Celebratory War-Whoop: We Will Not Be Homeless + Drinky Drinky

[xraytheenforcer]

Thank you, all who crossed fingers, toes, nostril hairs ("but whatever you do, don't cross the streams!") for the housing biz. We got approved for the apartment! Move in date: July 1. Yep, cuttin' that bad mutha closecloseclose. But at least we are still in our neighborhood (so I can give my money to the proprietors I like -- cheese shop, wine shop, nifty indie clothing boutique) and near the subway. In all, a fab outcome. Next up, giving Ikea my money, because the one thing this place lacks is ample closet space.

A Celebration Libation

Classic Champagne Cocktail
sugar cube
bitters (Angostura or Peychauds)
brut champagne

place sugar cube into champagne glass. soak sugar with bitters (couple of dashes). top off with champagne. toast your good fortune and kiss the ones you love.

A new apartment! Listening to a Rush song! I'll celebrate that!!

[xraytheenforcer.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Doug's not around to bitch about Neil Peart. :p

[yagathai.livejournal.com]

Why would anyone bitch about Neal Peart? Next thing you're going to tell me is that he doesn't like Geddy Lee's nasalizations.

[bassmike.livejournal.com]

That's blasphemy! Geddy Lee is God.

Yay! Well done!

Glug those cocktails. :)

[xraytheenforcer.livejournal.com]

We shall! And we'll hoist one to you, too. (Exams done, and all that.)

Awesome!!

[xraytheenforcer.livejournal.com]

and congrats to you, too, homeownah!

Whooppee! This calls for a celebration! *toasts with something-of-which-the-contents-shall-not-be-divulged-as-they-include-vodka*
Have a great one. :-)

(Ikea? Holy Eurocommie supporter, Batman! :-P)

[xraytheenforcer.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Vodka is acceptable, under these circumstances.
(I also pronounce it "ee-kay-ah," just to cement my Eurocommie-ness. Hey, I learned about Ikea from Swedes and Germans. Their pronuncation stuck.)

[xraytheenforcer.livejournal.com]

Ha. Well, it's better than "Red Barchetta" at any rate. Hope you're settling into your new digs, yes?

[bassmike.livejournal.com]

Never challenge a Rush fan, when Red Barchetta is on the line!

[xraytheenforcer.livejournal.com]

Winner!

[tara62.livejournal.com]

Great news!

[xraytheenforcer.livejournal.com]

thank you. and we got our own weird-looking grey tabby to fill out the fun.

[rockstarwookie.livejournal.com]

YAY! Congrats!
Dont let moving stress you. Enjoy it instead.

True Story: last time I moved, I discovered an envelope and for some reason looked inside. I found a paycheck of mine from about 2 months before! How absent minded am I?
I realised that your paycheck has to be the best thing that you can find that you've misplaced.

Congrats :)

[xraytheenforcer.livejournal.com]

Now *that's* a great story. That should be your council name: The Absent-Minded Wookiee. :p

[icemannorth.livejournal.com]

Congrats!

At least this gives you the chance to move stuff, and thus keep your mind off the heat. ;)

[xraytheenforcer.livejournal.com]
