So at long last I got my Secret Santa package! It's from a very hardworking Australian student with lovely penmanship. I'm not sure if it would be rude to reveal her username, but I don't know it anyway, so there.

On to what you really care about, sweet aussie swag.

A cute envelope whose instructions I clearly followed:
 

An interesting package


with interesting components:
   Goat (Photographs poorly):
    
   Skeleton (Inexplicably awesome):
    
   Dune (Hellz to the yeah!):
    
   Hellstrom's Hive (Herbert = Good):
    

H.P. Lovecraft to keep me up at night:


And a 2-CD mix tape ensemble that looks like it will rock:
 

There was also a lovely note which made me smile and/or laugh with great frequency. Hinted in the missive was a Project™ that would take time to concoct and would be sent later. I'm a-flutter in anticipation. :)

Thanks!!

maybe you didn't realise it, but when an aussie girls mails you a goat it's a declaration of carnal intent.

Hmm … combined with the skeleton that's titillating and frightening at the same time …



Of course, I have a hard time believing just about anything you say like that. ;)

I'm leaning towards luck, or maybe a sacrifice joke, considering the other stuff.

Actually that was sort of funny.



Maybe it's your cuteness talking.

Still haven't received my secret santa package. I am most upset. Send me stuff please, mystery person!

Don't worry, your person could be a busy international like mine. It's probably just taking awhile. :)

Rholliday... I'm glad you liked the swag o' stuff! Don't get too excited about Part II, it's nothing grand.



As for the goat, I'll leave that open to interpretation... :)

This is a stupid question, but when was this secret santa organised?

Is it just bloggers secret santa-ing each other?

bananaphone organised it.. I think another one is going to begin soon, but I'm not sure.
rholliday
rholliday on Jul 08 '06 at 9:18pm
Mel! Wicked cool stuff, much appreciation. I'm afraid to interpret the goat so I'll just set it by my monitor and converse with it when I'm lonely. :)



Yeah, let bananaphone know you'd like to be involved in the next round. Now that everything's beginning to wrap up he'll probably start working on round 2.

Hey mo! Isn't it just?

Yep! What's on the mix tape?
rholliday
rholliday on Jul 08 '06 at 10:00pm
35 songs by a lot of different artists, at least half of which I haven't heard of. I haven't had a chance to listen to them yet, but I did just note that CD 2 leads of with "Mars," which is freaking awesome.



You can almost read the (handwritten!) titles in those pictures up there, I think.

badoo on Jul 08 '06 at 10:09pm
mmm.. Mars is so gooood! I went to see The Planets performed at the MSO last year, it was unbelievably fantabulous.



I hope the mix sounds OK, when you play it in iTunes there are irritating pauses between the tracks, which spoils the flow.. :/
mad cat
mad cat on Jul 08 '06 at 10:11pm
Yeah, I can't read that!



But...

awwwww! I'm in your quotes!

Love you!



I worked doubles two days in a row! I'm tired! I'm going to bed and hopefully dreaming of you like Whisper in Water!

In high school we actually got to march Mars, Venus, and Jupiter, albeit rearranged for our instrumentation and cut somewhat. It was excessively awesome.

The planets? Mars jupiter venus? Whaaa?!

The goat looks like a beagle on my monitor. :(



I love goats.

It's a classical suite by Gustav Holst. Really good stuff.



Shouldn't you be sleeping, sugar pie? You need your strength. :(
