... And Good Riddance

[filkertom]

It's nearly a wrap on 2009, and, without getting into details, I think we can all agree it wasn't exactly what we hoped for. Here's hoping 2010 is at the least a bit easier for us all to get through.

There is a splendid party tonight, put on every year by dear friends I don't see enough of. There is Anne's invitation to come out and watch silly videos and then go tomorrow to see Sherlock Holmes. I will likely indulge in neither, as I'm getting a cold -- nothing dire, just a couple days of mildly sore throat and now stopped-up sinuses. Murfle. Fortunately, I have orange juice and roasted garlic soup and chips and salsa and Robitussin.

I no longer bother with New Year's Resolutions. They're so easy to break, and then you feel as if you've failed, and you get depressed and don't get back to 'em. I have a couple of goals: Herbert West and Girl Genius. And about a dozen more songs for Sounds Familiar. And the revised Big Book of Stupid Filk Tricks. Those would be really nice.

What are you doing tonight, if anything? And what goals do you have for the new year, if any?

Taking my sweetie out for dinner close by so we don't run into any drunks on the road. No resolutions, though. I don't need a time of year to decide to improve myself, it's an ongoing process.

Happy New Year to you, and do go see Sherlock Holmes when you're feeling up to it, it's a lot of fun.
