Snow, Snow, Sun.

Watching the weather here has been a lot like watching a child who doesn't know who they want to get out in a game of Duck, Duck, Goose.

"Snow, Snow, Snow, Snow, Snow...Uhm, Snow, Snow, Snow, Snow, Snow, Sun!"

I've been snowed in for five days and only now has the snow let up enough to actually attend a class. My days consisted of writing mail, shoveling, working out, shoveling, and then cleaning. It was a really dull affair, and I popped into Steam twice or so to break the monotony. Everyone seems to be doing pretty well; everyone's getting my mail, with the exception of Strongest. I think that the German postal system's out to get me, because I've been writing everything extremely careful, but neither postcard has gotten there.

Valentine's Day's coming, so I've mailed out a big shipment of Cucumber Soda and Chocolates. Be sure that, if you get them both, you don't eat the Chocolates before you Kapapa it up. Cucumber is a very light and dainty little flavor, and I worry the chocolates might totally overpower it...

To a few of you, overseas, I'll give you your Customs Forms, because I'm worried the mail might not get there; I don't trust anyone from Saint Joseph to spell "Mönchengladbach" correctly:

Brando - Customs Form#: LC011615478US

Meiling - Customs Form#: LC011615481US

Parsee - Customs Form#: LC001615455US

Okuun - Customs Form#: LC011615495US

Cirno - Customs Form#: LC001615455US

Everyone else, I'm really sorry, but they didn't give me a Postal Code to track the package because it was Domestic.

I got my issue of Johnny Wander in the mail - It's all the comics I've painstakingly archived in dead-tree format, with all sorts of little goodies that I adore: A recipe for Dream Curry, How to sew a Heat-Pad for Sore Muscles, a Diagram of Spacklehaus, and all sorts of other delights. I think I'm going to bust out my needle and thread, and sacrifice my brown headscarf to make a lovely heating-pad - that seems like just the hand-made, personal gift to win someone over.

...Maybe not the brown one - I think that has some sort of weird polyurethane in it, and it'd be a shame to say, "You're a delightful person - put this on!" and have it stick to someone's neck because they heated it up.
Maybe I'll just-...
I'll find something.

Oh, about the Cardboard Notebook: I've been taking all the stuff that would normally go here, and writing it into a little brown cardboard notebook. There's a lot of Murasa and Ichirin doodles in there. I'll see if I can get them up somehow. Maybe I'll try to redraw them in Paint?
There's:

"SEX - HOT, CASUAL SEX".
"Me on the Phone with Aaron at 1:00 AM."
"Kite"
"Pious Work, Work, Work"
"FOR LATVIA!"
"My Floating Lighthouse, and the Costa del Sol Torch-Tower"
"Ichirin is: Mister Blonde"
"Unzan is: Mister Pink"
"Snowed In"
"Three Weeks Fapless"
"Brine Maiden"
"Shit..."
"College Government - Persian Rug Pattern"
"Anemone"
" 'FUKKEN MASTERPIECE' - Captain Murasa paints a Sword"
"I MADE YOUR FAVORITE - PAAAN-CAAAAKES!"
"Captain Murasa is: Tyler Durden"
" 'I wish I played Newearth' - Ichirin is: Gauntlet"

I'll handle it all later - I need to down another cup of Coffee and to get my Vitamin C fix - I'm getting kind of sick, I think, but after five days snowed in, I can't complain and it's nice to actually get out beyond going to the post-office or Library.
