Toaster-a thing with a meaning

ha, i'm yawning and my cloth smell like smoke and red wine. but i won a toaster-slash-coffeemaker-slash-oven. that makes me not only a better prepared person but also establishes my position as well equipped rookie on the merriage market. ha! i 'm gonna get send off to some widowed chinese that has 6 children, the girls with little pigtails and the boys with too short pants. And i will make grilled cheese sandwiches, coffee, and cakes everyday, all day long.
that's about where my imagination takes me, while i'm sitting in front of my computer, trying to look busy, but simply mending my condition posting entries. alex and i look like shit right now. i don't know about him, but i m having a little tickle in my lips from the abundance of chinese rice wine, red wine and vodka that we were obligated to drink.
yesterday was the new years party of dmg and the chance for everybody to get as pissed as possible. they rented out the chinese restaurant where alex had enjoyed his favorite dish of porkfat with bbq-sauce before, and we were having dinner, got entertainment and were playing drinking games. yes, thats about what you do at such events. eat and drink yourself to delirium. and that's probably why you eat before in the first place, so you don't die.
so, i had a good start, since alex and i proofed before that being german mainly means you can drink more then the chinese, i was called to the stage to performe and express this particular german trait. i was competing in a who-drinks-the-beer-the-fastest-contest. the funny thing was that we had to do it with straws. mmmhhh.....i won anyway. i basically beat the pants off them. i don't know if the victory is good or bad for my reputation. we'll find out.
but i got a starbucks thermo mug, so thats's cool.
after they started eating, we got to the lucky draw. basically they couldn't pronounce my name when they pulled it out of the box, so after 2 min of struggling i was on stage again and was handed THE most wonderful multi-genius-electronic thing. the toaster-slash-coffeemaker-slash-oven. i was supposed to drink a full water glass of chinese vodka, but seriously, i would have puked on their feet if they would have made me do it. so, roger, from the account took a stand and exxed it right down. god guys, seriously dieses zeug ist zum kotzen.
sebastian was also forced to ex one, but as he said, 'it just came right back out'.
haha, so as u can imagine the whole thing was great fun, everybody was still having a great time when it was time to jog with wine.
after, alex and i had jogged even with the drivers and cleaningladies at their back table, the mood started to shift. as dan put it, 'the grass-in-the-wind stadium' was now over and the grass about to break. so, the first made their way home. others couldn't really.
alex, sebastian and i plus another 10 guys from dmg+plus dan and peter (heads of dmg) were actually the last ones standing. dancing to chinese covers of electronic sommerhits, we were ready to go and change locations. so, the evening eventually ended after a few more hours and a few more drinks. and this time I ended up with a girl in my place. yeah, figure that out. =)
but it had obviously been more that just drinking, attending this event was very cool for both, alex and me. it was great to see, how everybody had a wonderful time, to see the videos and making-ofs of commercials and events that dmg had produced last year and just to have such nice people around u. and, of course i got the toaster-slash-coffeemaker-slash-oven. so, here is a reason to be happy.


did i mention, i forgot to take my toaster-slash-coffeemaker-slash-oven when i left the restaurant?
