Today's Tumblr: Anatomical Hearts, November 21.
I now have all holiday gifts purchased, but for my mother's. I was hoping to find a sale on Wüsthof knives, but it looks like I'm going to have to go with Henckles. Which is fine. Right now she's using some wretched piece of crap knife that slides right off whatever it is you're cutting and is a health hazard. I refuse to help her chop food when I visit because I am terrified of her cheap, dull knives. So anyway, out later this week for a couple knives and then I am done.

mckitterick and my parents get an easy road when it comes to buying gifts for me. I usually come up with one or two things that I suggest--almost always with links for pictures or purchase. The people whom I know that expect to buy me gifts (by this I mean the people whose feelings will be hurt if I say "really, don't buy me anything") never fear a lack of gift suggestions--very specific gift suggestions--from me. Whether or not they pay attention, well...it was a source of irritation in some prior relationships ("but if I buy you that, it won't be a surprise"), and mckitterick's family hasn't quite caught on yet, but it's cool.
This is all a very roundabout way of bringing up the subject of What I Already Got For Xmas this year. Check these motherfucking boots, y'all.
They're by Frye. And they fit like they were made for me. Aw, yeah.
I made this new LJ icon in celebration. That's a screen shot from a Due South episode, btw, so it's a double-win.
