New Years and Absurdistan

Up in the country right now with Sarah; we'd invited others for a little New Year's Eve party but everyone bailed, which is just as well because we're both enjoying the total chill-out time. Yesterday we watched two movies (LA Confidential and Mr. Brooks.) The former is, of course, a classic and the latter was surprising good -- completely implausible, but scary and thrilling. So for tonight? I'm cooking a corned beef and chilling some champagne. Should be sweet!
