New Year's
Jan. 3rd, 2004 08:58 pmI know I'm belated, but I wanted to wish everyone reading this a happy new year!
It's been my second 4 day weekend in a row, so I'm in denial that I'll have to go back to work on Monday and won't get any days off until I take some vacation days, which probably won't be until April. On the other hand, for the first time since my first year out of college, I didn't spending New Year's sad that I wasn't with college friends. I got to leave work early, so I went home and napped until Rogers called me to wake me up. We stopped by a party hosted by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
purplecamels and her roommate. I really only knew purplecamels and her boyfriend, albiziaman, so I chatted with them for a bit while Rogers communed with the apartment cat. He was in the midst of getting a cold, so was all dopey on drowsy cold medicine. I was worried he was going to fall asleep curled up with the cat, so we hopped to party #2, hosted by Logan (who I've barely met). There were lots of people I knew there, and I would have been content to hang out there for a while, save for the smoke. Since Rogers was sick, we didn't spend very long there before we hopped to party #3 (the final party of the evening), hosted by our game night friends, Bridget and Joe. There was a group of people who had already started playing "History of the World", which looked like an excessively complicated version of Risk. There were also a bunch of people playing Mario Car Double Dash, which looked like less of an intellectual challenge for our sleep-deprived, cold medicine hopped up minds. I only played for a little while -- car based video games actually make me feel sick to my stomach if I play them for any length of time -- but it was funny to watch. Midnight rolled around and we could see the top half of the downtown Minneapolis fireworks display through the window. Rogers and I smooched, had a few sips of champagne, then went home to go to bed.
( Thursday: black eyed peas and... The Prestezog's!!! )
Today Rogers and I went on a search for Glofish. We looked at Petsmart and Petco. Neither had them, and neither knew if/when they'd be getting them. Has anyone else local gone looking for them? If so, any luck?
I hope you have all had a good holiday season and NYE!
