it's never too late to be thankful, right?

by the light of patsy's shining example, i have compiled a list of the things for which i am thankful. and to those of you who say, "thanksgiving was last week, bitch," i'd be very thankful if you'd kiss my ass. here goes:

this year, i am particularly thankful for:

my team of lovable sidekicks, including, but not limited to, my wife (the most stable relationship i've ever had), patsy, maggie and the rest of the happy hour mafia

my perpetually chipper doormen, especially joe, whom i overheard telling aric that he thinks i look like catherine zeta-jones. aric disagreed. i like him anyway.

the fake wall that allows me to be naked in my room and not in the living room

songs with which i have happy associations, such as "new york city" (by tmbg), "hey julie" (by fountains of wayne), and the golden girls theme song

a very well-stocked kitchen and our surprising culinary skills

the extreme geographic displacement between me and most of my exes

all forms of edible raw fish, and wasabi

the concerned, lawsuit-averse management of kemia bar

a job that allows me to spend several hours a day blogging

you, my loyal readers. without you, i wouldn't have already made a cool 91 cents from my fabulous ad revenue. (feel free to click those, by the way. maybe i can eventually make this my full-time job...)
