the postman brought a package from the beautiful Bay Area. alongside a few stray tuxie hairs, there was a note from the delightful LT and stuffs.
of course, everything that comes into the house automatically belongs to the Princess:
I swear, it wasn’t two seconds after I sat the package on the table, Hank was on it.
[...] eventually, Hank was distracted and I was able to open the box and found
a bright little elephant, from Subhangi via LT. isn’t she the cutest? and Lady Di eyes to boot.
an anthology of feminist sci-fi, cleverly titled Space of Her Own
both teh SO and myself are fans of H. Beam Piper – imagine the thrill to get a couple of his books, a first edition of Lord Kalvan of Otherwhen, from where teh SO’s internet name comes, and Empire, a posthumous collection of stories from Piper‘s great Terro-Human Future History.





Yay! I’m glad everything got there in one piece. I’ve had heffalump and the books for months and when you announced your NaBlo topic and I realized it’s almost Subhi wedding time, I finally got off my lazy ass and mailed.
(it did pain me to give up the books, but I read them again before sending and felt they deserved a good home)
The tuxie hairs are unavoidable.
yep, everything got in perfectly. the post-it note “OPEN ME” on the newspapers holding the elofont was cute.
we really appreciate the books and your thoughtfulness. we promise to treat them well. I’ll have to find some books around here that may be worthy of your collection
I didn’t want her to get thrown away but that was the best way to pad it.
glad P. Hank enjoyed the box (so did HRT).
Yay! Peep gifts are the bestest!
Tell me you have the H Beam Piper Fuzzy ones too…
We have or had the Fuzzy books. Great read.
I *love* the kitteh on a box!
Yay! Love the Princess and the elephone with Princess Di eyes! :)
H. Beam Piper is great fun — I really enjoyed Space Viking! hahaha
Hank on the box is great – the elephant is gorgeous.
