Goodbye and Good Riddance 2011: Maybe the even years are better  

Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. 2011? Room for improvement. Srsly.

I do not like any of the Tcho chocolates.

I think their chocolates are kind of an acquired taste. OTOH, their hot chocolate (which you can get from their factory tasting room in SF) is amazing.

Because books.

I don't want instructions with my food! Especially chocolate. It should just be EAT and NOM.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I want to take you to the "blind" eating in LA, Amy.. Something that's too complicated for, you know, food. Or molecular gastronomy. We got lots of it here.

Because books.

Blind eating? That sounds frightening.

Nah, don't be afraid of the dark.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Eating in the dark (I actually did it blindfolded, because it was a special event) is fascinating.

Really, 2011, you can go. Turns out that one day when I was out they handed out bonus checks - small ones, but still. Mine was left in my office ... but I never saw it. Really. I'm OVER 2011.

Oh, Todd, that is hugely suck!

Giftee, your package will be going out today. I hope it gets there in time for Christmas, but it will surely be before the end of the year.

Oh, for god's sake. Can you get them to cut you another one?

Thanks - they're cutting me another. Also the check reimbursing me for some office expenses I put on my personal credit card.

sigh ... guess I should be glad I didn't have my purse stolen.
