Apparently this video has gone viral since I first saw it via Twitter yesterday morning. In case you’ve missed it, here it is. Wonderful stuff. Filmed at Type Books in Toronto.

gifts!
05 Thursday Jan 2012
This year Peter and I didn’t “do” gifts, preferring to go out for a couple of nice meals during Christmas week instead, and then go to Málaga earlier this week to celebrate my upcoming 55th birthday. But I also got some lovely surprise prezzies from friends… a third Binky book to add to my collection, two DVDs from my Amazon wishlist and a box of Christmas goodies and cat toys (the cosmic catnip banana is a hit!) from Sweden.
Tonight is the Cabalgata, a parade featuring the Three Kings and hoards of shrieking children, which I will try to avoid. But I still want to see the “mapping” Christmas light show on in the Plaza San Francisco (last night tonight). If I manage to get there I’ll take a video of it. But first some grocery shopping as it’s a bank holiday tomorrow and have been away all week. Hope I don’t get swept up in the crowds!
What did you get for Christmas?

Another surprise package!
Extra surprising as it was apparently “missent to India” from the UK before finally arriving in Sevilla – how the UK postal service screwed that one up is a mystery. Anyhow, I picked the package up yesterday about three weeks after it was sent, tore it open straight away and was delighted to find these charming and funny Binky the Space Cat books by Ashley Spires. So fun!
Thank you Steve & Sara (and Murphy & Foley)!

first amazon order

Wow, I had no idea that I’d started ordering from Amazon so long ago. Though I remember why. Back in the day it was impossible to see any films here in original version, or even rent the orginal versions on video. I also didn’t realise it was possible to go back and trace ALL my Amazon orders until I saw that Beth had done this and found the first thing she’d ever ordered. Unlike Beth, Amazon has never sent me any gifts for being a good customer – after almost ten years you’d think they’d at least send along a little something from my Wish List (like maybe season 8 of 24 😉 ).
Anyhow, my first order was this video of Wilde, which I still have, though I think I also have a DVD version now. This was before I learned that if I ordered three items I got charged the same delivery fee as for one. These days delivery to Spain is free! Progress, eh?
What was your first Amazon order?
