now without hangover...

much better today, thanks.

but really, overall, it was a fantastic new year's celebration. i went to the party at the complex - while not featuring a huge number of revelers, those present were good, quality revelers... which is far more fun in any case.

i wish i could remember how to say "i'm drunk, let's play chess" in russian. i tried very, very hard to learn, but i think the vodka limited my linguistic abilities... it didn't much help my chess-playing ones either. and after all, i wasn't channeling mother russia's every desire... unlike some people.

the champagne was cheap, and no one really liked it anyhow, so we mostly just splashed it all over everyone. good times, good times.

(still not sure i'm a livejournaller for good, but might as well give it a try... once i get good and bored, i want to play with this embedding in another webpage idea... i assume it's an xml trick?)

then yesterday afternoon, i woke up, finished watching harvey to avoid testing le boyfriend's threat to dump me on sight if i didn't, and headed off to knoxvegas to welcome him back from alaska... and take a nap. my hangover, his jetlag, it all worked out rather cozily, at least as cozily as you can expect such things to work out. it was a sad waste to let him buy me dinner later, though...

and now... it feels like monday. and my lunch hour's quickly wasting away.
