OK, so now I had another mystery package show up at my door from someone obviously familiar with my reading habits.



This is a few days after the turkey soda, which is either a secret santa offering or from a certain mischevious friend who likes to send me gifts without taking the blame.



Either way, thanks to those responsible!

Jones Soda is the best!


I am waiting for those flavor reviews as well.

Listening to my SIGNED PFT Freak Wharf CD at work on my heaphones today and getting strange looks from people cos I'm laughing too much. It arrived today right as I was leaving for work, so great timing.

Thanks, Hugman!!!!!

We had some major blizzard action here so my Santee wil be getting his within the week. Sorry!!!

You are welcome! I thought I might get lucky and it might arrive on time, but mail from Los Angeles to Lincoln, NE isn't put on the fast track, I guess.

Yeah, what's up with THAT?

heh heh

You know, it may have originally been on time but we got 2 blizzards in a row so shit went cray-zay here in town. Everything was delayed. Trying to figure out why I'm still living here ...

No, seriously. It was a great great great gift. I couldn't be more thrilled!

Just got the DVD, Pastor Josh!  Thank you!
Oh, good heavens. I didn’t realize. I send my condolences out to the rest of the O’Connor family.

Thank you Jesse from Astoria for the awesome bag, dog treats, and doggie iphone.  My dog tried to take it on our walk but I didn't want him to lose it.  Have a great New Year.
Sarah

You're welcome :-)

I'm a little late in posting because I've been traveling and stuff. Thank you Jason Grote for the Forrest Gump themed t-shirt commemorating my attempt to inflame the movie thread, it made me laugh! Also the cat toy, a bunch of Hawaiian leis and the copy of your play!

Glad you liked everything, and got the joke!  The Leis are a re-gift from Joe Lunchpail.  I'm saving the Truck Nutz for my little brother the guitarist for Mount Olympus, who wants to fasten them to his fixed-gear bike.
Oh, good heavens. I didn’t realize. I send my condolences out to the rest of the O’Connor family.

Wow, my gift just arrived in time to ring in the new year. It's a bunch of records from VA/DC indie bands from back in the day (faraquet, D-Plan, Fugazi, the Vehicle Birth) oh and Tortoise and Peter Tosh - Legalize It. I'm gonna have to go through them all more carefully, but this will give me loads of listening pleasure.  Who is this from, Barry Egan? Muchas Gracias.

I made the mistake of bringing the soda to my parents house on the 25th so the non-tofurkey ones have already been consumed.  But I still have the full slate of tofurkey at my disposal ...

Jason, I'm glad you liked it.  I had a lot of trouble picking something.  When I asked you about sending you a thank-you gift, I was trying to get some hints.  Sorry it was late.

Courtney, oh my holy hell.  Your gift was amazing.  I'm on vacation this week, but I'm wearing the tie to church next week.  Usually I don't wear ties that Jeeves wouldn't approve of, but that was too amazing.  I haven't listened to all the music yet, but it looks great.  I love learning about local music.  That hand-made book is beautiful.  All I can say I thank-you.

You mean I should have sent LOCAL music? Nobody ever shares the rules with me until the game's over.

My Secret Santa present arrived to me today! Like I said, our packages and mail were held as we took our vacation and I got to open it this morning.  My AWESOME SS, hugel, sent me:



My Custom Van by Michael Ian Black
Visioneers on DVD
2 45's
-Las Palabras. Mariposas/Un Momento
-Ted Leo and The Pharmacists. "Rock N Roll Dreams'll Come Through"/Zach Galifianiakis. "Up In Them Guts"
Booyah the Oblitorator comic 175/200
Archivalist Care Package 2009
a Carmax Keychain
4 stickers (3 FOT and 1 UCB)
OBOY postcard

and last, but not least, my very own "Newbridge is for lovers" t-shirt.

I think I can fairly say that I'm overwhelmed by this present, seeing as how he hit the bar, raised the bar, then broke the bar. IFLY, hugel. And AuntieChristina for organizing this. So amazing.  :D :D :D

I'm getting really worried about mine - I sent it out a little late (a few days before Christmas), but I paid for the faster shipping and it still hasn't reached my Sanatee. So if you've got a delinquent secret santa, don't worry! It might be me, and my country's weird postal service might be to blame.
