Hello New Year!!

in case i do not see or speak with you before December 31st, MERRY NEW YEAR!!

new years is my favorite holiday (with thanksgiving close behind). i don't know why... maybe its the excessive drinking, or the carefree celebration, or the idea of a new start. wherever you happen to be, i hope you get to celebrate with a loved one and lots and lots of champagne. peace, joy, and daisies, as always, but especially in the new year. ^_^

Happy Christmas!!

too tired to articulate specific things. most important to share:

gifts = awesimo!

mokroopal xmas party = wicked! (see above)

drunk big kahuna = high-larious

soon, new year's shall be upon us. my favorite holiday!

Um...

This was kaylah's idea.

return to normalcy

first of all: jack + birthday drinking = omgwtfpwned

vacation has started off well. the flight home was long, but the time passed pleasantly with my excellent flying partner. i didnt get KB on the first night back, but there was a buy one get one free coupon for next time, as well as in n out, which served as an excellent substitute.

mmmmmm, curry house for lunch on friday, and then KB for dinner. some excrutiatingly exhausting shopping in between. i had to resist many things in the store, plz be proud. =)

there was LOTS of good ass food at jack's party. we all potlucked, and so, there was plenty of KB, steak, bbq ribs... yum! not to be outdone, there was also plenty of booze. jack yakked... but i did too, so i'm not going to give him a hard time about it. good times.

spa day was faboooooooooooooolous. even my hangover couldn't ruin the day. it was so relaxing that i actually fell asleep on the table. sigh... so lovely, but so extravagant. rodel valets at the hyatt now. it was fun seeing him afterwards. he opened and closed our doors and kressler tipped him 3 bucks.

today, i did a whole lotta nothing. but the nothing was grand! i'm waiting for everyone so that we can eat JB. i think i've already gained one or two pounds since coming back. no worries, some of my pants were getting too loose. =D

strangely, i kind of miss boston this time around. all the other times i've been home, i've never experienced this feeling before. i guess i'm starting to get used to it over there. home away from home.

as always, good to be amongst the so cali boys and girls. more adventures will be had in the coming weeks. the return to normalcy has begun.

happy dance!!!

hurts when i cough

kaylah visited me during my birthday, but she was only here for two days. i missed her as soon as she left. i was going to go with her to the airport, but then got a bit too drunk at my birthday festivities to actually carry out that plan. i don't remember much after my peach bellini, save for a strange/silly credit card fiasco that luckily, kaylah saved me from.

'twas my first birthday and thanksgiving away from home, but i survived it quite well. the pangs were alleviated by homemade thanksgiving turkey, as well as uber-excellent birthday dinner/drinks with the boston boys and girls.

i made pho!:


disbelievers and naysayers, ha!


yesterday, i went snowboarding in Killington, Vermont. as indincative of this photo, i spent most of my time on my ass. verra sore am i currently, but it was an excellent time.

ten days left! 'till then, peace, joy and daisies. ^_^
