My first post of 2008.

I did get ready after my last post. I met Michael at Rob & Luna's home, where we watched some tv and chatted. Michael & I didn't stay for long. I wanted to make sure I was at the clock tower at midnight, and the snow that had been forecasted was already coming down.

I found my way up to Steve's office without any trouble at all. He'd given me directions to it nearly 2 years ago, but I'd never visited it before, though some of my friends have over the years that I've known him. Christine, Colleen & Bobby showed up later, which was nice. I met some interesting people, and I had a very nice time. Michael & I kissed at midnight, to the sound of the chiming bells, and within a half hour or so we were on our way. I did not want to be snowed in!

The snow was surprisingly deep for not having been there at all an hour or so before. Michael cleaned off the car for me as I was wearing next to nothing, and didn't bring my gloves. I drove him back to his friends' house, kissed him goodnight, cleaned off my car some more, and then drove home.

Mark was happy I made it home ok. He'd been watching Battlestar Galactica for hours, and is very nearly caught up to me, and may actually pass me up, which would be fine really. I could have continued with the show when I got home, but decided to start a new Trek book ("The Battle of Betazed") which I'd started reading once before a few years ago, and then never finished. I read the prologue and first chapter then slept until about 5am.

When I woke up it was still dark, and still snowing. The trees were heavy with the snow, and I was wondering how much they could take, and if this would mean that power lines would be crashing down somewhere. I checked for news online, and read e-mail. I updated the book section of my website to reflect what I'm reding this year, and then I had a snack, and continued with the book. I'm over a quarter of the way through my first book of 2008, which pleases me.

Mollie called while I was writing this to tell me that "They Cybermen aren't nice.". She's watching a 6th Doctor story called "Attck of the Cybermen" and while she didn't give me any spoilers she told me that she thinks they're more disturbing in the older show. She's enjoying the 6th Doctor more than the 5th, and she really likes his first companion, Peri. We talked about last night's party, and the blizzard, and other random stuff. It was nice.

The sun is up now, and the snow has stopped falling. It actually struck me as rather beautiful while driving home last night. Snow can be beautiful; quiet and calming. It's just a pain to drive in...plus it's cold. lol. It always reminds me of the movie "Legend". That and slow kind of sad music like Exile & Evening Falls... by Enya (from "Watermark"), and Winter Marches On by Duran Duran (from "Notorious"). Just my wacky brain I guess.

So now I'm waiting for my prilosec to kick in so I can eat. I'm thinking that Chris probably won't come over today because of all the snow, but maybe the roads will be cleaner later? I'm supposed to call her today and let her know that I'm ok (what with all the drunken blizzard-ness of the night). lol

Ok. I'm off.
