'Heart Of Gold'
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Oh, and 2007? Don't think we've forgotten about you.
Fay, I just saw your Santa saying elsewhere that they had been waiting on one thing, and were now ready to send it (but possibly having worries about customs, and whether the post is safe, in Thailand, and so on).
So you have not been forgotten or lost.
I, like Fay, am not being an ungrateful hussy - it just hasn't arrived yet! But then I do live in a galaxy far, far away.
Awesome!
As to the post - as far as I can gather, it's actually pretty reliable. And unlike Egypt, I'm not unduly worried about the mail-handlers ransacking things and nicking stuff they like.
...'course, if Santa decides to send me a vibrator I could be in trouble, because they're illegal here* (!!!) - but honestly, I doubt that they check the post, and worst case scenario they'd confiscate it. Joyless buggers. Well, or if it were hard drugs (then I could get right down to living that 'Bridget Jones' lifestyle in the Bangkok Hilton!) or something that belittled the King, then I might be in bother. Otherwise, should be good to go, insh'allah.
Talking about foreign customs and attitudes this weekend at the SF con, I was told that while the Japanese are perfectly fine with vibrators shaped like characters and animals, the ones shaped like human body parts are illegal. Thus the plausible deniability.

Guess that's a no on the "Rama IX wears funny glasses" postcard, then.
Just kidding, I'm not your Santa. And if I were, I'd have sent jam. Also, his glasses are sleek and flattering.
Want some jam?
I just got home from vacation yesterday to find a package from (I believe) a CA zipcode, containing the book Wanderlust ( [link] ), a collection of photos from trains, airports, hotels, restaurants, etc. all over the world. Very cool! And since our trip home was the very definition of "hellish" (I was sick, bags went missing, planes were cancelled, then rebooked, then delayed, ad infinitum), I have to say it made me laugh to open up the book and see pictures of people sleeping in airports and feel nostalgic ALREADY for travelling. Anyway, Java cat, I'm assuming the book is from you? If so, thank you! It's perfect!
Talking about foreign customs and attitudes this weekend at the SF con,
Huh. Aims and I were at a con this weekend too...
...though I didn't talk about Japanese vibrators.
At least, not that I remember.

Hellooo... Kitty!

I got that for my step-dad!
Dear Seekret Santee,
My deepest apologies for my slackness. I shipped your goodies today via priority mail, so they should get to you by the end of the week. They are contained inside the currently popular "tube" packaging.
