PBR, Spindrift...

[telophase]

OK, I just spent my lunch hour at the post office getting all the Spindrift and PBR books out and I have NO IDEA why none of you on the f-list who ordered it hadn't been bitching at me to get them out. My index finger has no feeling because I spent most of that time punching the screen on the APC machine sending out the domestic packages, because the Post Office, in its infinite wisdom, scheduled only one employee, who was either having a horrible allergy attack or was a cokehead, because he kept sniffing and occasionally having to leave the area to blow his nose, or so he said. And thus there was a line of ten to fifteen people the entire time. I took pity on them and only mailed the international packages at the counter, and sent the domestic ones from the machine.

And in other news, Gin Ichimaru did not show up in my dreams last night*, but Renji did. We were part of a large group of people inexplicably dressed in Victorian clothing going to a movie in a theatre that had metal folding chairs. I had a zanpakuto, but I'd forgotten its name and spent most of the dream trying to remember it. It shot flames out, but I know that was borrowed from the episode of Bleach I'd seen earlier in the day, from the Bount arc, with the doll that shoots flames. If you've seen it, you'll know.


* Honestly, what's with that? I almost never dream of anime characters. Not that I'm complaining, because it's a nice change from the usual round of anxiety dreams or weird, formless, inchoate stuff.

I think the image of Renji in Victorian clothing has killed my brain.

I don't remember any details, unfortunately. :D He was somewhere in the group, not right next to me. I mostly remember wearing many, many layers of petticoat & skirt and attempting to arrange them when I was sitting on the folding chair. The clothing didn't seem to be much of a problem when wielding the zanpakuto, strangely enough.

I my brain got as far as slicked back hair and an unhappy Renji fiddling with his collar and died. I wonder how the Victorians would react tyo his tattoos and hair...and attitude...and how many seconds he'd make it before killing people.

And it's anime/manga...clothing NEVER gets in the way of running/fighting, unless it's needed for comedic effect, like tripping saving you from getting your head lopped off or some such.

Hee, yeah, he'd not be a happy puppy in a collar. (And if I weren't at work, I might even attmept to sketch the image in my head now. XD)

I believe it is the kind of crack that must be aided by visuals. By someone capable of drawing more than stick figures(translates as: not me, sadly)

... because I'd quite thoroughly forgotten that I'd ordered something? :)

:D

Well, the APC claimed that your zip code would be getting it in two days, so hopefully by Wednesday you'll have it. XD

Spiffy!

Yay!! I can't wait! (Mich: 48098)

[telophase.livejournal.com]

I got at least one package going to 48098, so it's probably yours. XD Let me know if it's not there by, say, Friday.

Because we had too much sympathy for your suffering through the Bounto arc to nag you about mailing? Or didn't know Spindrift was printed yet!

Congratulations on the Victorian Bleach dream, even if Ichimaru didn't show up. Perhaps next you'll have a Melody of Oblivion dream, which could be both anime and wierd, formless, inchoate stuff.

I'm surviving the arc by thinking of it as animated fanfic. And the little funny bits after the credits help. XD

Do you have Spindrift copies left? I keep forgetting to order it.

[telophase.livejournal.com]

I have many Spindrift copies left. :) Sales were slow at A-Kon this year. If you've got Paypal, you can order at http://www.projectbluerose.com.
