dude, I can't even imagine that New Yorker thing. How can it be every article?? My mind reels with lustful joy just thinking about it. Won't it take a lifetime to get through? That would be an amazing present. I should have asked for that too. Instead I didn't ask for anything. Sorry for commenting all at once (and being accidentally harsh on that other one!), but I am catching up on blogs. TURKEYS.
