'07 is here..

... and i welcome it with open arms. i love new things, cause new things mean change. i don't really have anything in mind for this next year, but i just know its going to be different. :)

last night i went to the fischers for a NYE party. it was quite a splendid time. there was lots of family there, my family, SF's family, and PFs family. we drank and were merry, and em even caught a few winks. sometimes when emily reaches maximum capacity of fun she passes out.

tomorrow the dogs go home. i'll be sad, i love having to watch them like a hawk to make sure they are not eating antique bears, or computer cords or just running full speed through the storm door out into the front yard. but it will be nice to have my desk back.

so i finished "a long way down" by nick hornby. it was a pretty compelling read. there were 4 main characters and the whole book was told alternating from each of their points of view. the commonality all these characters had was they were all going to kill themselves. there was a moment of clarity that the youngest member of this suicide gang had, it was along the lines of everyone being connected to someone else as if by a rope. that was how she explained why none of them could actually kill themselves. makes you think about who you're connected to..

i watched a bunch of movies this weekend. fast times at ridgemeont high. i don't really see why this film is such a classic. it wasn't even that funny, and i couldn't really stand sean penn. i saw what's eating gilbert grape. leo dicaprio was pretty spectacular, i see why he was nominated for this. then i saw intolerable cruelty. eh.

tomorrow i go in for my first acupuncture visit. i can't wait. i'll be sure to write all about it.
