since i'm going to be home for christmas, instead of visiting my family in los angeles, i've been wondering what i'll do with myself for that week i'm on holiday after christmas. ideally, i'd love to have a whirlwind affair with a visiting jazz musician/political attache (who also likes making furniture) that ends with a tearful goodbye on the roof of the Peninsula while the snow swirls around us, but i fear that's not in the stars.

so what will i do, other than sleep in?

1. get a new photo taken for 2006
2. take up embroidery (go here for cute patterns)
3. catch up with J-, have drinks with T-, maybe drop in on B- and hang out with C-
4. rent dvds from television shows i should catch up with: Lost, Battlestar Galactica...
5. see movies: Syriana, Rent, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Narnia, Paradise Now, Family Stone
6. see what's up at the MoCA and catch all the kids choirs at the Museum of Science and Industry
7. get a haircut (i'm totally due)
8. pay off my library fine (it's a big one) and begin checking out books again
9. clean my room
10. hang out in my neighborhood cafe, write a few things but then rush home to spend all day playing a game (which game? which game?).
