I’ve noticed that after the New Year starts, a lot of people seem compelled to post the (often) huge and (sometimes) poignant and (mostly) incredibly annoying inspiring retrospectives of all of the fabulous things they’ve accomplished in 2003.

I am here to tell you: I won’t be doing that.

Considering I am spending yet another winter in a most ghetto-fabulous fashion , heating my apartment with the oven, we can pretty much deduce: all remains the same here at annfrankenstein HQ.

So, I give you some anti-highlights of ’03.

1. There have been sins. Lots of them.

That about covers it.

Oh, and once in ’03, I had to use a couple of coffee filters as toilet paper.

Look, there was lots of beer, there was desperation, and there were absolutely no other paper products in the house, people.

No Kleenex ®, not paper towel to be found.

The only thing left was the debate: coffee filters V. those little subscription cards that fall out of magazines.

I did what I had to do.

I will not be shamed.

And you know, I have never been really goal oriented, but in case you are wondering what’s up for a-f resolutions in the New Year, I can only tell you my personal goal for ’04 remains the same: stop using sex as a weapon.

And maybe start remembering to buy a few essentials in bulk.

Happy ’04 one and all,

xox
