happy jamtastic january did you have a jamboree?

hello everyone.

well as you can tell by the title i have created a holiday in order to get all of my friends and colleagues through the rough month of january. so i created a holiday dedicated to us reaching the "hump" of january and everything being "easy peasy" as jean says for the rest of the month.

so the party involved potato latkes (check out the amy sedaris column "ask amy" in last february 06 about the israel vs. palestine situation and potato latkes) so potato latkes (not too dry :) and then a vegan chocolate cake with jam layers. so i had about 4 of my frields and a coworker over for this special holiday and i made a great sign out of old file folders from work to hang on the door. it was a great night where "downer dave" aka steve hung out in the flat but was not invited to the party. hopefully he gets the message that he is not such a happy person, or not to refuse the offer to do something so many times. so we had a great time everyone caught the last buses home and there was good food, good conversation and lots and lots of laughing:)

then on wednesday i brough the left over 2/3 of cake (aka 4 layers of jamtastic vegan chocolate cake)to work where it was demolished by the 15 people who are working on my floor. i even brought the sign in. because when we move to the new building next week there will be no cake parties:(

the new building is looking pretty depressing from the tour i had on tuesday so i am not looking forward to it, but who know i might be surprised. oh well, it's not like it's my life job:) so i keep going and doing stuff and getting my pat pat pat on the head and then go home and don't think about it, to return the next day and do my little projects.

so tonight i am going to the french film "i saw ben barka get killed" i'm hoping it to be good some historical fact some drama some conspiracy theory...hmmmmmmm, or was it miss scarlet with the revolver in the conservatory with the rope?

and that's about it for now, sounds like there will be a veg sushi party on sunday at chantel's, we will see what's in the cards...speaking of cards i played poker for the first time in ages on saturday, good stuff i had a nice time and caught the last bus home at 11:30 pm, i didn't win but i did very well, i had to forfeit my chips as i had to go catch my bus:( oh well, hope you are all healthy wealthy and wise. LOL.

xoxo,
