2009? What?

So it's been a few months. Sue me.

Let me see if I can appropriately summarize the winter season:

1. Pittsburgh stole all my fun dammit!
2. I stole the 'other' kind of fun back from OKC.
3. Remembered on Remembrance Day.
4. Thanksgiving saw 10lbs of butter disappear.
5. Seattle got dumped on and we dumped on Cali.
6. New Year's at the Space Needle.
7. New Year = new job offer. Boo Yah!
8. New job = new apartment. Because I can.

And the most famous quote for the New Year, courtesy of the really, really, really drunk European under the Space Needle on New Year's Eve is...cue awards show suspense music...

"This is America! They can take your mortgage...but they can never take your smiles."

Thanks, friend. Words to live by.

As a sidenote, I would like to point out that apparently, leaving old job does in fact = suddenly ok to break the 5-martini (personally imposed) limit at the company Christmas party. And as a sidenote to the sidenote, can I just point out that whatever you all followed me to the Triple Door.
