Next On The News: Pyramid Head Sightings In Sussex.

ASASFKFSDGLKKGDSK THINGS! THINGS IN THE POST! Seriously, you guys, you have no idea how much it makes my day when I open the postbox to find something handwritten with my name on it. No idea.

[livejournal.com profile] draegonhawke has sent me a frankly amazing postcard with a drawing of Fran (FFXII, not Black Books) totally pwning Pyramid Head. NO, SERIOUSLY. THAT IS HOW AWESOME SHE IS. ('She' was written with [livejournal.com profile] draegonhawke in mind but could, of course, be applied with equal relevance to Fran.) The text is equally brilliant and opens with the wonderful (if slightly alarming) words, 'Because Pyramid Head attacks are such a concern among first-time students, modern universities employ squads of trained Viera to hunt them down'. I really hope that the postman read it and was horribly confused.

Also, [livejournal.com profile] cane_tie has sent me a letter! It is on BRIGHT YELLOW PAPER and hilariously disjointed and has a random doodle of a ukulele and 'VOTE SAXON' and hand-written emoticons and panics about awkward silences on paper and generally made me grin a ridiculous amount. Also, handwritten fanfic! About Jack and the Doctor and the Master! And it references Jack's travels with Balthier and Fran! (Their trio has become so very ingrained in my mind that I'm always a little surprised when I watch Doctor Who and Balthier and Fran aren't there.)

ALSO, IT ENDS WITH A STICK-FIGURE PYRAMID HEAD.

WHY HAVE I GOT MULTIPLE PYRAMID HEADS THROUGH THE POST TODAY? DO YOU HATE ME? IS THAT IT?

(I suppose it is slightly less horrifying if one is a stick-figure and the other has been soundly defeated by an awesome Viera. BUT STILL.)

(EDIT: ALSO ALSO ALSO [livejournal.com profile] wanttobeatree HAS A FIC-IN-PROGRESS ABOUT SAM TYLER AND SHERLOCK HOLMES WRITING ZOMBIES AND IT IS AMAZING.)

(EDIT II: ...AND BY 'WRITING' I MEAN 'FIGHTING'.

ERM.)

Is it actually possible to get pretty letter-writing paper where you are? Apparently Iowa City is of the opinion that letter stationary is for the weak.

Alas, not really. I picked up a pad of very yellow paper in one of the loca stationary shops aaaaages back.

Why do people not make stationary any more? That's horrible.

That... that is far away. (And I'd probably wind up stalking the natives and fangirling over their accents.)
