Finished. Finis. Completed. Cashing it in. Done. Over. Fat lady (hey, watch it...) singing. No mas. Tapped out. Breathing. Ahhhhh........
Yes. Lest I be killed in a freak buggy accident while trying to get out of Pennsylvania Dutch country, I'd like to note that I have posted every single day in this so-designated National Blog Posting Month of November.
I don't feel any smarter, really, and I'd wager you wouldn't either, if you read back over the 30-odd posts that comprise this effort. But dammit, I can still meet a goal, and since no one will play word games with me anymore (bastards!) I apparently need some kind of competitive outlet. And now that I've done that, let's get down to those brass tacks, (and the dreadful image that phrase always creates in my head...much like "a day late and a dollar short," which is quite a sucky thing to be, I think.) The brass tacks of December may or may not include the divulging of interesting ideas and activities, so allow me to build suspense over that which may amount to absolutely nothing.
Or maybe I'll just copy and paste quotes from The Office to get me through 'til the new year. I just never know where my day will take me.
Where this one is taking me is on to December, the month containing a birthday that will include minimal focus on digits but only, possibly, cake, (and oh yes, NYC!) and in which I might post every day but might not...as I return to that delicious ambiguity which so defines my life. And also a month in which I hope to be forced to hear Mariah Carey's delightful (really, I love it) "All I Want for Christmas Is You" and also Elton's "Step Into Christmas" while shopping in return for every time I have to hear another holiday tune that I loathe and despise. And on that note, tune in tomorrow to learn just how many times Jose Feliciano wants to wish YOU a merry Christmas...or count it yourself if you're obsessive-compulsive like I am. It definitely wasn't as many times as I thought it would be. I don't feel that he adequately conveyed the sentiment now.
As I say (poorly) in Spanglish, Feliz Thursday - and December. Almost another year. Can you believe it?
Congratulations for making it! :)
Cheers.
