bennymoto bits

So as everyone is defecting to the bliss that is a Wordpress blog, I thought that I'd try to chime in here a bit.

Okay so 2007 is almost over. Hitoshi wasn't around town and didn't write in much aside from the occasional rant. Eugene was off in Guelph land earning degrees and ultimating. Simo came back from the east coast to spend his time setting chef clothes on fire and remembering why he hates winter. I realized how easy it is to get totally absorbed in work, and not having much of a life outside of that.

It's the holiday season, and well, I'm going to be working. I get 3-1/2 days as normal stat days, but for the second year in a row I'll be working all the business days through Christmas and New Years. As that is, it's sort of hard to get into the holiday spirit. My only dose of the festivities this year has been some new cover of 'Last Christmas' they play on the radio.

At this time of year, everyone is talking about buying presents, spending time with family, big dinners, volunteering time and money... and I'm just too busy I feel like it's whizzing by!

That said, I've been really lucky this year. Most of my family is going to be together for a couple days and there are lots of opportunities to see lots of friends I haven't seen in a while. For some divine reason, everything has been falling in place, with each day something different happening with a different group of friends. I'm really looking forward to the holidays.

But despite all the social activity, it seems like fate that my New Years Eve is totally unbooked. As if I were destined to plan something for it. So the question comes, you guys want to ring in the new year with some Rock Band?
