Ringing in the New Year right

Christmas in California was everything I wanted it to be: lazy, quiet, and slow. Despite the untraditional aspects of celebrating on the 26th and seeing the very traditional holiday movie Sweeney Todd on Christmas Day, it was the break I needed from the hustle and bustle of the city. As soon as our plane took off from JFK, I felt my body start to slow down, and by the time I arrived at SFO, I was ready for a long nap (and that's exactly what I did).

Coming back to the city after the vacation proved more difficult that anticipated, and I needed lots of rest and quiet time to be able to keep going. But Ash and I had Matt here to entertain us and keep us company through the new year. On New Year's Eve I headed out to Queens to hang out with some Wicked folks, and had a long, debaucherous, fuzzy night.

And so, I begin my first new year in the city, and I'm going to make sure it's a good one. I've dubbed it 'the year of me,' and I'm giving myself the right to be selfish and do things for me: my career, my personal life, my friends, etc. I'm going to make sure that I can progress my life in every way possible. I'm here in New York to further myself, and it's time for me to start things moving!

So here's to a fantastic New Year!
