Where to start?

-It's snowing again.  Pursuant of my last post, I'm not very excited about this.  On the somewhat bright side, if things ice over I will probably have the day off tomorrow on the account of my car being unable to leave the garage.  Strangely enough, I'm kind of ready to get back to work right now.

-In the last month I've had 3 friends tie the knot, and another 3 that are now officially engaged. Did I miss a memo here or something?  Speaking of which... Sherman, have you gotten the memo yet?

-There was just an infomercial on TV for the "GRAbit," which is a tool that removed stripped screws "in under 10 seconds!"  I don't think I've ever been so tempted to buy something from an infomercial in my life.  I'm not quite sure if it is because trying to remove a stripped screw is extremely frustrating, or because instead of a "order in the next 10 minutes and save" they actually have a 30 second count down clock on the screen.  I actually found myself thinking "I need this right?  Where is my phone? I only have 21 seconds left!"  

-My house is flooding. Well, not really.  A few days ago a puddle of water started to form outside of our laundry room.  My landlord just came over and she seems to think that we opened the door to the washing machine mid cycle and let a bunch of water pour out, and are thus responsible for the water damage that has occurred.  This actually makes sense except that:

A) My roommate is currently in Australia.

B) I haven't done laundry for over two weeks and the laundry room door has been closed the whole time.  

C) Opening the washing machine door after you start a load is about a 4 step process, each step of which would be impossible to complete without thinking to one's self "If I do this, a large amount of water is going to spill out onto the floor."  I may be stupid sometimes, but I'm not THAT stupid.

I can't wait to see how this whole situation works itself out.  And by situation, I mean how to deal with my dwindling supply of boxer briefs and socks.

-The 2008 Hoops & Suey Reunion Tour has officially concluded.  Among the highlights of the reunion...

1) The girl Hoops "found" himself dancing with, on New Years Eve.  She was definitely a dime piece among a sea of 1 dollar bills.  This whole situation only got better when her date started trying to dance with her at the same time as Hoops. Hilarious.

2) Mystery Pong.  It's what happens at the end of a week of drinking when only the following is left in your refrigerator:

1 can of Guinness

2 cans of Bud light

2 bottles of some strange wheat beer

1 half bottle of champagne

1 half bottle of tequila

1 half cartoon of 2% milk

Let's just say that this was a horrible time for my week long win streak to come to an end...

3) When you put two people (Pat and Hoops) in a situation where they probably will never see anyone they meet ever again you are pretty much asking for a world of embarrassment.  As a result of this I'm pretty sure I won't be going to The Hob Nob again anytime soon, which is a shame because their breakfast menu is pretty amazing.

That's all I have for now...  Stay tuned for a New Years Resolution update.
