You Only Wish It Was Yours
I have the coolest stuff.
And when I'm lacking stuff that is incredibly cool, people send it to me.
This week I received two wonderful presents. From my little brother in Germany, I got this:
Yeah. I know what you're thinking. Is that a leprechaun in a jar? And it is...but it's totally cool, because as you can see, he has the obligatory stick and leaf that all jar-captured creatures seem to need to live. He now sits atop my computer tower for luck...or until he gives me all his gold.
And my wonderful friend EJ Knapp sent me the most beautiful bat charm.
How gorgeous is that?? And he has that cute lil smooshed up face...the bat, not EJ. Not to say EJ isn't cute, but he's not a bat. One of my favorite bat experiences was my excessive visiting of Henry Doorly Zoo. They have these beautiful little vampire bats in a tiny cave. When it's feeding time, the staff places little bowls of blood on the floor and the bats fly down, then wobble over to the bowls on their knobby lil wings. *happy sigh* Amazing creatures. I have serious bat-love. Good choice, EJ!
Now...how jealous are you? I have cool stuff and know great people!
(Incidentally, I also love giving cool stuff to great people...so just wait for the contests to begin when we get a wee bit closer to my pub. date)

Poor little leprechaun! Are there air holes? Does he get to relieve himself in privacy? Is there room for him to sleep without being curled up?
I'll have you know (and any other members of S.P.E.W. that may be reading) that there is no lid on the jar, so the leprechaun gets plenty of air through the cloth on top. He tends to relieve himself behind the afforementioned stick and leaf. And who says leprechauns sleep? ;)
They don't sleep? Never knew. Now THAT'S the perfect minion.
He's quickly becoming my favorite minion. (Shh! Don't tell Ewoh!)
Actually, they're all my favorites. It's just that I don't allow most of them to perch on my computer tower as I write.
