So it's a brave new year, or something. I stayed home, watching In the Bedroom from what must have been 6 years ago (it's just as good), cooking radicchio-peas-artichoke spinach fetucchine, two manhattans, and then passing out, waking up 5 minutes after midnight. I can't remember what I did last year, adn due to the writers' strike, the Tongiht Show was a rerun.

I've done extensive cleaning and then TV has been returned to the bedroom, although its flatscreen replacement is still waiting to be purchased. I've felt crippled, without a metrocard...
