A couple of days ago, a bubble-wrapped package showed up at my door. Let me tell you, I love getting mail. There's something so much more personal about a handwritten letter than an email, and I need not remind you of my stationary obsession. So a personal package? YES.
I tore into it-- okay, I used scissors-- to find that I am the customer and the recipient. Yet it was ordered on the day I was driving back from New York, and has not appeared on my credit cards.
I don't quite understand. It's called, "We Feel Fine." Intrigued? So was I! I haven't really looked in it, in case I should be sending it back, but it's called "an almanac of human emotion." Even more intrigued? Me too! But, I'm also a little disturbed.
Is this supposed to be some sort of message? Like, "Hey, Robot, here's a book of human emotions, LEARN SOME." Or, "Here's something to store in that icebox (where your heart used to be)."
Come on, people. Gift message that shite!
I wrote the company to make sure that no one has stolen my identity and opened up a credit card in my name and is going on crazy shopping sprees and ruining my credit. And, ya know, sent me this book as a thank you. And as a jumping point for when I'm speechless after finding out that I'm somehow $15,000 in credit card debt, and yet still miniature pig- and e-reader-less. (Yes, that's right, if I was that far into debt, I would totally have my teacup pig and my B&N nook right now. My needs are simple.)
Does anyone have any information about this mystery book? Please let me know. Though I do enjoy playing Nancy Drew (still missing 26 books of that 1940s collection, if my next mystery sender needs ideas). I will pull out my titian-haired wig and pull on my green cotton, knee-length, wide-shoulder, empire-waist dress. With nothing but my flashlight and my wits to protect me, I will solve the Mystery of the Amazon Book!
Look out, mystery sender, Johanna Rae is on your trail!
