivery for said event, it remains currently unopened. Basil, I salute your promptness and will revel in your gift's contents after I have dispatched yours, which will arrive at different times (damn shipping fiascos).

    I got mine from Mr. Primesuspect today, but it came not in a box or an envelope, but in data sent over the Internet in the form of electronic mail.

    I punched in a code and logged on to World of Warcraft and look what showed up in my mailbox!

    I aquired a Celestial Steed from Mr. Brian!

    This is a totally awesome gift. I was totally not expecting to get something like this. It's too bad I'm not level 60, or I could show you it flying, but when I do get it to fly, I'm sure It'll be even more awesome.

    I was worried that maybe you already had one. Phew :D

    Enjoy! I hear tell the StarPony is immensely useful because you own it across all characters and it's awesome to have while leveling.

    Merry Christmas!

    I've been sooo tempted to buy a starpony. I know everyone who sees it is all like >_< YOU BOUGHT THAT AND DIDN'T GRIND FOR HOURS IN FIBLEGIBET VALLEY, but they're kind of awesome looking

    I'll be honest: if I was playing WoW still, I'd want one. They're incredibly useful in that you don't have to spend gold and they're always the top level mount for your riding skill.

    Mailed my secret santa their gift today!

    As an FYI to whoever got me; I won't be able to open mine until the 4th of January. I'm heading on back to Meechigan and I stupidly put my work address.

    Mr. Basil's parcel has arrived.

    No obvious clue as to the contents...

    normal_DSCF0204.JPG

    Hmm, paper?

    normal_DSCF0208.JPG

    Four stanzas of poetry? In my sekrit santa?

    normal_DSCF0206.JPG

    Woot! Stroopwafels, pepernoten and speculaas.
    Om nom nom.

    normal_DSCF0207.JPG

    And finally construction worker duck to stare at me, silently judging me when I eat his brothers in a couple of days...


    Big thanks to Snark, great gift and I still have part 1 to enjoy.

    Snark will probably have to correct this but AFAIK;

    Stroopwafels are the crack cocaine of biscuits, caramel between two waffles, rest it on top of a coffee cup and the caramel melts... <3

    Pepernoten are tiny little cinnamon/ginger/clove/nutmeg/pepper biscuits and the speculaas are a similar mixture only larger and are cut/moulded to a specific shape.

    TO WHOMEVER HAS ME:

    I moved this weekend, you have my old address. Hopefully, if you haven't sent yet, this is my new address:

    1220 N. Fair Oaks Ave. #3313
    Sunnyvale, CA 94089

    Apologies for the confusion. When I gave the old addy, I didn't know I was moving yet.

    These are accurate. Stroopwafels can be caramel or a buttery syrup based, but yep, rest them on top of your coffee and let 'em heat for a bit and they're a great snack.

    Pepernoten are my downfall. Luckily, they only really get sold for a month during Christmastime. Think everything delicious about ginger snaps and cinnamon toast rolled into one tiny baked treat. Eat a billion of them. Speculaas has a little different ingredient mix, but very similar. All true Nederlands treats. :)

    As for my gift, Basil, I fear, may have put me to shame. Behold:

    The box.

    Royal Mail. I feel fucking special today.

    5270523491_4a4da1fec9.jpg
    The message.

    With real Dutch! Alvast bedankt, Basil!

    The British television.

    Something to watch on holiday! The complete Black Books and season 1 of Monkey Dust. Culture education, here I come!

    The homemade tasties.

    Scottish Butter Tablet, from ye olde recipe. So delicious, and oh so damn hard to photograph.

    Hell yes. This, my friends, is a heat-activated Pacman mug.

    Couple other pictures (like of boxes!) here. Excellent gift, Basil. The whole thing rules. Also, Basil's gift keeps on giving, as I received this after a PM this morning:

    Humbler bundle

    I got the Humbler Indie bundle in the mail. So great. Thanks, Bas!
