This arrived yesterday from a mail-order DVD retailer in South Australia, with no message save for a ‘Happy Birthday’ appended to my name on the address label:
Apart from a few relatives who’d be very, very unlikely to anonymously send me Harmony Korine movies, I don’t really know anyone in South Australia.
Anyway – whoever you are (if you’re reading), thank you so much! As a present, no other widely-available DVD could please me more.
Stoked.
How very curious! Let us know if the mystery reveals itself.
Also, I wish I had mystery benevolence goodness. Wah.
You mean you don’t? You amaze me.
It’s pretty sweet, I can tell yer..
You need a wishlist, really. Like, a publically accessible one.
One can’t necessarily rely on secret admirers to be too creative.
some people are just awesome, aren’t they?
I mean, that’s why they get random presents sometimes.
that they are, though … truly random presents ar sometimes confusing.
also, meaow.
Shucks, guys.
> truly random presents ar sometimes confusing.
Ambiguity can drive you crazy.. but it can also be a ton of fun. (Otherwise known as ‘the Neurocam principle’.)
This wasn’t really random though; it was my birthday last week.
It’s proving to be a very extended slow-release sort of affair.
It’s good!
I think the lesson is: schedule your birthday party a few weeks after the actual day.
ps you’re welcome 🙂
