I'm Not Going to Drink for a Month

This is not an April fool. I wish it were.

I'm pretty sure I've been drinking every night since the Fark party. I know I've definitely had drinks every night in the last two weeks. Overall, I had a lot of fun last month, but the alcohol consumption is just getting stupid. And I'm getting fat. So thanks, everyone, for the advance support. I hope that if I tell enough people, I'll feel accountable enough to ensure an alcohol-free April.

In other news, my April Fools Day was weird:
-I listened to Kruder & Dorfmeister and reread one of my favorite books, Cat's Cradle. (LGT the partial text of my favorite chapter)
-My best friend here said she was moving back to Austin, which is so plausible it actually fooled me.
-I got Rickrolled like 40 times.
-I tried to perform a social activity in Redmond (in this case, lunch) without acknowledging the squeaky suburban awkwardness that surrounded me. Oops.
-I got a voicemail from someone with a Jamaican accent and an Alaskan phone number.
-There's a new person on our team at work and he's sharing a cube with someone else on our team; I am very worried that this will set an uncomfortable precedent.
-I tried to perform a functional activity in Issaquah (in this case, grocery shopping) without acknowledging the squeaky suburban awkwardness that surrounded me. Oops again.
-Serious cat is very serious.
