a beautiful day

it's the first of january of 2011 and another year has begun. i rang in the new year at my friend chris' place uptown but managed to take off some time to check out the fireworks that started at midnight.

Usually, the fireworks are a small affair and the mood uptown is just slightly better than sombre but due to the fantastic weather (+8 degrees)everything was just happening.



after the fireworks, i went back over to sydney street, had another glass of wine and proceeded to hop into the hot tub at around 3:30am. by 5:00am i was dry, dressed, and getting into the cab to take me home.

earlier in the day i hopped on the bike and pedaled over to my grandmothers. on my way over i ran into my friend mike and stopped into his place for a chat and a glass of water. it took me roughly 25 minutes to get to my grandma's place (one-way).

by the time i got home, it was starting to cool down significantly. then i hopped in the car and headed to gramma's place for the new years day special of ham and boiled dinner. sadly there was no cabbage (i've been looking forward to it since i got back here but have yet to try some).


we ended the evening playing bullshit and having a few laughs.
