私はラッキーですよ。私の彼女はアッシュリーベアです。彼女はジャーナリストと中学の先生として社員だったけど今マーケティングの経営学修士があります。でも彼女の写真はきれいだと思って、彼女がもっと撮影くれたいです!それに私は詩を書くのが好きだけど詩を書く時間がありません。とにかく、先日、彼女が私に「新しいプロジェクトを一緒にやりたいの?」と言いました。そして「詩撮影」というプロジェクトは生まれました! 私が詩を書いて彼女は私の詩に似合う写真を取ります。そしたら彼女が新しい写真を取って私は彼女の写真に似合う詩を書きます。いいんでしょう? 私は今晩に初めての詩をポストします。今朝にもう書きました。楽しみですね!

My wife randomly decided to watch Better Call Saul and so far this is way more for me than Breaking Bad was. I tried three times to get through that show and never made it all the way through. Some great performances but something about it was so relentlessly depressing.
