The Forbidden Post Office Failure
Preparing to visit the forbidden post office. Preparing to visit the forbidden post office. With a postcard. Here is the McNeil forbidden post office complete with its own forbidden post office delivery box. Getting here feels like you’re driving into a construction site that you’re not supposed to be in. This location also doubles as Continue reading

I Got My First Postcard! (And A New Adventure Book!)
Woohoo! My first postcrossing postcard has arrived from Hungary! Look at these beautiful buildings from 1973 Hungary! This card is also much wider than the image above appears to be. I love it! 💕 I used my lunch break to check the mail because I was expecting to receive another adventure book yesterday but the Continue reading

Postcard #11, Borrowed Pen Scribble And The Beginnings of A Fantasy Tavern
Postcrossing.com card #11 has been shipped off to Germany. This is the first time I have had a repeat country, but as I recall Germany is in the top 5 for postcrossing members, so this is not a surprise. I shared a story on this postcard about when my wife and I were backpacking across Continue reading

Glue random items? Well I have good news for you Mr. Journal, I finally took off my temporary bracelet from Ninja Nation and have recently purchased some new clear glue.

Why Can’t I Make A Blanket Fort?
Two days ago I drew a card from the side quest deck and got “No Social Media Day” and since I had already been on social media that day and also because I really don’t want to do that card I drew another which was the “Build A Blanket Fort” card. This is not a Continue reading

Vietnamese Food, TTRPGs & The Draw While Moving Page of WTJ
V for Vietnam is now completed in the weekly Food From Every Letter of The Alphabet challenge. Twenty-one letters remain. This is a restaurant with large portions and a do-it-yourself sort of customer experience. For example you seat yourself and you do not get a check brought to your table. This took a little bit Continue reading

Washi Tape & Candy!
Wow! Washi tape is really affordable! So I got a bunch! The ink is for one of the Wreck This Journal challenges. Pomawka. This is the first Eastern European candy that I have purchased that I can spell on my phone and this one is fantastic. I worry when I see flowers on candy as Continue reading

The Forbidden Post Office – I’m Going
I noticed years ago a post office very close to where I live, but it always looks closed and abandoned… I mean, it’s definitely real. I’ve driven up to it before, but have never gone in as it’s always closed. This building is only open between two and four hours a day, so I’ll need Continue reading

Preparing To Be A Tourist In My Own Town
It is difficult to find tourist pamphlets in my own city of Austin. Figured I’d go to the rest area North of town. Nothing. Figured I’d turn around and catch the Southbound one that’s actually on the way to Austin. Nothing. Some gas stations, some truck stops and then a hotel. This is where I Continue reading

Wreck This Journal is Labeled!
Finished labeling my second copy of Wreck This Journal (first copy was lost in Toronto back in like 2011 or something). 67 items remain and the destruction will be glorious! I was thinking about how difficult it would be to speed run one of these. None of these activities require a lot of setup. Some Continue reading

The Planning Slump
The 4th of July was a lazy day and I am late getting out of bed today. Bow that Wreck This Journal Everywhere is complete and also that I am maxed out on cards to send through postcrossing I have been preparing for the next adventure(s.)

Wreck This Journal Has Been Found!
So I have a history with loosing copies of this book… I lost our first copy when my partner and I went backpacking across Canada, and many years later I boght another copy and lost it. So I bought a third copy called Wreck This Journal Everywhere. My assumption based on this title was that Continue reading
