Avery, do a close-up of your eyes.  I'm curious to the color.

...they're brown.

Wait - are you serious?  I feel like this is a weird moment where I don't get the joke.

It is creepy.  But I can't randomly think of a reason not to.  But I can't find a picture that looks right.  They all just look black, and they aren't really black.  Just very dark brown.

Sometimes I do things that Avery does.

Plus, that sweater? IT IS A COMBINATION OF A SERAPE AND A CARDIGAN! 

And here's what I got in the mail yesterday:

"Sometimes I do things that Avery does"

All the time!  Plus I got my copy of Andrez's book, like, forever ago.  GOSH!

I like your nail polish.

No cardigan-serape jokes? I was looking forward to defending my fashion choices by declaring myself a Hipster-Cowboy.

It just looks like a regular sweater in the pic. Slightly questionable color combo, but otherwise it looks normal.

Right I know you can't tell in the pic, but I told you--it's a cardrape (I made that word up).

Spent Saturday at the hubble's law school formal at the prohibition-era Wabasha Caves. My ginormous pupils gave me demon eyes in all the flash photos, and in "fixing" them ended up with scary witch eyes, instead.

Minks are VINTAGE and were anally electrocuted before I was even born. Their names are Bernie and Sal.
