Merry Christmas and stuff

Well, I just found myself nearly sobbing at the end of Elf, when Zooey Deschanel sings “Santa Claus is Coming to Town”, thus saving Christmas by increasing Christmas Spirit enough to power the Clausometer that makes Santa’s sleigh fly. Yeah, I know.

I have to admit I’m a little bummed this year. I think this is the first time that I’ve been away from home for Christmas, at least without my family and friends. I’m certainly glad I have Alberto and the cats, otherwise it’d REALLY suck. Alberto got us tickets to see the Pogues at the 930 Club in March… how fucking cool is that? I’m so psyched! The more I think about being in the same room as Shane Macgowan, the more giddy I get. :)

Anyway, I wanted to wish everyone a Merry XMAS and all that jazz..

The Going Away Party Picture Post

Thanks to all of you so much for coming out. Even if you didn’t make it to the party Friday night, you should know that you are all the reason I’ve hemmed, hawed and fretted over moving since the flood. It’s been a really difficult decision but I’m looking forward to getting away for an undermined period of time.
Now, some highlights: There’s more at my Flickr Page
