I hope everyone had a passable Christmas. It was mostly the usual for me: Christmas eve, day, and boxing day at the Burrow with the Weasleys. Remus showed up just in time for dinner on Christmas day, and Fleur made some weird seafood, and for the first time ever I ate more pudding than anyone else, even Charlie. It was a nice time

Nobody else has hair as perfect as mine, Cleave.

[pottersfield]

I didn't say your hair was perfect, did I?

Though I guess it's true that nobody else has hair like yours, if that was in fact you.

[jmff]

It was me and yes, perhaps my hair was a bit windblown. It's hard protesting out in the cold and all.

Are you going to throw a drink on me if I confess that you've never struck me as the activist sort?

I was too tired to cope with Molly's insufferable, I'm sorry. I would've liked to have seen you but you can't help siding with Ron and given you your gift in person.

The books are wonderful, thank you. I assume Pinter came to mind because of the Nobel?

[pottersfield]

Yeah, there was an article about Pinter in the Times. I've not read him myself, as you can probably guess. Thanks for the coat. I guess I really needed one, because I kept losing lighters and money and only just realised that it's because I had holes in my pockets.

So you were too tired? For Christmas? So I guess the new job is really taking a lot out of you, then.

[orestes_bride]

Yes, well, Pinter has an exquisite touch when it comes to describing how ambiguities precipitate breakdowns. Read it for pleasure though, there's a lot there.

The new job is a bit stressful, even for me, but that should pass once I get my bearings.

Ambiguities? I read comics for pleasure. I like pictures and too many words make my head hurt. Probably because they're so ambiguous.

So... what, they didn't let you have Christmas off?
