it's been a fambly kind of day.

the first thing that happened this morning aside from reading an article about the swedish and american welfare states was that i saw kitten_head--for almost two decades my favourite person, until i met the wax_jismlet--had come online. i haven't spoken to her in real time, let alone in person, since last summer or spring, i think. we haven't seen each other since our cousin panda's wedding almost a year and a half ago.

and now? cutest letter EVER from my wee sister cuddlepint and her absolutely adorable best friend rashika.

AND a packet of (wholly unread) science fiction poetry and science fiction from daddy: catherine asaro! greg bear (bwwahah!)! and, most amusing of all, the flying sorcerers by david gerrold and larry niven. tagline: he was the mightiest witch doctor of all--and he didn't care how many insanely dangerous spells he'd have to cast to prove it!
