Happy New Year!

We ended up not going out, which was cool. We drank really nice champagne from our wedding flutes, sang along to cheesy music, ate finger foods and watched a bootleg copy of 24 on the tiBook. It was my idea of fun, I guess I'm easy. Also it was nice to be able to get to sleep at some point, and not be kept up by people setting off fireworks the entire evening, like in Amsterdam. I remember the piles and piles of spent fireworks in the streets on new year's day, it was like it had rained burnt paper.

There is a "fun fair" in the park this week. When I walked through last night it was completely deserted and pathetic looking. I guess there's nothing more sad looking that an empty carnival in the rain.
