1. i_am_zan, your utterly beautiful New Year's card arrived. Thank you so so much. I shall keep it forever, as I do kickinpants' happy Christmas rabbit from oh a decade ago or so.

2. tammylee, got your card from Thailand-- after you got back, as is ever the case. Thanks for the reminder that the sun shines somewhere.

3. I received 248 spam messages yesterday, all of them in Russian. This is why I'm never changing my provider. Their spam capture service got them all.

4. February is The Month of Letters. I like the idea but it's so not going to happen here. I handwrite almost slower than I type, which is very slow indeed, and tears of computer use (ETA: a typo, but let it stand for truth's sake) has killed the internal editor that can compose fluently as I go along. Longhand notes from me now require drafts to make sure I've said what I meant to in the space provided.

You know I could have sworn that I already replied here, but it seems I may have done it in my head and not in actual fact. The gist of it was ...

I am glad it finally arrived, having nearly despaired of the cards reaching anyone in time at all. (and I posted a good 5 days before the Lunar New Year and that it's a good thing that the celebrations last 15 days.

I am even more happy that you love the card too!

And ooh a Month of Letters. Now I don't mind the letter writing bit, I love writing them but there are several downsides ... My longhand isn't what I might deem neat or beautiful.This is made even more apparent by crossings out of mistakes, miswords and misspellings. My biggest downfall is that I almost always never make it to the post office.

But I do write them. just never post. Nevertheless a lovely idea. ^_^
