Everything Comes In 2's!

So here is a weird coincidence.  On Thursday 2 postcards came in the mail :

This one was a vintage card of New York sent by a postcrosser who lives in New Jersey. I love this card. The next card was :

This was a photo that a postcrosser took when they were on vacation. So Thursdays mail theme was New York. Which brings me to Fridays mail :

This card is from the Pride and Prejudice Zombie Collection and sent from Finland. I guess Fridays theme could be called violence and mayhem when I looked at the second card received on this day:

I love samurai movies and I train in Kali (weapons self defense) so I love this card. The message on the back basically said be nice to my favorite gal or my head will be chopped off.   Errr. Thanks for the card?
I wonder what theme will be next week?

Sidenote:  I can't believe I'm watching Ghost Rider on television right now. Normally I think Nicolas Cage is the king of all cheese (Season of the Witch, Drive Angry, National Treasure, etc etc) but I figured I should watch it because I seen a preview for the new movie Spirit of Vengeance and I kinda of want to see it. The movie is okay but Eva Mendes character seems a little flaky.

THIS IS NOT RIGHT!

Sorry for yelling in the title but I feel I must. Please allow me to explain and you will understand completely. I was browsing the card section at a certain store *  in the town where I live. 

I always do this because you never know what hidden gems you may find that can be used for postcrossing. I stumbled upon this :

Cool right? I thought so until :

I was stunned!!!!! This is a straight injustice! Let the comments fly everyone. I wish to hear your views.

* The store owners took some photoshop liberties with the photo because that store does not look like that in real life. Trust me on that one. In reality the building is located in a crumbling downtown that has barely any stores people would shop in. It is not a picturesque shopping experience.

Someone guessed my age!

read the newspaper(s)

I must always include a pic so here goes:

This was the second best birthday card received! (The best one was the worlds biggest one sent by my fav gal but unfortunately it is a bristol board card and too big to scan on here!) I must thank my brother for this card. It plays the star wars theme and apparently it is interactive online if you go to their website.

And this was an excellent gift to go with the card.  I didn't know they made this  book in a bigger softcover. I had an small paperback version but I lost it after university somewhere. Thank you again P.G.  But of course the best gift of all is seeing my fav gal in 2 weeks. Nothing can top that.

*  Please don't hold it against me. I was in some kind of trance. I was watching it and then I suddenly snapped myself to reality and changed the channel.

21 Million Versus 5

So I had been putting reading off a certain novel because I usually hate feeding into popular stuff  (ie Twilight and Harry Potter). Watching the first hour of the new movie that just came out (featuring Daniel Craig) made me bite the bullet. I went to my local used book store and bought this :

And as people have told me it is a hard book to put down. So the back cover states that 21 million copies have been sold. So 21 million have read it.  Which brings me to the next purchase (which I thought was a gem) :

So maybe five people have read this old school fantasy book form the 80's.  Ha! I think this book is cool though.  So since the books came in two, I will leave you with two random pics*:
