Mail call.

I love getting mail. It's always accompanied by that "oooh, what'd I get, what'd I get?!" feeling, and possibly bouncing. Sometimes that enthusiasm is dampened by receiving only bills or junk mail, but some days, like this one, there are goodies from friends, thoughtful friends who are wonderfully cool.
Today I got a postcard from
daegaer, from France. Looks beautiful there, my friend, and thanks for sending it!
From
deborak, there was a large box containing "Wooden Ships and Iron Men", a cool naval war game I can't wait to play. You can reenact all sorts of famous naval battles, and looks like a ton of fun. She also threw in cards from which you construct a model pirate ship, the Revenge, from an RPG called Pirates of the Spanish Main. Methinks it is a subtle strategy for getting me hooked on the game ;P
Mania also gave me three gummi squid! I had no idea such wonders existed. Gummi squid! I may eat two of them, and save the third so I may keep it and love it and call it my squishy.
There is much happiness today. Right now I'm eating fresh yummy strawberries, Golden Cheshire cheese (yes, import, hush you errant Debs), and fresh bread from Panera with English Somerdale butter (omg, so good. This butter is amazing and yet imported so I can't justify buying it too often. Still, yum). Also, PG Tips tea, the best tea in the world. Watch me as I revel in my nearly-all-carb meal that's part of my balanced diet.
Oh yes, not-so-gratuitous-IP for new squid icon. Combining ships and squids, how marvelous ;)
*off to work on my resumé so I can apply for those lab jobs*

Date: 2004-07-22 08:12 pm (UTC)Tips is the best tea I've ever had, and I've had tons of it. Such a smooth flavor, not bitter at all. I doubt I'll ever drink anything else.

(Meanwhile, where's yours?)

Imported cheese and gummi squid
Date: 2004-07-22 08:30 pm (UTC)LMAO at: I may eat two of them, and save the third so I may keep it and love it and call it my squishy. And you wonder why we tease you about the squid. :)
Good luck with the resume. Make sure you highlight your science classes.
Re: Imported cheese and gummi squid
Date: 2004-07-22 08:47 pm (UTC)I do try ;)

I haven't the foggiest notion. I think you guys are just mean :P

Thanks! And don't worry, my biology degree will be at the top of the list.
