Pinned Wishes

The visitors center at Times Square has a fun little project involving the collection of wishes on confetti, to be thrown into the air during New Year’s Eve celebrations. The messages spread a wide range, from the completely inane “Sex sex sex money and maybe a little more sex” to sweet messages like the one above.

There were ups. There were downs. The high points were very high though. For me, 2009 was a significant year of change.
Like any year, there were low points, but I choose not to dwell on them tonight. Instead, I’ll think about the high points.
My birthday present to myself was spending my first night in my new apartment. Had two housewarming parties. Met new people. Got caught in the rain repeatedly, and had no objections.
Learned that everything in life is only for now. Good or bad.
Much of the year is a blur of good food, good friends, frills, rain, and a general bemused haze of giddiness.
I leave you with a wish I made this morning on Facebook.. A Happy New Year to you all. Look not to the year that has past but to the year that is to come, and all the opportunities it brings with it!
Today is the karma rebalancing via a thousand little slights… All before the year end!

I’ve posted this one before, but its the right image for the season.
Simply put, I wish you all the best this holiday season. That simple right? A little bit of love for all of you today.
Rumbling right along the December rush. Both work and life are going to be fighting for my attention, and this week alone is going to be pretty busy..
Poker this past weekend was kind to me, rough to others. Any short-handed poker session that hands me three pocket Aces, two pocket kings, and other assorted prime cards is a good session – especially in comparison to the way I’ve BEEN trending recently. Came out making about 150% of my buy-in. Wrapping up at 6AM was fun, albiet tiring… Slept away sunday.
Anyway, not here to talk about that.
Saturday, 1/2/2010 – Daytime potluck party at my place. Bring something fun to eat, share with anyone else who comes by. I’ll make something as well, sho’nuff. Expect food, music, casual lounging, and frozen patio action during the day. XD
As for the evening, there are no specific plans. This way anyone who wants to brave the holiday weekend crowds to hit the city for a night on the town have the option of doing so.
No crash space folks, sorry but all available spots are already occupied!
More details to follow over the next few days, but ping me if you are interested. Let there be food….
Took a nice long weekend, something I haven’t done over Thanksgiving for a long while. Following the theory that if you weren’t there for it, you probably won’t find it interesting, I’ll sum up.
Late night trip to Chinatown, warm company, warm food, wild drunken turkey, bread pudding (yum), takoyaki, more cooking, Futurama, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Up, music videos, dresses & frills, pigs with hats, fresh baked cookies & milk, speed lines, kissing frogs, princesses, lazy mornings, and chocolate cups of tasty. Its a pretty blur.
There’s more but no need to get into it. Monday’s here now, its raining but I’m staying stress-free.
Photos another day.

So, how are all of you doing?
I’m doing pretty damned swell. Busy, stressing plenty at work, but all in all I am swell.
What are YOU up to lately? Talk to me people! What’s up?
(I had to post SOMETHING that wasn’t photo or camera related!)
Cripes anyone still buying or just plain collecting Laserdisc? I still have some american release anime on LD…
