I don't need much, but this I need
When I got home from my frozen stagger through the snow-shuttered streets of Somerville (bank, groceries), I found a package from
handful_ofdust in the mailbox. I was carrying three plastic bags and could no longer feel my hands; fortunately it was a compact flat package and I could stick it under one arm along with the payment from Goblin Fruit and a wedding card from friends of the family. I had to thaw out my fingers before I could unlace my boots. The apple cider sorbet I had brought home for
derspatchel had not melted at all. We ate some fudge. I opened my package.
handful_ofdust sent me Peter Cushing: A Life in Film (2013) by David Miller. It is full of photographs and anecdotes and THAT'S A PICTURE OF PETER CUSHING AS ANDREW CROCKER-HARRIS FROM THE BBC'S 1955 ADAPTATION OF THE BROWNING VERSION HOLY BLAP GEMMA THIS BOOK HAS JUST EARNED ITS PASSAGE THANK YOU.

(Thank you. My father actually runs the server, so it's mostly a matter of him being able to dig himself out of the snow on Cape Cod and make it back to Lexington in order to poke at the thing. He thinks it blew something in the brief blackout my mother experienced with the storm.)
