children, broad ripple is burning.

i have not neglected you, blog!

oh dear. i lie. i have indeed been neglecting you! but it is not on purpose, no. i have been splendidly busy with friends, christmas extravaganza, work, and other delightful adventures. forgive me.

but do let me regale you with the lovely things i received this christmas:

dvds:
all about eve
the philadelphia story
casablanca
pushing daisies: season one (from miss heather dagger)
my so-called life: complete series
sense and sensibility (how i love my jane austen films)

clothes:
1 favorite style of jeans by silver
a vest/shirt combo (a wonderful throwback to the 90's)
rhinestone studded audrey hepburn shirt
green button down jacket
black peacoat
black leather slouch boots (fabulous!)
long sleeved billabong vintage shirt
striped fashion scarf
green music and star long sleeved shirt
green giraffe shirt (from sister and reminds me of my love for heather)

other:
the new margot and the nuclear so & so's cd (from heather!)
various other margot and say hi and mix cds (from heather)
gift card for victoria's secret (hoorah!!!)
angel perfume (one cannot run out of their signature scent. it would be tragic!)
stocking stuff (mini toiletries etc.)
a black and silver bracelet
an angel ornament (tradition)
under garments & striped socks
the chicago manual of style (an editor's must have!)
a black filing cabinet (complete with folders)

there you have it. i think that concludes it!

to my family and heather i got these amazing blankets from richelle's family's embroidery store. i got their favorite pictures of me and them and put them on the blankets, blown up style. they turned out wonderfully! they went over really well, i think. i am awful at gifts, but these seemed perfect and sentimental. good combo! for justin i got a few random things and a subscription to "writer's digest" (as his editor) and the series of my so-called life. i think he will enjoy it.

christmas went far better than i thought it would. maybe a positive mindset is all it takes. hm. makes sense. anyway. i plan to update more later.

upcoming events:
dec. 29th - kitty kat club (free acoustic performances from oh crap mo is here, shoreline, and more)
jan. 4th - triple rock (farewell continental and red fox grey fox)

I have all of those DVDs except for The Philadelphia Story - which, I should really get on. Which version do you have though? Grace Kelly?

Also, All About Eve may be my favourite movie of all time. The script, the acting, THE BACKSTORY - it's brilliant!!!
