My ebay account is kind of crossed up and this got delivered to old Melchior - my once roommate in Euclid. He was very confused and kind of upset. "Hey man, what is this package from Uzbekistan at my house? I can't have this! I can't have this in my life!" That's kind of Melchior's way, he's... well he wants to be square. Isn't though. Anyhow, yes this package was there and I went to get it - it is sewn shut and sealed with wax.
I got there - climbing up the mile long hill and feeling - well, weak. I used to do that hill every day, twice sometimes. I was winded but not sweaty. No wonder I used to be thinner. Shit. I need more 30 degree grades in my life. I guess.
Anyhow, he was very curious about what was up with my package so I opened it up on his driveway to reveal what I kept referring to as my 'coats'.
"Dude, you got a wizard cloak and are calling it a coat."
Which is true.
An entire couch was murdered for this.
I wear this even as I type this missive into the aether.
Touch me not, for I am magi.
It's hard to tell with the colors - but I got two of these. $25 apiece. Seriously. Uzbekistan.
It's pretty nice but doesn't yet smell awesome. I wonder how I'm gonna clean these things.
And whether I am going to wear them one to the office Christmas party.
I'm very, very pleased, even though I faced some kind of transit fuckmess getting home and had to stand around in the cold for sort of a longass time.

I'd also say that if you don't wear it to the work party you are doing everyone a disservice.

But this isn't some suspicion of foreigners thing here, I bought a nice tweed sportcoat at a local second hand clothing store and immediately dry cleaned that, too. But then, that was just purely reasonable precaution against the scourge that is bed bugs.
