Happy New Year, Minions!

Behold: 2008! A mighty splendid thing of beauty! A brand-spankin' new unmarred, sexy little year lying there all patiently awaiting us to sully it and fuck it up.

But... for now, a fantastic page waiting to be written, that's the year before us.

Me, I'm batting a thousand so far. The inimitable GayBoy swung by to drop off more of my favourite drug of choice, coffee (work perks at the ominous Starbucks that he throws my way). While here, he helped shove my Christmas decorations into the upper regions of my in-suite storage, and got all giddy imagining it in the future as a pantry or something of actual use. I mumbled how I'd have to go through the storage and purge. 

Next thing you know, we're "disappearing" boxes of old house paint, unused pots and pans, and taking everything out to the curb. Now it's many hours later and my hands are diiirty as I've been going through all my books and (gasp) old videos and stuff, and now I have a towering heap of books to take to the used bookstore, and sexy almost organized 20-wall-feet of bookshelves (that are ceiling height). Oh, perfect! I'm just giddy about it.

And I'm exhausted, and I have a long day back to work tomorrow... but this is precisely the kind of start to my new year I needed.

A few more evenings of this, and I'll have a completely stripped place where I finally can chill and feel happy to be. Pretty important to feel that way about one's home.

Anyhow. Just wanted to say hi and a very happy new year to all of you. Hope you're having similarly auspicious beginnings. Have an excellent day back on the job for all you poor suckers in a boat like mine.
