Hello 2009*

The first day of 2009 was spent running drunkenly around in the muddy abandoned parts of the Bergen St. subway station in my grandmother's floor-length vintage gown and a calf-length fur coat (also from my grandmother's estate) from the early 1920s. (I go urban spelunking in style, mofos!) Then I wrestled, subdued and eventually banished a hangover. Lots of college helmetball (aka gridiron) was watched, water and coffee and aspirin were consumed (as were fortifying sushi and bacon), books were read (finished Jennifer Morgue, started Fevre Dream).

I didn't even bother to leave the house (high was 22F/-5.5C or something stupid like that).

Today I will be getting a haircut (finally), shopping for food supplies, editing more of that shitty feature article I have to finish, and generally slothing it up.

*Official motto of 2009 is still TBD.
