There really was cake.

[adric]

My mom sent me a card. It plays country music when you try to open it. With my crafty hacker skills I was able to extract the check without fully setting off the trap. It was a sweet gesture...

faire_raven mailed me a short animated clip about an insane squirrel martial artist. I think. And sotto_voce did in fact conspire with [MySpace user] to provide chocolate cake. Thanks!

In the post I also received the RegEx Pocket Guide I bought from Amazon. A co-worker had let me browse his copy and I found it tremendously informative and wanted one for my kit. This month's manga is Death Note I and even the cover is rather stylized... I may try and read a few pages of that today.

Shopping was overall successful and I got some Targe't hummus as well as a tin of freshly wrapped tortollini (they were all out of the cute little quiche lorraine pies) and some barrettes. All this and more for an outlay of <$3 is pretty good :) However, the card did not smell of bananas as advertised.
