this year i’m throwing a new year’s eve party at my place. presumably there will be some drunken fun as well as some potsticker making. i’m hoping that the potstickers will be made before the drunkeness starts.

i personally like more laid back new year’s celebrations. i don’t really like going out, and i’d be perfectly happy home alone quietly celebrating the new year’s passing. i think that i used to enjoy the idea of going out to big celebrations, but these days i find that i’m more hermit like. nothing to the likes of my sacramento days, but definitely less social these days.

but i’m looking forward to this new year’s eve party. i think it will be lots of fun. nothing too crazy, though there’s enough alcohol at my place that i fear that a spark would set the whole place aflame.

as is my usual tradition, the new year’s eve party is funded (at least in part) by all of my spare change that i’ve accumulated over the year. i went to a coinstar machine today and it gave me $200.85 for the change i’ve saved up this year. not too shabby. it funded my costco run which consisted of most of the alcohol for the evening. i plan to make a run to safeway and ranch 99 tomorrow to get the rest of the food stuffs. i hope they are open, otherwise we won’t be eating potstickers for dinner.

i hope all of you have a happy and safe new year’s.
