It goes without saying. When was this exactly?

Cel is FOUND! I feel like an idiot, it was stuck to the side of the box I was sending on to Sensei. I missed the post last weekend, so I was mailing it today instead. I re-opened the package because I wanted to add some Power Puff Girl episode files I burned over the weekend, and I found it!

In my defense, I have been working 7 days a week editing Bar mitzvahs and weddings with almost no breaks for months and I am pretty fried. At this point. all brides look alike and even the bridesmaids gowns aren't mentally registering anymore...

I hope to mail your package out too, Zag. I added a few things from the SMJ stuff I got to your stack.

As for the cels that came here that were sent by mistake, all 4 items are being mailed today too. Some look kinda pricy and I don't want responsibility for them. (I know 3 of the 4 owners and they are all on Beta and/or RS). My one bengal cat wanted to play with them first, but I packed them before he could dig a claw in them...

Oh yeah, and yes, Nick said he'd cover the shipping.

Irmgaard is getting a cool Kenshin! I think that is the first Kenshin cel I have ever seen in person.

That's great news to hear! Congrats on finding the cel! A load is off your shoulders and the cel is safe and sound!

This calls for the dancing banana celebration!

Did you do the little ritual I told you about, invoking Chortik (Little Devil), the one who runs and finds lost things in the Neitherworld where they tend to lodge when you infuse the space where they are with negative positrons?

If so, you have to remember to say THANK YOU LITTLE DEVIL!!!! out loud, and as loudly as you can without worrying your neighbors or the people upstairs.

I actually had occasion to use this at the start of my contemporary legend class at GMU, when the USB data stick with my PowerPoint on it dematerialized, after I'd patted the shirt pocket where I'd tucked it several times on the way to be sure I had it. I actually didn't get the full invocation out, before I touched my left pants pocket (which I'd checked 30 seconds before), and there it was, attached to a keychain with a huge rubbery Kero-chan and Book of Clow keychain pendant attached.

Now a largish class of graduate students and upperclass undergrads (and an uncertain number of people passing in the hall outside) now know how to link up with Chortik.

Chortik does good work, just does things in an ostentatiously dramatic way that most people find a little disconcerting. So don't feel stupid, Vapalla. It's all part of his modus operandi. Anyhow, I'm very happy that Kitty-Katsura is back home and enjoying a bowl of hot catnip milk in your mailroom!

Yup! Out of desperation, I did, and IT WORKED! and yes, I thanked him and startled a cat or two. I swore I looked in that box before putting the cels in there. If I hadn't needed to add the discs, I would never have known she was there.

I now have her posted on the RS site so you can now see her in her full glory!

Is this what you call a "word problem".

I'd call it an epistemological problem. But, hey, if it works, it works.
