its a new year

i can't believe
 i didnt write
 a
 post yesterday
 (wednesday)
 for today
 (thursday)
 new year's day

 wow
 slacking off already
 only one blog to maintain
 and 
no post

 yesterday
 last year
 was
 sunny bright and cold
 i did some errands 
braved fairway
 got provisions
 for 
the long weekend ahead 

treated
 myself
 to
 a caramel brûlée latte at starbucks 
no whipped creme 
please thank you

 i know
 going for a 400 calorie drink
 skipping the whipped creme
what a wus

 at least
 i didnt get it 
with 
soy or skim 

i know
 whats up
 with
 people who order 
high calorie coffee drinks
being
 sanctimonious 
using
healthy stuff 
like 
soy or skim

 when i dont trust spell check
 i c/p the word into google
 who is nice enough to ask
 dont you mean
 yup 
i did
 one 'a' but two 'i's' 
thanks

 isn't it nice to see
 staying up late 
over eating for over a week
 drinking some not very good champagne
 hasn't
 stopped
 me 
from
 leaping
 from 
thought to thought

 toonman
 watched 
a lot of football 
a lot of football

 i mostly played
 repetitive games 
where i tried to out think silly little colored blobs

 admitting
 i am a candy crush freak
 is not easy but its true 

being stuck on level 109 
being clever enough
 to
 make sure
 i start each turn
with
two of the same colored bombs
 still
 losing 
still 
not getting
 all those damn jellies
 cleared 
making the right combos
 still 
running out of turns

 has anyone
 ever 
in the history of this game 
ever
 ever 
won' the 'jackpot'
 on 
the daily booster wheel

 i doubt it

 anyway 
i drove myself mad with that
 played
 some scrabble
 some words with friends

 lately 
i have been getting the worst letters 
making the most pathetic words 

are the game gods agin me
 feels like they are

 digressing
 again 

so
 after hours of nothing exciting 
we watched
 into the woods 
which i loved

 i didnt see the play
 but
 i have to wonder about some of the casting
 i thought meryl streep was a fabulous witch
 i suspect bernadette peters played it a whole other way 
meryl is an amazing actress
 bernadette is a singer
 sondheim is a tricky lyricist

 emily blunt
(edited because i misnamed poor emily)
 was wonderful as the baker's wife
joanna gleason
 now
 i wish i had seen her as the baker's wife 
nevertheless
 the movie is wonderful
 anna kendrick is charming and can sing really sing
 chris pine makes a terrific flawed prince charming
 did i say i loved it 
i loved it 

we went from that
 to 
watching the crazies in times square 
we switched
 between
 ryan seacrest
 yawn
 and 
carson daly
 who sat with three people i never saw before in my life
 making rude remarks 
dishing 'celebrities' 
that
 lasted less than one segment

 ended up
 turning off the sound 
on 
sea crest
 til the ball dropped


 sipped a little more champagne
 kissed my man 
went to bed
 i think
 i was asleep by 12:15
(edited again because duh i was wake for the ball drop)
 pathetic but true 

now
 i am sitting here
 typing
 waiting
for
 our traditional new year's day breakfast






toonman makes us
 a very yummy combo
 of 
eggs onions cheese potatoes 
lots of good coffee
 some onion rye 
cause 
i didnt think to get a baguette from eric kayser
 til
 just now 
oh well


 happy new year 
everyone!
