don't call it a comeback

Hey y'all! I've decided to dust off the ol' commentary and dissent and see if she still plays. I read through the archives and was struck by how few things have changed in my life since Nov.2007 (!) but how huge those few things are.

SAME:

Everlasting love for leechat

Occasionally completed crafts

Novelty lounge pants

Fervent loyalty to bad t.v. shows

Crazy for breakfast, beer, bill clinton

Striving to complete NYT crossword sunday

DIFFERENT:

New cat-Hubert Cumberdale, better known as "Notlee"

New computer-thanks, gov't knockup  bonus

New love-that's right, spinster cat lady got herself a man. Don't ask how or why, I don't know. I'll spare y'all the gory details, but I'll just say that after a year of trying to destroy me the universe has finally cut me some slack.

So 2008 wasn't without its high points. I had a super fun suicide prevention weekend (some people call this a birthday), Thanksgiving break was great for reasons I'm sure you'd rather not know about-except the part about the Conor Oberst show (eyes become cartoon hearts). I have a solid group of friends who go above and beyond the call of duty at every opportunity. I have a beautiful child, and the world's best cat. It was impossible to see it at the time, but now I understand that I had some lessons to (re)learn...blah, blah. 

Holy crap. I'm forgetting that the point of this blogging thing is to write about breakfast and crafts, not blather on about life lessons! Jeez!

Ok, let's jump right back in. Today's breakfast-bagel, juice, coffee. The crafting has kind of stalled out. You would not believe the amount of things I've been doing lately. And not once have I remembered to bring a camera with me. Stupid! Stupid! Luckily we live in the computer age so I can offer a few links for those of you with even more time on your hands.

Yesterday we drove out to Willow City and had a few lonestars at Harry's on the loop. Harry's is (so far) the best bar I've ever seen, and I can't find any pictures on these darn internet tubes to do it justice. Note to self: put camera in bag and leave it there! I'll just say poorly maintained taxidermy animals wearing various holiday adornments. Next time I'll have pictures, I promise. 

Saturday we went to see Adventureland, and it was pretty good. Sweet, not too gag-laden but funny. Thumbs up. Plus Martin Starr is in it. You may know him as Bill Haverchuck, my favorite character on Freaks and Geeks. Or, like some people I know you may have never seen Freaks and Geeks. You should. Soon. 

Hmm. Noon. Guess I should take a shower. Later!
