Got on the net, while nursing my hangover, and downloaded 6 Kinks albums.

I am drunk for past 14 hours....

I was gigging in a packed pub with a free bar for most of it, I got payed a heavy wad of cash and drank lots afterwards. So started well as far as I'm concerned.

A whimper rather than the bang I was hoping for.

Yay!! You're back!! :D

My New Years Day was incredibly tame and relaxing actually. I woke up around 8:30 (I did go to sleep at 2 so it's not bad) walked over to my dad's apartment which I'm watching over, had a shower, fed the cat, etc. Then I met up with my friend who I'm staying with and his girlfriend for breakfast. After that I took a few bong hits, read some of Mr. Be Gone by Clive Barker, then went book shopping with the friends I'm staying with. I ended up getting The Necronomicon by H.P. Lovecraft that has almost everything he ever wrote for 7 bucks! Hardcover and everything, probably the best deal I've gotten in awhile. We came back here and watched episodes 2-5 of the Venture Bros. season 4 and then I went downtown to see one of my best friends. We gambled for a bit, wandered around downtown in search of an old restaurant that's supposedly a front for the Hell's Angels Biker Gang, but we couldn't remember the name so we went to White Spot. Then we departed, I took a ferry back over to North Vancouver, took a few more bong hits, and read some more of my Clive Barker book. All in all a very welcome start to the new year, exponentially better than last year's shitfest of a start.

Which 'uns?

****in' great. I went to a show where three of my friends' bands were playing. Then I stayed up through the night and morning; had only three shots the entire night. Got some exercise, watched some old Loony Tunes episodes, and went to my friends' house for a cook-off where I made two 3-foot philly cheesesteaks and wrecked all my friends in Wii bowling.

Watched a documentary about cold war and finished yesterdays bottle of wine.
