2009! oh boy

I suppose the appropriate phrase here would be "Happy new year!"

So, here it goes.

Happy new year!

I haven't posted in a while. Because it's so extremely important, here's a rundown of my entire week so far, best I can remember.

Monday: Worked. From five to nine.

Tuesday: Spent the day with Rachel at my house. We mostly just hung around and watched TV. This would have been a pretty blah day, except I was with the person with whom I am in love. That has a way of making everything good.

Wednesday: Worked. Then we had New Years. We were going to meet up with our friend Ashley (she was in Rachel's class, she now attends a university which I am again forgetting the name of =P) and knew we wanted to go out somewhere. The three of us aren't exactly down on the whole Reading party scene (bump, da-bump DA bump, da-bump DA bump) so we decided to go up to the Pagoda. Mount Penn is the pint-size mountain range lining one side of our fair city. On top of it sits the Pagoda, Reading's symbol as of the last twenty years or so. It's a random piece of Asian architecture, originally a failed bed and breakfast, I believe. Anyway, every new year's they do fireworks near it for the city to watch, so we hung out right where the action was. It was a nice local shin-dig, the radio station was there, the mayor popped in at the end. It was extremely, extremely cold, but other than that the three of us had a very good time.

I will never ever in my life stop being amazed at the way sound works, and the way we perceive it. The boom of the fireworks echoed off the city, creating this tremendous roar that sounded like it was coming from everywhere at once.

Today I was at Rachel's house. We watched more TV, specifically the Twilight Zone. I love that show.

I have to wash the dishes tonight, and work on a song I have to do for this thing. Maybe I'll explain more about it later.

That's all for now.

P.S. My sole new year's resolution is to post in this blog. Every day or almost every day. That should be fun.
