I'll always give you a little "nudge" if there's something important you need to see......like this.

You're like my personal HDC alarm clock :D

Just received the Package v2.0 from a certain Margaret Whitteck. :D

It is a goodie box! Plenty of DVDs, VHSes, toy figures, 3 issues of Fangoria and even a card for ale! No books though. Marge must ve thought that I must be buried under the TON that Rayne sent me. :p

I will be busy for the next few days, as it's monthly closing time at my office.

The package will be on it's way to Ferret in the first week of July. But Ferret, you must promise that you will pass it on.

Be prepared for a few surprises! :cool:

You know, it never even occurred to me to put a book (or two) in there! :p

Very excited to receive it! And fear not, the package shall not die a death in my hands! I was thinking perhaps (starting with V, since we cannot retrace time) we need some sort of tracer. Perhaps a sheet of paper with signatures on it? Something to stick with the package to track the progress. A (small) world map with its ports of call so far marked?

Well it's been in Michigan,Indiana,Delaware,and I'm not sure where V lives.

V lives in India.

Just finalised the Package's contents and sealed it up for shipping to England, and I have kept very little for myself and passed on the majority to young Ferret.

Things I have kept - The Wolf Man (original Universal Classic Monster Collection DVD), an issue of Fangoria, and the two toys. Rest are sent on ahead.

This is what Ferret shall stumble into, once he opens the package -

(don't highlight the following if you don't want to know)

A Walking Dead wall poster,
Three VHSes - Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead & Day of the Dead,
Four Cartoon DVDs,
Two 2-in-1 Horror DVDs (includes Tobe Hooper's Eaten Alive and 3 other obscure horror films from the 70s-80s),
Four Movie DVDs - Room 6, Pieces, Night Feeders, a Ninja film.
Veer Zaara - Hindi movie DVD, (brand new, for my special Indian flavor)
One Game DVD - Dark Star One,
Star Wars II: Attack of the Clones movie CD set,
One Book - Tales of Mystery and Suspense (Hardcover),
Four Comics - all horror related,
Two issues of Fangoria from the late 80s,
One Magazine - Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home official magazine,
One collectible Country Ale beer card.

I wanted to add another Hindi movie DVD and also a spare copy of 28 Days Later but the box is packed to the brim with the contents listed above. It's quite difficult to pack them all in securely. I hope the guys at the post office have better luck than me.

The Package will be out and on it's way to England on Monday. Be ready to receive it, Ferret. I hope you find many cool stuffs for yourself! :cool:

I'm shivering with antici

:p Thanks V, really can't wait! Haven't highlighted the paragraph - determined to be surprised!

And Package 2.0 moves ahead!

Returned from the post office yesterday, and it is sent via Air Mail to a certain Mr. Gabriel Ferret in Great Britain (they didn't have either England or UK in their computer!). Via bus to the state capital yesterday evening, then via plane to New Delhi today, and off to England tomorrow morning.

Funny coincidence - the bar code computer system used to ship overseas parcels has been implemented here only 2-3 days back! Before that there was only ordinary package post, with no guarantee of delivery to the other person. Guess it was because this place is deep inside Naxal-infested territory - they didn't trust any person sending a parcel out of here!

Finally I can send some other long-pending parcels! Some other people expecting a parcel from me for quite some time will be getting it within a week or two.
