okay, that was fun.

so, every once in a while, i go out to the supermarket, buy a crapload of tuna in foil packets, slim-jim snacks, goldfish crackers, cupasoup, fruit leather, and other portable nonperishable snackies. and i go thru my books or books i've picked up cheap, and then i go to books for soldiers and send off care packages to folks serving overseas. sometimes, i'll also special order stuff from amazon or something and have it shipped over there. (like for the guy in afghanistan who wanted battlestar galactica on dvd)

previously, my favorite care package was for a chick who wanted a copy of "johnny the homicidal maniac" (a comic by the guy who did invader zim).

but today, i found a request from someone in iraq who likes scifi, and mentioned that he liked the rocky horror picture show. so i sent a care package full of snacks and books and such, but also included cards, rice, toilet paper, and newspaper. and i ordered a dvd of RHPS from amazon with a gift message saying "stay safe so you can come home and do the time warp again".

that was fun.
