He's the king of the night!

27 Aug

I turned 28 recently, but 27 was a pretty good year for me. Not that I’m sad to see it go– I won’t be satisfied ’til I’m finally old enough to yell at little kids to get off my damn lawn and have them run screaming. But all things considered, I’m okay with where I am.

So I wanted to show off my new mascot, a birthday gift from my parents:

He’s called Van Tango, because I can’t have a good long look at him without singing that song. (Franz Ferdinand! Come on, great vampire music!) Yeah, he’s pretty rad. How could I not be inspired in my 28th year with him sitting on my (unbearably messy, yes, I know– that means I’m working hard, dammit!) desk?

Hey, Van Tango has a mean old scene.

    If you’re gonna have a mascot – that is the perfect one for you to have.

    May #28 be full of inspiration and acceptance letters!

    Here’s to an inspired 29th year on Planet Katey!

    Is that the new Verve album you’re playing or just the single? I d/l’ed the album last night and looking forward to listening to it a few times today. Welcome back, boys!

    Thanks guys! Van Tango cannot fail me, I’m sure if it!

    And Mike, yes, new album! It came out ON my birthday here, so I was a giddy mess of “I grew up in the 90s” rock fangirl nonsense for a few minutes when I found out. I got to see them a few months back in NYC when my friend Reenie got tickets and… man. They’re SO back. Tell me what you think of it when you get through it a few times.

    Van Tango is awesome. Cool birthday trinket.
