I received an e-mail today from TCG's stepmom asking us to make a list of what we want for Christmas because it is "coming soon". Seriously?
I was starting to wonder, back in August, why my dad hadn't done the annual "What are you doing for Christmas" summer inquisition - until he told me that he and his partner are going on holiday to Asia over Christmas. It's all right for some.
My Sociology of Crime and Deviance evening class was cool! Except I had to park bloody miles away. And it seems the class is going to end anytime between 8.30 and 9, whenever the teacher gets tired, so taxis are probably out. I might have to overcome my terror of buses for this one. Gah. Buses.
Edited for clarity.
And then again for punctuation.
My dad is obsessive about finishing his Christmas shopping as early as possible. The fact that it's almost October and he's not finished is causing him great stress.
Truefax.
The years I have money I usually start keeping an eye out for Christmas gifts in September. I'll have two or three left to find by December.
Yay, the awesome bargain leather pants will live on on buffistahood!
Meanwhile, Jilli, there's a great jacket with lots of buttons at H&M...
I usually Christmas shop year round and pick up stuff as I see things that will be great for people. I have a big family and financially it's a lot easier to pace myself all year than do a big shop in the fall.
I got Jilli a prezzie when I was in SF this weekend, and she's going to luvre it when I eventually send it to her.

This is a whole Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants thing! Possibly! (...I know nothing about that book/movie beyond the title.)
Also, they are of the devil. I say this because I've caught them creeping into my e-mail, etc., SURELY typed by fingers other than my own. SURELY.
God, word. I've resisted the fuckers for a decade, but they're definitely starting to creep in. I blame this guy, because I've started to see the stylised expression of dismay as highly comical:

See? It's oddly disarming.

I'm charmed to bits both by the Spanish PM's daughters being goths, and by the fact that their privacy is so fiercely guarded. Spain: pretty damn awesome, in many and varied ways.
Also? Good morning. Jings. Can it be bedtime again?
Argh. Why is my advisor not responding to my emails? I just need to know whether he can meet with me tomorrow or not, and I first asked last Thursday!

The less money I have, the earlier I start shopping. I've successfully done a fair bit of Christmas shopping at garage sales.
Codeine is making me feel woozy. Though I felt a little woozy before taking it, too. Ankle hurts less, though.
Advisor still hasn't emailed me back. I think I might not go into the office tomorrow. Ankle needs a rest.
Can codeine make eyes itchy? It seems like, whenever I take it, my eyes get dry and itchy.
