Getting desperate. Filed a complaint with Australia Post.
I will probably get the brush off, but at least I feel like I tried.
Day 13 of mail-watching
No mail on weekends.
Today and tomorrow are just too depressing to think about. I have a 0% chance of getting Vice Quadrant on these days.
My Dark Side got out, this morning. Playing through scenarios on the premise of What If Someone Else Got It?
What if someone else got it and threw it in the rubbish?
What if someone else got it and decided to keep it?
What if someone else got it and erased the GD signatures because they
Day 12 of mail-watching
…still no sign of Vice Quadrant…
Spoilers abound in many forms. Gifs. Art. Fic. Speculation. Confirmation and denial from the creators.
I can’t block the tags, so I have to retreat from Tumblr. Good thing I have a novel to write.
depression has me in its grasp. I am increasingly listless, because I know that I have another two days to wait until the mail returns.
The mail courier is a stealthy sort with no regular schedule besides “sometime

Yeah, I forgot I left this running for a bitty while. Turns out the hours, minutes and seconds re-set when they get to zero.
I still haven’t got my copy in the mail and I’m debating whether or not to shut this down now. It kinda breaks my heart because it’s beautiful but I don’t really need it

Day 11 of mail-watching
My health is fading.
The endless stream of spoilers across my dash makes Tumblr a hostile environment for me. I can barely surf the web any more.
Hope fades, day by passing day.
The postie has advanced a ninja level. They managed to drop off one solitary envelope [bank statement] while my back was turned.
I must be more vigilant.
…yet my energy wanes without the precious sustenance of new Steam Powered Giraffe melodies…
I must gather my strength so

At least I’m getting exercise. My regime? Running like a mad thing from the computer desk at the back of my house to the front gate to go get the mail as soon as humanly possible. All catalysed by the very instant I detect the postie’s approach.
I’ve now set an alarm so I should be out there to greet them. My plan is to chirp a sunny, “Any parcels for me today?” as if it isn’t any

Day 9 of mail-watching
VQ drops today.
I will still be spoiler-protecting my thoughts and ravings when I liveblog listening to the album. Just in case.
the livestream happening today is my lifeline

I hope you eat lots of squid
And make lots of whale kids”
Day 8 of mail-watching
I have checked the mail THREE FUCKING TIMES today. All before the postie is due to show up.
Fuck my life. I am pathetic weeabot trash.
Today or tomorrow. I should have it by this afternoon, or just after it firkin launches, le sigh.
I want it now, damnit.

Lessee…lets just…grab the accordion here…
You’re such a whale
You’re a big big whale…No, that’s no good…”
Day 7 of mail-watching
There is a very, extremely slim chance that some charitable soul has dropped off my copy of Vice Quadrant into my mailbox.
Extremely slim.
Astronomically remote.
And yet, I am actively preventing myself from going out to check and see.
…hargleblargle…

Gnaw on the bone. Consume your own.”
Day 6 of mail-watching
I just went out to check the mailbox on a Saturday. Based entirely on the very slim hope that, on Friday afternoon, the postman doubled back with my copy of Vice Quadrant.
Weeabot trash confirmed.
This is going to be a rough 48 hours, folks.
