2 January 2003 00:59The problem with taking a respite from drinking - when one goes back it is often much worse the next day than it was before the abstination.
I'm not horribly hungover or anything, just really draggy and lazy. I think I might have picked up the beginnings of cold, too, which just encourages the sloth. I *did* manage to clean up the mess that Chris-Bob and Alicia left in the upstairs room, to get it suitable for
blackradish and
daq42 to crash in while they visit this weekend! Wheee!
Last night at Solstice in DC was completely excellent. Went up with
payback and
endangeredhuman and had some adventures - usual to any trip to DC for me - trying to find the venue. Once we got there, we immediately found Carolynn [DJ Solaries], her fiance Eric,
nothingoth and
pizza_tram [YAY!] I have photographic evidence that she and I met, uh huh. I'll scan it in tomorrow and put it up. I also have pics of completely drunk people, those people being us. We danced like fools, toasted, played with noisemakers, and generally were the cliched folks you always see at NYE events. Everyone spun cool music that made me happy, and
oletheros did a great job. All in all, a perfect night.
Got home and Stu was up and drinking with Girl Alex and Jarrett, and they looked like they'd had a blast, too. I stayed up for a little while longer, talking to them, but I was pretty well drunkenly spent and crashed around 5am. I didn't manage to drag my sorry black-clad ass out of bed until something like 4pm. Got up, made some omelettes of the mushroom/onion variety, drank some soymilk [living up to the "resolution" to mostly eat a veggie diet again and conquer the gall bladder of doom]... then I tried to kick into gear [ha!] and clean up some around here. Also plopped some burgundy wine dye on my hair while doing all this. I sound more productive than I really was, I swear.
Tomorrow I have to go to Coyote and paint paint paint. Or maybe I'll be cleaning or who knows what else. But this does mean that I'll be getting a wee workout, which means I should get to sleep. I'm hoping that everyone else has a great New Year, and that we all keep it going... safe, creative and positive.
Love to all.
