It's a new year!
The last day of 2009 was a pretty low-key one for me. I spent the afternoon running errands and buying groceries (BAD IDEA! BAD IDEA! GROCERY STORES WERE VERY VERY CROWDED! LIKEWISE BANKS AND POST OFFICES!) then came home and made tacos for dinner. I watched several reruns of 30 Rock, made pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, which I then ate and chased down with a glass of Shiraz.
At ten to midnight, I sat down with Skylar to watch the ball drop in Times Square.
I chose CNN for my Times Square coverage, the only channel that's not afraid to pair Kathy Griffin and Anderson Cooper (pictured above) and give them 90 minutes of live air to fill with conversation such as the following:
Anderson: What's your New Year's resolution?
Kathy: To make you say 'balls' more.
Finally, at 12:05am I took the dog out for her final bathroom visit of the evening and was greeted by a neighbor (presumably) streaking in the new year! I might've thought he was just an escaped mental patient or similar, but he jubilantly wished me a "Happy New Year!" as he raced past. I was amused; Skylar was baffled.
So...that was 2009. Vive le 2010!
