Happy New Year
posted on january 2, 2005, tag: me
Well, here we are in 2005. As mentioned a few weeks ago, I have pretty much been away from my computer since Christmas Eve when we went to my mother's house. We spent the night there and spent Christmas day opening gifts and eating eggs benedict (a tradition). You can find my pictures from Christmas day on Flickr.
I had last week off and I spent most of it watching movies, staying up late and finally playing Half-Life 2. What an amazing game. I knew it would be good, but I didn't know it could be that good. Half-Life is still one of favourite games of all time and HL2 is already up there and I haven't even finished it yet.
When Shawn got back from Connecticut we took a trip to Home Depot and got some work lights to use for filming. They were surprisingly cheap but quite similar to the kind of lights we used in college. They should at least help us to better light future films (since the other three were mostly natural light and/or pointing my IKEA halogen lights in the living room). You can check out some photos from the day we got the lights at Flickr.
Then on New Year's Eve we had a little party at Katia's parents' house in New Jersey. Shawn, Steve, Ellie and friends from high school Greta and Paige all came over and we hung out until about 4AM. We played a little poker, ate tons of food and celebrated the new year. It was a very fun night. You can find my pictures from New Year's Eve on Flickr as well. Ellie also took pictures so I'm sure she'll have some online in the near future. Update: Ellie has put her photos online.
All in all it was a great 10 days. I didn't get nearly as many of the things accomplished that I had hoped to, but I'll get back on track once I'm back to a normal schedule. I have plenty of stuff lined up for this site as well as a brand-new project nearly ready for prime-time and tons of other stuff waiting to be finished. The week of rest was good and now it's time to get back to work.
How were your holidays?

Hahaha ok well I'm glad you edited out what, I'm sure were some seriously horrendous pictures of me but I have to ask...what the hell am I lookin' at in that one picture?? My best guess is that I had definitely, at the point had enough vodka and champagne or that I was flipping my hair out of my face.
Either way, thanks for making me look like a weirdo. Jerk.
And I still the love the bracelet and earrings, by the way I've worn them a few times on the cruise already.
Hopefully I'll see you two crazy kids sometime before I graduate in May!
