I don't like to fuss about Christmas gifts online, it seems tacky, but I'm really excited about the
Aeropress I got. It's a little like a French press. It's kind of fun to experiment and fuss over coffee, which is part of why I enjoyed brewing tea... the ritual is part of the pleasure.
I have never really been satisfied with New Year's Eve. With all the hype... I feel like if you don't spend New Year's Eve having anonymous sex in Times Square while high on cocaine, it's going to end up falling short of expectations. I think I'm going to advocate late dinner parties for NYE next year. Change the expectations. Halloween is my "party" holiday.
I don't really have resolutions because anything I'd do would be "I will spend more time ______." If I'm not doing ______ as much as I'd like, there's a reason, and frankly there are too many ______s in my life. I need to resolve to STOP doing things before I can resolve to ______ more. But my life is so happy so often, I kind of don't want to screw with it. I mean, yeah, if I was keeping a scorecard for my life, I guess I'd give myself more points if I would exercise or read or do magic more, but I don't think I'm going to be on my deathbed all like "I wish I had more points," I think I'll just want to have been happy as much as possible. Actually, I'll probably just be pissed off because I'm on my deathbed, which sucks. We'll see, I guess.
I mean, maybe I'll wish I scored more often, but I'm getting a bit old to think like that. *rimshot*
