bring on the dragons

I've heard from a couple of sources now the idea that "how you start your New Year is how the rest of your year will go."

I started my New Year's at work. Which actually sounds about right. I've set myself up to have a fairly arduous path for the next couple of years.

New Year's Day, however, was a lot of fun. I invited a bunch of people to come over to the house and fed everybody massive quantities of food and drink. Then we lay across the living room and watched cheesie movies. (Barbarella! Truly a classic of the bad soft-porn sci-fi genre.)

When midnight struck I was back at work.

So if the concept holds true, next year looks to be shaping up in much the way that I expected it to. Lots of labour sandwiching pleasant interludes of fun times with good companions.

And now it is January 2nd in my time zone. So I'm officially 40 now.

Heh. Still here. Still weird.

*makes the Dude sign*

a day like any other

Thank you to everybody who sent birthday wishes. I am amazed by the number of people who read my burblings.

I am going to email everybody about the birthday party, but because I am slow in getting the details settled, I'll post it here, February 22 at a club in Toronto. Quite possibly the The 360. The v_twins will be playing for sure, and whoever else I can talk into it.

If you want to come and I haven't talked to you directly about it yet, feel free to email me. I want everybody who can make it to come.

Things that I am going to do on my birthday;

• Get the Cangoth and BiNetCanada updates done.
  
  
• Clear all the brunch debris out of the dining room, living room and kitchen
  
  
• Do dishes.
  
  
• Eat chocolate
  
  
• Haul some more of the garbage bags out of the garage so I can put them out tomorrow.
  
  
• Dance naked.
  
  
• Clear out some of the recyclables in the house.
  
  
• Have a nice dinner of something pleasant, maybe with a glass of wine.
  
  
• Get laid.
  
  
• Email the agenda for the weekend's business meeting.
  
  
• Go to work.
  
  

I might even make a NY resolution the clear off my desk.
