accomplishments...(a post a long time coming)

so many accomplishments that have occurred that i have been lax in posting--but in my defense--it's just been an extremely busy time!

1. BARACK OBAMA IS PRESIDENT-ELECT. i know. very late in coming--but better late than never right?

2. BARACK OBAMA IS PRESIDENT-ELECT. there. now if i mention it twice it won't matter that i was late with this incredibly wonderful news.

3. i survived the boston veggie food fest intact. but very barely. people are CRAZY. they need a way larger venue. crowded bodies moving at glacial paces is NOT my thing. halloween was rad. i would have loved more time to do my makeup but--well--maybe it looked sufficiently scary. not to mention i had to improvise with whatever i had--because i refused (more like forgot and didn't have time) to purchase the needed items. on my way back from boston--while i was waiting in the train station in back bay--there were pigeons in the building. i thought it was rather crazy random.

introducing 3 tom's and a housemate: caribou barbie, leprechaun, ghost, and skunk.


4. i cleaned up the ENTIRE apartment this weekend. i swiffered and mopped the entire apartment, rearranged my room (my office is now in the livingroom instead of my bedroom), i did laundry, cleaned the bathroom--i even scrubbed the grout in the shower. that's how insane i got.

5. i finished figuring out all the major paperwork/math for the accounts that showed up for expo. that--was a huge process. and i'm glad that at 12am last night (or rather this morning) i finished the task.

6. i purchased my gps. i'm in love. i really think that i could follow it wherever it led me.

7. i signed up for an ez-pass account--which is a very long time coming! for those west coasters--there are tolls EVERYWHERE in the east coast. EVERYWHERE. an ez-pass is a tag that gets scanned at the tolls so that you don't have to have cash whenever you drive somewhere. i figured it was high time now that i have "dirty jersey." i just hope it comes before next week--that's when i first head out to jersey.

8. election night was INCREDIBLE. i'm glad i took the day after off--even though, creature of habit that i am--i still woke up at 8am and couldn't get back to sleep. although i do notice that if i drink the night before--i wake up early.

9. i think there are alot more accomplishments to be posted--but i can't remember all of them at this point. i just know that i have been very busy--and i feel like i have accomplished ALOT.

accomplishments to come:

1. i need to purchase an ac charger for my gps. i just have the car charger one that came with it. i didn't think about the whole "when it leaves the car" part.

2. a small tv stand/storage of some sort of furniture. since i removed my desk from my room and made the livingroom my office--i need something to put my tv on. plus then i can put some other things away that are still in boxes.

3. a nail driller machine gun thing. you know--it screws nails in things for you. that thing. i realized that trying to pound in nails into the walls with a wooden pestle just isn't working as well as it use to. you can take the ethnic lao out of laos--but you can't take the lao out of them? i bungled that. oh well.

4. purchase a winter coat from patagonia. i purchased a peacoat already--but winter in nyc gets much colder than that can handle--so at some point soon--i figure in the weeks to come--i better get with it.

that's it folks. BARACK OBAMA!!!!
