  8. I got caught up on Serial yesterday, too – and now I'm seriously bummed there isn't a new one this week since I have to work the day after Thanksgiving – and basically nobody will be in the office that day and I wanted the entertainment!!! Sigh. Oh well.

    And yeah. I am maintaining my opinion that those glasses are absolutely amazing on you.
