The New Year, as always, rolls in fast, maybe even too soon, and puts me in a weird state of mind. The calendar says that it’s here, I know that it’s here, everyone’s been gearing up for it, but to actually say “Hey it’s 2010” feels very odd. January always takes some getting used too. And the whole talk about ‘resolutions’, oh please! No one ever sticks to them! I’ve heard all the regular ones on the news: “Get fit – go to the gym”, “eat healthier”, “less stress”. I want to see a person who says “I’ll live in Antarctica for half a year, create incredible things and do some research.”, “I’ll design and build my own energy efficient house, here is the plan.”, or “I’ll bike from Yukon to Mexico and document the journey.”. Whatever happened to ambitious, well thought out resolutions and goals that people get excited about? Something to inspire yourself and others, something that you can say you’ve done and be proud of? Even if it doesn’t work out in the end, you’ll be so much happier that you’ve tried. I don’t make cheesy New Year resolutions, I make goals; ambitions, crazy, but well thought out goals. Here is to flying… or crashing… either or really.

As of late I’ve been dancing around the house to Pirate Radio hits. Pretty sure that I’m 40, make that 50 (!!!) years too late. Yes, I’ve seen the movie, but to consider myself a groupie is absurd, right? I mean, I’ve heard all those songs before, they just never came in a nice pre-mixed 4CD package! All the fun, booty-shaking goodness playing out of Mac’s speakers makes me happy! Actually, “Empire State of Mind” screeching from a broken stereo (circa 1990 – requires a metal bottle as antenna) during volleyball last night made me dance too. Right there, on the court, with a ball flying like a well aimed projectile… I DANCED! What a perfect team player I am! Want me on your team, CALL TODAY!

And for a spark of winter in all it’s glory here is the scene from my window this morning! How gorgeous is that?!? It’s just like ‘ink blotches’ therapy… what do you see???

So I’ve met the perfect guy yesterday. It’s not often that you meet one of those, and I’m not talking ‘perfect’ for everyone, just me, perfect for me. The whole day went so smoothly, from conversations, to food, to laughing at silly jokes and being clumsy. He was perfectly charming in a geeky sort of way, just the way I like them. I was so impressed! I think he found the “How to make Katie fall in love with you-101” book, and was sticking to the rules. And then… I woke up. Yes, disappointment, how I love thee! My brain was having perfect conversations with itself, no wonder the guy was amazing! Way to go brain!!! Gah, what a rip off!

The band is The Herbaliser, the song is “You’re not all that”. It made me dance around the room in my socks, Tom Cruise – Risky Business style.. Ok, not really, but I just love catchy songs that make me ‘shake it’ all by my lonesome, ‘cause that’s what the cool kids do, or so I’ve been told. Mind you the windows are usually open, so if you’d like to see poorly coordinated dance routines, feel free to stare! My neighbors must love me! Listen to it and tell me you weren’t dancing (or bopping your head at least)! The Herbaliser – You’re Not All That starts at around 9:25 in. Midnight Poutine podcasts are completely awesome by the way, and make my photo editing days go by so much faster!

Remote controls for lights are cool! with dimmers!..and rechargeable batteries.. and free wireless internet.. and.. and can you tell I’m running out of things to write about? Actually no, I’m not, sorry! But remote controls for lights are great! They are way better than those ‘clap twice things’ or ‘get up and walk to the other side of the room, stick your hand behind the door, turn the switch on, while avoiding bumping your head on a shelf’. Not that I’ve ever done that!

I’m on a mini adventure tomorrow to document fall 2009 (doesn’t it sound like I’m going on yet another fashion show? (I actually did, and it was fabulous!). The autumn landscapes are just gorgeous, and light drizzle makes it even better. Camera in hand, rubber boots, umbrella, and extra pair of hands to hold it all, are on my ‘need to pack for tomorrow’ list. Maybe my super creative brain will dream up a way to get more hand ‘real-estate’ for tomorrow. …Brain, what a rip off! : )

Red leaf, you are pretty, even if you are a cliche, lying there on that green grass…
