Bob from Dallas got me two bars of bacon-induced chocolate - he was even thoughtful enough to pick a milk chocolate and a dark one (thank god I like both)!

He also got me some Texan glassware - a Dallas skyline coffee mug and two pint-size glasses, one with a nice Texas "badge", and the other with Dallas Cowboys logo (had to check whether it's a football or a baseball team, but don't tell anyone!). It's a small hit among my friends, many of whom study, along with me, study American Culture.

I thought that this was a cool gift - I actually missed some bigger glasses and the chocolate bars were delicious, but then, a couple days later, I got another package! This time, it wasn't directly from Bob, but from Amazon. It was pretty heavy, and inside it were, gift-wrapped:

"Habibi" by Craig Thompson "Big Questions" by Anders Nilsen and "Daytripper" by Fabio Moon and Gabriel Ba

These are amazing comic books that were a little bit out of my reach, and so they were "waiting for their day" on my wishlist.

Thanks Bob! You're great!
