we’ll call it a weekly thing

Sunday, January 18th, 2009

Hi.

I bet you’re wondering what’s goin’ on. That’s why you’re here.

So I should, like, tell you and stuff.

Gotta be honest with you, sweet people, I’m feeling a little less wordy this morning, as looming over my laptop screen is a mess of an office nook that MUST. BE. ORGANIZED.

OR.
I.
WILL.
GO.
INNNN-SANE.

So, today I’m into the whole brevity thing. Dude. But, I owe you a weekly recap, so here goes:

  • I still love my job.
  • Walked to and from work every day except Monday, when I used Nitrobob to deliver groceries.
  • Got a roomy new backpack, replacing my fun cross-body laptop case on workdays.
  • Reorganized the office supply area, and it was a monumental task.
  • Learned how to play Go.
  • Jed and I watched Ben animate at Drink and Draw.
  • Saw Matthew and Sara at Wilf’s, and listened to Matthew sing some jazz.
  • Played pool with Christina and Ben at Shanghai Tunnel, then we enjoyed seafood.
  • Had dinner with Brittany and Jacob, then we all watched JCVD.
  • Augmented the “chopsticks only” rule to “chopsticks most of the time”.
  • Still doing okay on the other New Year’s Resolutions.
  • Developed an aversion to beer. One and then I’m done. Wine’s still fine.
  • Looking forward to a paycheck on Tuesday. Call me Scrooge McDuck!
  • We get a new President on Tuesday. I would tell you about the text message that Christina sent me re: Getting Rid of Bush, but it’s too racy for my innocent little fingers to re-type.

I’m planning to write about my innaugural experience. It will be epic. Check back Wednesday.

In the meantime, all you game nerds enjoy this:
