So now I bring you a Friday the 13th post dedicated to all those people out there following me in my ridiculous exploits.

Nicely done folks.

More pictures after the Jump

Lego men?! That is made of win right there.

Very nice representation of two-face. Well done that man.

A special thanks to my sister (pictured as the left police woman) for submitting the photos.

And… quite possibly the best costume ever…

This is frank. He was a paper boy.
DO YOU GET IT?!

And just so you folks don’t feel like I’m taking advantage:
Here’s me again.

It’s not a Halloween costume though, that’s what I wore all the time in University. Kimberlee calls it my uniform. And it sort of is.

Happy Friday the 13th. Have a good one.

So: signing on tomorrow, collecting some meagre cash. Then on thursday I’ll be collecting some real money, and buying a bike lock. Don’t have one at the minute, and they frown on me bringing my bike into shops to keep an eye on it. Either way, today’s picture.

It’s pretty grim right about now, I’m down to my labtec webcam, which I bought 3 years ago. The little camera I was using has no battery power, and I can’t afford batteries at this moment in time. So today’s picture quality is low. But nevertheless, I’m here, posting a picture. Logging in. Getting it done.

I received a package in the mail today.

After opening the big white package, smothered in messages that it was from the US postal service, I found a little brown box, with a little brown bow on it. My heart began to flutter because I knew it was the present from my beloved. She had told me on the day that she had sent it, and I’d been waiting eagerly every day for my wonderful little surprise to come through the door.

However today, I was out back working on the Mario Box project, and mema brought it out back to me. I immediately downed tools, rushed inside and opened up the package. I took a moment to savour the little brown box inside. It’s got this sort of suede stuff on it. It’s a nice box…

Enough about the box already Dave. What was INSIDE the box I hear you growl through impatient teeth. Well, why tell you, when I can show you?

….After the jump.

So here you are, dying to know what the hell is in the little brown box. And I realize I’m talking about the box again… Ok, ok. Here it is.

Hehehe. My beloved bought me a hip flask. A wonderful, fantastic leather covered hip flask. It has the little hinge on top to keep the cap from getting lost: a nice touch.

But I was looking at the front… it had a shiny thing on it. And a wee hinge. My mind jumped at a few possibilities: a picture of my beloved? A window to my booze underneath a protective cover?

But no! Much to my giddy delight, it was a small, built in cigarette case!

With room for 6 cigarettes, possibly spares, maybe special cigarettes, maybe some harder cigarettes as a change from the pack of Marlboro lights in your front pocket… Whichever.

The point is, I received a treasured birthday object, from a treasured woman. I absolutely love her unconditionally. Thank you for the wonderful birthday gift: It’s perfect.

It only took six days – to send a love token across the globe.
