In a telescope lens

I need to get more clever with gifts. I give really obvious things every year.

Ah, okay. They're good guitars. You're welcome! Glad to hear you're finally doing something you've wanted to. It's very gratifying. !


I know. The show's just so damn addictive. Homeland is too.


66 on Monday, I think. Then much colder by Friday. No wonder the ice caps are melting. This is ridiculous.

You've never been to Boston? Well, it's the greatest city in the world. You really should go. If you do, contact me. I'll give you all the best sights and restaurants and such. !!

I know! I'm so glad to have him back on one of my teams. Really? You should! The Sox are the best. You should go to Fenway, it's so friggin' great there. It's like baseball heaven there.

Looove the Phils too, but I'm worried about them. The Sox are already making all these moves and the Phils haven't done anything.


Watch them get more pitchers.

Yeah, it's been tough but I'm almost done my share of it thank god.



I know, he's driving me crazy. He's home too damn much.


I can't wait until Christmas break.

That's a really clever gift from your brother!! No one in my family's that clever.

A guitar? That's awesome! What kind is it, do you know?


I think you'll be okay teaching yourself. I learned when I was 12 and I did have lessons, but my teacher was awful. He was some stupid college kid who would just jam to himself the entire half hour. So I basically taught myself.

Just a couple pointers- be patient with it. It'll take a while to get used to. Especially when you're first building up your blisters. It hurts like hell for a while but if you're dedicated you'll barely notice it.

Oh gosh, I don't know! I think my sister might be getting me a season of The Walking Dead which would be amazing. I've become so obsessed with that show.

The rest will probably be vinyls and baked goods- two of my favorite things. !

They say it's supposed to get colder late next week so, that'll be good. I reject this warm weather.

I know! We get rainy Christmases sometime, which is like a kick in the face.


Didya year? Shane Victorino's going to the Red Sox! I'm glad I get to cheer for him again.



BUSY. I'm working 10 hour days on average now. The New York branch fired a bunch of people a few weeks ago and laid the rest of a HUGE project on me and my fellow designers. I barely have time for anything, meanwhile Brian's at home going nuts. Talks are supposed to resume again soon, so that's good. And we're leaving for Boston in a couple weeks for Christmas. !


I used to find it SO hard to study for finals when you know your big winter break is just days away. !!! But you're in the home stretch! Good luck on your finals!


Any ideas of what you're getting for Christmas? !!!

!


I know! I was thinking about how I'll be spending Christmas in Boston this year, and they usually get a crap load of snow. But they might not now that it's like, 85 out in December.

Can we just get ONE white Christmas? One? The last time we had a big storm come on Christmas, I was like five. In Boston. And I don't remember much of it, except my cousin's taxi getting stuck outside our house.


You did good! You helped me feel like I was right about those first two and a kitchen re-do wouldn't be worth it. Thanks for the help!

Yeah. It wasn't amazing, but it kept my interest this time. !


Haha, I know! I was outside in short sleeves today. In December. Fuck you, global warming.


Hah, I know! I watched season 1 of BE but I haven't been keeping up with it, I gotta catch up.



That really sucks! Why can't professors at least attempt to make classes interesting anymore? It's just studying and tests, and then by the end you don't remember any of it.


Sending you a PM now!

Aw, really? Because things actually happened last night. It was a bit more interesting.

They're running out of time, too. Only two more episodes left and things just now feel like they might be starting up. This has been the worst season of Dexter by far.

Haha, yeah, I make sure I watch the Walking Dead when it airs because I follow too many blogs dedicated to it. I'd be ruined for it in a matter of seconds. Damn Tumblr.


IT'S TOO WARM OUT TODAY. I don't like this.


It does! Ugh, there are SO many good shows on TV right now. I feel SO overwhelmed.


Aww, really? What are they having you do?

What is with Coldplaying? I thought I was on the wrong site at first. It's cute, though.



Hahaha, I keep saying that too! I keep hoping, PRAYING that this show will get better. It used to be SO good, so I'm not going to give up on it just yet.


Haha, well I'll remind you when your winter break comes 'round. You won't regret it, both of the shows are SO much better than Dexter is right now.



I'm so gonna stay inside those warm days this week and pretend it's like, 20 out.


It's SO bizarre! People were on the beach, in bikinis, wearing Santa hats. I was just walking around the streets going "this is too weird" until I went home. I felt like I didn't have a Christmas that year.


Oh my god!!

This show is just too damn good.

I'm so excited. !!!!

Oh and Brian and I are touring MORE houses today and tomorrow, but after that I swear I'm going to pound you with photos of houses and you have to tell me which ones you like the most.

That's... sad. And oh my god I've really always hated Deb, but this season. Oh my god. She's whines more than my two year old niece.


Yes, hopefully the season will finally begin.


You still need to start Homeland and The Walking Dead, woman.



I know! Thanks a lot, global warming. UGH. It's too late in the year and too close to Christmas for me to enjoy that kind of weather. No. I want six feet of snow.

I honestly don't know how people in the southern hemisphere do it. Christmas is in the summer for them. Once, like six years ago, I was in Sydney for Christmas and it was 82 on Christmas day. I made sure I never did that again. IT NEEDS TO BE COLD ON CHRISTMAS, THAT'S JUST THE WAY THE WORLD WORKS.





Aww, well the good thing about it is it's only once a year.


I haven't watched it yet! Where is it?!
