Now I can finally dust off my I ♥ NEW KIDS coffee mug* and bring it, starting Monday, to my new place of employment, a magazinery in North York that's not too far from my home, my gym, and about 35 places to go for lunch.

Big thanks goes to all those who put up with me, entertained me, and watched America's Next Top Model** with me all throughout the most useless months of my life.

Now I ask myself, why wasn't I working on some kind of craft all this time? Where would all those macrame plant holders be now? Where, Stumblers?

Notes on the above:
* I ♥ NEW KIDS coffee mug: two years ago, in one of those eBay impulses I vowed never to repeat, I bought the following for $2:

-one (1) I ♥ NEW KIDS coffee mug
-one (1) New Kids iron-on patch from the Hangin' Tough tour (where to put it?)
-seven (7) New Kids on the Block stickers of individual band members
-one (1) set of New Kids on the Block Trading cards, including a Jonathan Knight card which states the following: "Jonathan lists health, happiness and peace as his biggest turn-ons. His biggest turn-offs: war, pollution and racism."

**America's Next Top Model: I only need one trashy, terrible, shameful reality show, and it's this one.
