Hope everyone had a happy holiday. I was pleasantly surprised by my oma and opa this year. They flew all the way out to L.A. to see me...and bless them, they didn't bring my parents.

I didn't get back to the office until late this afternoon so it was a nice treat to find presents for me there too.

Henry, the book you put together is amazing, I'm sure it took you a while to find all of those compositions and put them all together like this.

That mirror you gave me, Herr Greed, is absurd...I love it. I spent an entire afternoon putting things in front of it...and I've found a very practical use for it.

Herr Justice, I'm not sure who Sheryl Nome is, but the CD was superb and so were the plecks! As for the finger painting...I wonder who gave you that bit of inspiration. It's going on my wall in the office!

Daryan I had a nice chat, sorry I couldn't stay a little longer, but visiting time was limited. Hope you enjoyed the gifts.

Danke Schön!

On a more serious note...is it un-neighborly to want to put up a hedge between your home and your new neighbor's home? I say this because I have these new neighbors...moved in not too long ago and they have a very interesting lifestyle. They're nice people and all but... I did get some very unhelpful advice when I went to the office. An associate of mine told me to write an anonymous letter...a brilliant idea in theory until you get down to the writing:

Dear Neighbors,

Not that I don't enjoy the view, but your bedroom window looks right into my bedroom window. I would be much obliged if you'd invest in some curtains.

Signed,
Anonymous

You can see the gaping holes in this can't you? And it's like watching a train wreck, you don't really want to, but when it's there for all the world to see it it's just kind of hard to look away. Then you want to go burn your corneas out with some liquid plumber. You see the dilemma?

I'm Sheryl Nome! So you're who Apollo was shopping for, hmm?

Klavier Gavin, it's a pleasure to meet the woman behind the voice. Yes, I imagine Herr Justice thought I'd enjoy music I've never heard before and I do enjoy your CD.

If you weren't so worried about yer image in yer own world, I'd tell you to pay back a show with a show.

[herrglimmerous.livejournal.com]

That is passive aggressive, but these are the kind of people who wear glasses that are two inches thick...so I'd be this fuzzy naked mass to them. And wouldn't it just beat all if someone with perfect eyesight walked by and saw me jamming in my bedroom? Me with my balls in the headlights. I shudder.

[material_guy]

Didn't figure you the shy type. Wouldn't you just call their free view "generosity" on yer part?

[herrglimmerous.livejournal.com]

Well it's not like I do pornography, I don't particularly enjoy being exposed to passersby even if the viewer is fortunate. You know, because sometimes you don't know who's watching.

[material_guy]

Well, it was a joke anyway.

Why don'tcha just give 'em some curtains? You're a generous guy like that.

[herrglimmerous.livejournal.com]

Really...I didn't think you'd joke about something like that.

Well...for the same reason I can't send an anonymous note they would know that I could see them and then they'd call me a pervert...which is true I guess. It's just not something you want to look at, but it's glaring at you first thing in the morning. I could close my curtain I guess, but that would be very depressing.

[material_guy]

I do know yer too big on your image over there to want naked shots getting out, even if it's a good idea. Give me some credit.

[herrglimmerous.livejournal.com]

Sorry, sorry...my misunderstanding...but usually you'd beg to differ just to give me a headache.

[truthinfortune.livejournal.com]

You really do like that mirror...?

[herrglimmerous.livejournal.com]

I liked all of my gifts. I've just never really though of a mirror that doesn't reverse before...it's unusual.

[truthinfortune.livejournal.com]

Oh. Well, that's, um... good, I suppose? I didn't think anyone would actually like any of Greed's gifts...

[herrglimmerous.livejournal.com]

I'm not that picky, I guess. I would've been content with a card or something...but the fact that he got me a mirror shows that he knows me.

[truthinfortune.livejournal.com]

I'd dare say he must know you the best out of everyone then, considering that you actually like your gift... Either that, or he actually likes you enough to get you a gift that you'd genuinely enjoy...

[herrglimmerous.livejournal.com]

It's really hard to say with Greed.

[truthinfortune.livejournal.com]

His way of thinking is... certainly unique, I know that much...

Well, I'm happy that you're enjoying your gift, Mr. Gavin. It was one of the few that I didn't have to fight him tooth and nail over!

[herrglimmerous.livejournal.com]

His way of thinking has it's own way of giving me a headache sometimes.

Hmmm...I think it's because he was pretty certain he couldn't shock me with anything lewd.

[wearecowboys.livejournal.com]

It did, but I had fun putting it together as well. It made me feel a little nostalgic, actually.

[herrglimmerous.livejournal.com]

Nostalgic...? I guess music has that kind of way about it.

[wearecowboys.livejournal.com]

Well, specifically, the ones I chose certainly brought about those feelings.

[herrglimmerous.livejournal.com]

Really? Well if the opportunity presents itself I'll have to play them for you.

[wearecowboys.livejournal.com]

That would be nice.

[herrglimmerous.livejournal.com]

Just let me know if you're a piano guy or a guitar guy.

[wearecowboys.livejournal.com]

I like both, but piano would be interesting.
