Happy New Year

[itsallovernow]

M. and I rang in the new year at the Good Luck Bar on the edge of Silverlake, one of my favorite bars in LA. It was rainy and damp, and the interior of the bar is pure Chinese mafia meets urban hipster. M. suggested we go down to the docks and play mah jong ala Big Trouble in Little China. I laughed so hard that the Chinese Herbal Whiskey came out my nose.

Sadly, today, I ushered in the New Year with a blinding migraine that woke me up at 4 am and kept me on my ass for the rest of the day. I took enough drugs to fell a horse, and managed to drag myself to the car at 5 to take M. to work. Then I wandered Whole Foods in a daze and got Kombucha Mushroom tea with ginger, chocolate tapioca pudding, mushroom soup, cheese crackers and chocolate stout. The patterns didn't emerge until I got everything home.

I'm still moving gingerly at best, mad at the weather, at my body, at the martinis that didn't cause the migraine, but certainly gave it a pretty excuse to come calling. All of this is largely an apology to sugargroupie, who was my uncharted_elves recipient and who has yet to get my gift. I was gonna finish it today, but it just didn't happen! However, I do plan on finishing it tomorrow!
Which means I'll need a beta! Volunteers are highly appreciated.

I hope that 2006 proves to be a great year for everyone, and I hope that for myself, it's better than 2005. All in all, I know that my year was better than many people's, and for that I'm grateful. I hope for peace and calm, for joy and justice, for the people I know to get the things they deserve - the love, recognition, success and happiness, and for them all to know how much they mean to me and how much their love and support has done for me.

To everyone who sent me a holiday card, THANK YOU!! I was terrible about saying anything, but I got them all and adored them all!

Happy New Year Everyone!

Wow, I hope you feel better soon. And don't worry about it, the teaser is wonderful. My recipient hasn't even been around to receive her gift, so no worries.

Yeah!! It just kept getting longer and now I have to wrangle it into story form:)

I'm feeling human today, so odds are good:)

You have my best wishes for a prosperous, successful, creative, and less roller-coastery 2006.

Wishes a happy and healthy 2006 new year to you. If you need someone to beta, I happily offer my services, although I've never really beta'd for anyone before. There's always a first time.

Migraines are awful - feel better!
