Hec has a new tag, and...I don't think GC does, but maybe she does.
Also, no one gave Kristin props for quoting
Hitchhiker's Guide,
so I'm doing that now.
Typo Boy, that picture is great. Ha!
Holy crap about your boss, Tep. I hope it all goes well.
Fnarrr.
Back during Christmas time, a lady in Australia I know on LJ who adores my writing--such an intelligent, discerning lady--said she was going to send me a little gift, just because she liked my stuff and she figured House Neil could use some prezzies.
In the interests of costs, she sent it by boat, kissing it for luck and crossing her fingers. She reassured me that if it didn't arrive, at least it should have some great adventures.
One month passed. Two months. She asks if I ever got it, I said no, she said she hoped some customs agents were getting a laugh out of it.
Today, three months and one day after she sent it, this big-assed package from Australia is sitting on my doorstep. It doesn't even look like it's been opened and resealed, which is just as well, because Utah frowns on people receiving vintage bottles of wine in the mail. I'm guessing it's vintage, 2001 Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon. Labels saying the vinyard has all sorts of awards and such.
There's also a page-a-day calendar with pretty pictures of Italy in honor of my story "Nessuno," but that's nearly beside the point. How tremendously cool that a bottle of wine traveled in the belly of a cargo ship from Australia to the US, then somehow from the port to me. My mailman must think I'm a very interesting person.
Yay, I made Kristin happy.
You did. I love that quote, but I thought maybe no one knew it since it's not all that common. It popped right into my head after Cindy's post.
Mr. Broom had used it very recently, so the association was fresh.
Oh he did? Okay, never mind. It was fresh for me because I just reread the first HHGttG.
Are you less happy cause I suck? I'm sorry.
Heh. No, I'm not less happy, and you don't suck. I'm actually just feeling a little futless and bored. I'm sleepy, yet nsm able to sleep. I have work to do, but I'm too unfocused at this point to do any of it. I have to get up early for work yet can't seem to motivate myself to lie in bed and force myself to rest. I'm actually thinking I might go read for a little bit and then see if I get tired.
