I got a hefty box from Amazon in my door today, yayayes. It contained seven Aubrey-Maturin books, starting with The Ionian Mission because that's what I'm up to reading right now. I'll buy the earlier ones later. And the later ones later. :D? Yay for having books! Especially books with helpful diagrams; goddamn you and your jargon, O'Brian. Oh, and

Wheee!!! You found me on dw!

I am such a slacker friend. I finally figured out, like, this minute that I missed your birthday. Woe. /o\ Was it good?

I did find you! You were not hiding very well. :P

It was a good birthday! I was up at the cottage getting drunk with my family. Whee!

Sooooooo gay. Stephen, too, even if he doesn't want to admit it, and Jack couldn't buy a clue, the doofus.

Oh, and sons of bitches, they sent me a copy of Far Side of the World that is a different edition and does not MATCH. Grr.

This happened to me for H M S Surprise. The others I have are these painted ones with pictures of ships, but this one had a sailor guy lying with his head thrown back and his clothes in disarray, looking all voluptuous. My boy took one look at it and asked "Is that sailor porn?".

See, I've had the opposite. The more readily available ones are the new editions with the photos, but the odd one out is the painted one. Nice cover, and all, but not matching! >:(

Ah, well.

(Hee! Sailor porn.)
