Old to the New

My Housewarming Party was what I would term "the note." I find use it as a more dignified version of "the Mad Note;" It makes me sound older and more sophisticated although it is perilously close to "the slope." The old year ended with Lbo and I frantically trying to piece the place together before anyone could arrive. Unfortunately for us one our invisible shelves exploded before our visitors arrived (Perhaps that was actually fortunate). When we tried to remove the bracket that still hung dangerously on the wall we realized that the screw was stripped. I had to act quickly and hopped over to the HomeDepot where I purchased my first Dremel, which made quick work of the screw. I sawed through the phillips head and made it into a flat head. Exciting!!!

The party had everything: great people, mediocre food and tons of alcohol. There was even dancing but I won't write any further about that. We sent the old year off with some Brugal. I later found out that it is rated internationally the best rum in the world. After the first shot I was sold on it's rating but at that point I would have also bought land in Florida. I insisted on watching the countdown on Univision, the station that brings you "Sabado Gigante!," however everyone else felt it was a terrible idea. Instead they chose to watch Dick Clark as he fumbled through the countdown.

Wonder Twins

No you cannot get it off Craig's List, nor would you want to. The Wonder twins are some guys we hired to do work for us but didn't actually know their names. At one point we thought they both had the same name; they didn't look alike at all. The last part is that we found that the work was not the best, in fact we still have a broken time from the work done in the kitchen. Makes you wonder why more things that they did haven't broken or spontaneously combusted...yet. That's all I have to say about that.

"Crap I got off Craig's List."

The entire apartment is like a who's who (or maybe a what's what) of Craig's List. There is at least two items on each floor from Craig's List. I found that the magic price for all items no matter the original cost or the size is an even $50. If someone can walk away with fifty they feel as if the transaction was totally worth it. I think fifty dollars has become the new twenty dollars as the most accepted currency. That was a made up "fact" but sounds like it could be true, which is good enough for me. Does anyone even forge 20s anymore? How much will that do for you?

If anyone knows where I can get a pot rack for $50 or less it would be appreciated.
