A New Year's Query

[copied from dland]

When the pope urges worldwide peace for the new year, is that really news? I mean, if the pope urged global warfare, now baby, that would be news. Pope urging peace, not so much.

I'm just saying.

I'm not going to recap my year, because I had a lot of nasty months at school that I'd really prefer not to revisit. However, I would like to wish a happy new year to all three or four of you (with apologies to Marn) reading out there, and especially to l'empress, since I can't seem to leave comments there anymore. Hi!

As expected, a quiet day today -- rainy, but around 50 degrees -- although I did go to the mall and Kohl's briefly this morning. Pretty empty, both, and Kohl's did not have the bargains I was looking for. I also hit the supermarket briefly, but I forgot that I wanted to start my salad-for-lunch routine again, so I didn't get salad. If K is interested, we'll go to Whole Foods when she gets home from work around six and I can hit the salad bar there; if not, one more day of cafeteria lunch won't kill me and I'll go after school tomorrow. I have another errand or two to do anyway. I'm going to the gym after school on Wednesday this week, although I'll probably go Tuesdays and Thursdays after that.

Today's TV holiday marathon is Ugly Betty on Soapnet. Ah, the magic of cable TV. I do enjoy Ugly Betty.

The all-day headache, however, is starting to wear a little thin. I don't know if it's the weather or the cold I have or what, but I've tried to take naps twice (without ever falling asleep) and I can't seem to shake it. It's pissing me off.

Back to Betty.
