This is so cool it makes my head hurt:

At first I thought the idea was irksome, but then I looked at the slide show and it's amazingly cool and complex and pretty damn weird.

the continuing quest for airmail stationary

Did I mention I found some recently in a random stationary shop behind a bunch of other boxes, but it had stains from a coffee cup being set on it and I almost bought it anyway because it was funny?

I'm just mailing another letter to Patty, and as charmed as I am by my light blue/cream stationary, I again had the thought of airmail paper and started Googling.

What's more surreal -- that someone on Etsy actually makes up stationary that vaguely looks like old airmail stationary? Or that I found this on Ebay and my brain is whirring with possibilities. That's a crazy thing to want to get my hands on, right? I donut need a multimedia Torchwood project (also, my illegible scrawl is brilliant for Snape's handwriting in Descensus, but utterly not useful here), but it's fucking genius, right? Anyone want to do a Jack/Estelle epistolary story with me? (yeah, my willpower? less than zero, kids).
