worth more than 1,001 words
This artwork was posted on the Grandaddy message board today. I'm assuming it's the work of my prolific and talented pal, Aaron Burtch.
It's almost unreal how perfectly it sums up exactly how I feel on this night of nights.
Grandaddy to the rescue, again.

great expectations
2005 can't get here fast enough. Of course it's silly to read too much into something as ultimately meaningless as the end of one year and the beginning of another. But for what's it worth, it works.
So many people, places and parties to choose from for the big switch. Will it be old friends or new flings? New places or familiar faces? I'm kind of shooting for a bit of both. And I definitely want to see some of the fireworks. After spending the last few weeks in a long, slow fizzle, I'm ready to fucking explode. In a really good way.
Shimmer on horizons, everyone. Happy New Year to you all.

thank god it's them instead of you
It's Sunday night and I'm still only semi-recovered from Diana & Mike's annual XXXmas party and Giftapalooza, which celebrated its 13th anniversary over the weekend here in Seattle.
This is the party where people bring some seriously fucked-up presents to unload on the unsuspecting random masses. You bring a present to put under the tree, then try your luck at picking out a new prize from what others have brought. It was a bit of a smaller crowd than in previous years, but the "quality" of presents (and people in attendance) was very, very high. So to speak.
New Seattle resident Sasha Krushnik made an inspired first impression with the present he brought: a bag of mushrooms. The poor girl who opened that was immediately bum-rushed.
Still, I think I may have been the recipient of the most popular present. And as Christmas is a time for sharing I let everyone at the party get a piece of the action, as you'll see from the photos I put together in a quicktime movie.

I'm back
Not sure how I let the blog slip by me for so long. Maybe too busy, maybe too involved with other stuff. And now feels like a weird time to jump back in it with so much insanely heavy stuff going down in my life.
I think I'll keep this re-entry simple and just say hello. Again.
