Tim got a package today. It was kind of flat and weird. We had no idea what it was, but it ended up being a book.
He Died With a Felafel In His Hand. Tim's really into John Birmingham.
When he asked me about the book a few days ago, I said it was like my holy grail. I often look for it on Powells, and when I go to used bookstores. I can never find it.
Tim said, I just ordered it on Amazon.
Okay, so maybe it wasn't my holiest of holy grails. I didn't want it enough to pay for shipping. With Powells, you get free shipping if you order at least $50 worth of books. With Amazon you get free shipping with $25, but I don't think that includes private sellers.
So anyway. Now, thanks to Tim, we finally own the John Birmingham classic.
Then in the mail, we also got something from Australia; a Christmas card from a friend.
It must be Australia-related mail day, because Jack got his favorite magazine and it had an article about wombats.
