happy new year!
Happy New Year, everyone! I hope you all had a safe & fun time watching the ball drop last night.Personally, I didn't bother...I was too busy writing, as well as keeping up with the Law & Order: Criminal Intent marathon that was on USA & trying to remember to eat saurkraut at exactly midnight.
Ick. I really do not like saurkraut. But I spent my entire childhood hearing that if you ate it on New Year's Eve, it would bring you good luck for the coming year. So, of course--superstitious basket case that I am--I have to eat at least a couple bites or spend the next twelve months waiting for the axe to drop.
In fact, since I can't pin down exactly when I'm supposed to eat it for the very best luck to strike me, I've started eating a few bites on New Year's Eve, then a few bites at exactly midnight, and a bit more again on New Year's Day. You know, to cover my bases. I don't want any potential good luck slipping thru the cracks.
Today, I've been watching the Monk marathon, also on USA, & trying to write. I've hit a slight snag, in that I don't feel the current scene is going quite the way it should, so I need to back up & rethink the angle. I do have an idea for revising the scene, tho, so it shouldn't take me much longer to get back on track.
Off for more of the obsessive-compulsive detective & obsessive-compulsive writing... :-D
Here's wishing you all a safe, happy, & prosperous 2006!
