As my sister so elegantly pointed out... I am indeed in need of a hat in my last post. Otherwise, how would you know I was celebrating New Year's in Madison.

2006 will be my Year
Actually, probably not. But we always try. "This will be the year that I..."
Fill in the blank with just about any idle threat to improve your body, mind or soul. I guess my only real resolution will be to quite my nasty habit of smoking, for health and financial reasons. Don't worry, I still support everyone's right to smoke if they chose.
HAPPY NEW YEAR's DAY!!!
New year's eve has essentially been a bust most my entire life. Either no party or a horrible party. My best experience is probably the New Year's eve I brought in with a group of complete unknown's--joined by my temporary Best Friend Lauren Kerr. (I say temp b/c we were close as long as it was convienent, and we both knew that)
New year's eve in Madison is no exception. It's horrible. The Mid-West is a sink hole for holidays. They just don't celebrate them like would like to see. Except for 4th of July, they celebrate that proper. The Mid-West isn't the first to see the American New year--the glorious apple NYC is. Everyone knows the Ball Dropping moment, which always comes 1hr eary for us in the Mid-West. I enjoyed this eve with my girlfriend and her sister, but we might as well have been out any other night of the week. As I recall the people in the bar hollered more for the east coast than for their own mid-west.
Still I enjoyed my time out. I barely go to the bars anymore. As Lewis Black says on "The White Album"... "How do you guys know when its New Year's out here, 'Oh, well, New Years is when we drink with HATS on!'"

Lazy Days
I can remember exactly when I had some spare time. Last November, three days before Thanksgiving. Ah, the memories.
Today, I have about 3hrs of down-time, and so, I write to you--my fellow Bloggers. I bring you news of a great T-day and a Merry X-mas. I have come to grips with my aggravating projects as a graduate student and nobody has gotten injured along the way. Life is good.

On other mentionable notes, one of my X-mas gifts was a cook book from my sister. Not an ordinary cook book. This book (http://www.altonbrown.com/pages/bookit.html) describes the principles of cooking and how they actually work in a scientific approach. LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT! I'm not a particularly horrible cook, I follow recipes well and have a few specialties. However, I usually lack the ingredients and Lord help me if the recipe says "chop" or "dice" because I'm not quite sure what the difference is.
This book gave me an approachable go between to learn. Maybe my Hamburger Helper days will be over before I know it. Although, I can always rely on my beautiful girlfriend and her exquisite Korean cuisine ;-)
