Post-Christmas and New Year's Blues
Monday, January 03, 2011

The fun of December is over and a new year begins. One can't help but wonder what waits around the corner...

Christmas was great this year. The main attraction was, of course, Jesse who loved everything he opened, even when he didn't know what it was. I got a ton of Dunkin Donuts coffee (my favorite!), a new hat and gloves, part 2 of Full Metal Alchemist, and other edible goods.

Also saw the new Narnia movie and True Grit, the former of which was completely forgettable (other than the sexy roughage of Ben Barnes), the latter of which was spectacularly awesome, funny, heartwarming, and one of my favorite of 2o1o.

Resolutions!
1. Eat healthy
2. Write daily
3. Waste less $

And, since I do a music post every year, here are my top 10 songs I played the crap out of this past year! I cried, danced poorly, and sang along with all of these and I probably will again this year.

Roman Fischer - Into Your Head
Lady GaGa - Alejandro
Danny - Unite This Heart
The Temper Trap - Sweet Disposition
Unheilig - Grosse Freiheit
Mans Zelmerlow - Forever
James Yuill - On Your Own
Operator Please - Jealous
Deluka - Come Back to Me
Gorillaz - On Melancholy Hill

Here's to a new year of better days and less depression! *smashes champagne glass, runs to find a mop and broom*

"I found you in the daylight
and kissed you in the moonlight
and the stars had formed
a smile across the sky
love will last forever
you and me together
forever, I'm yours" -"Forever", Mans Zelmerlow
