Why is it that, just when you're getting pumped for the holidays, bookstores are like, "No, sorry, it's January time?" I mean, I understand it when it's November and you just really really can't wait to see what Vogue has suggested for you to buy for your mere acquaintances who are only really worth $250 and Cosmo's naughty-elf role-playing costume ideas, and to appease you the Christmas issues are out early. But when it's December 15 and I want to hang out at Barnes & Noble and drink coffee and read some thick-ass December issues, there they are, the slim, sickly January issues. Such a dissappointment. At least Vanity Fair is good this--I mean, next month.
Speaking of which, I know that I keep offering excuses, but posting will probably be spotty this weekend because the weather has just turned into bullshit, and I'm going over to my boyfriend's, who thank God lives in town, to wait it out. And at his house they've dismantled the internet on every computer but the ones owned by those who pay rent. So I can use my boyfriend's computer, but it's just weird, like, when instead of "Megaman X8 cheat codes on xbox," his Google toolbar says "Hayden Panittiere only has one facial expression." But when I get back home, it's nothing but free time, except for the one day I promised to spend with this beautiful little boy. I wish I had the chance to read all my usual blogs, but that might have to wait too. But that means I'll have a glorious amount of catching up to do!

Ugh, I completely agree about the magazine thing. Especially over winter break when I'm lazing around with nothing to do but read magazines - and they're all about 20 pages long minus the 500 ads!
Yes, magazines need to fit better with the actual season. It's just the right time to curl up with a thick magazine and pour through the pages, but instead I'll be looking at models in warm locales that don't appeal at the moment.
agree, so annoying!
Yeah, when my girlfriend finishes playing on my computer, all I have is a bunch of lolcats in the cache.
Gosh, I love her.
