2011

new year's eve has been quite an experience. firstly, i got locked out upon arriving home at 7am (we installed an extra lock and the key hadnt arrived yet), so i had to drag my sorry feet around town until the key arrived (thankfully). the worst part of it was that i was having a really bad tummy ache and needed the toilet desperately. tummy ache and a loss of appetite took over the rest of the day.

now the key highlight of this day must be the fireworks. i have never felt THIS close to fireworks before. i don't get why people start setting them off in the day because you don't see anything. but anyhow, i have been enduring it the entire day - happy new year - i can feel the sky literally exploding, colors flashing through my living room, the streets shrouded in smoke - i'm speechless! so this is how it is to live IN the city, with people setting off fireworks at every possible corner. i thought i was safe by staying indoors. it's insane. (i'm actually slightly terrified and annoyed by it)

er...happy 2011?
