See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Jesus, WTF?
ION, I finally finished all the delicious yet sick-making toffee candy in my house. I am free!
I think the chocolate orange is all that's left now.

mmm, chocolate orange. Ok, when you find yourself imitating KO imitating Homer Simpson, you watch Too Much TV.

I have scored free office champagne (Roederer's - good stuff), and chocolate. The afternoon is saved.
I am getting paid to drink champagne.

Considering the effect champagne has on me, I could do that. And get busted by a vice cop.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Just read 400+ messages, and have nothing coherent to say (may also have to do with the flexeril and vicodin) except--how was I to know Grey Goose was pricey? I'm not sure I got that far in my b.org research.
Back from the South Coast, back home in Kingston. Vacation was brief and, well, it sounds weird to say relaxing when this bit of the vacation (ie not at the beach) is relaxing, and that bit about being in LA with no job isn't as stressful as it should be.
But it was.
Now I'm sorting digital photos and contemplating dinner.
Haven't had many good (recent) NYEs. This year is unplanned although a friend promises to invite me to a rocking bash. Maybe. Mostly I'm arriving at LAX at 8pm and will want not much more than food and sleep, I suspect.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I was just at the eye doctor's, and she dilated my eyes. The drive home was interesting, and it took me 6 minutes to park my car (those of you who have seen my parking space may actually be impressed it only took me that long.)

how was I to know Grey Goose was pricey?
Speaking of insane price markups, here's a detailed exposé about The Noka Chocolate Company.
So, if you buy Noka's 48-piece Vintages Encore box for $100, you're getting about the same amount of chocolate you would have gotten by buying one 100-gram Bonnat bar at a retail price of $7.50. That's a markup of more than 1,300% over the retail price.

Lee, that's kind of...scary.
This past christmas trip home was the most relaxing xmas I've had in, um...4 years. I love my brother, nephew and SIL, but returning to old traditions and having no grand agenda (other than shop) and no drama was delightful.
It was also the first time I've mixed parents with friends from adulthood. They briefly met friends in college, but that was basically hellos at graduation, so it was kinda a milestone that hadn't occured to me until it was upon me. It was very good.
