A great way to start the year
Jan. 4th, 2009 10:12 amIf this year continues as it started, it's going to be a wonder.
Since I had Thursday and Friday off from work, ACat and I celebrated our New Year fairly quietly at home with each other, then Friday I left him to his WoW and friends thereon, and headed out to meet up with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sfeley where he was diligently putting in time at work on his day off. Fortunately, we had better plans on how to use a perfectly good day off, so we headed out to a great steak lunch, then went off to see (so to speak) Dialog in the Dark and also the Bodies exhibit, which were showing in the same building with a combined ticket option. Bodies I had already seen in MI when I went to visit davehogg some time ago, but it was well worth seeing again. Dialog is incredible and intense (even eyeopening, if you'll pardon the term in this context), and well worth checking out if you have a chance.
Having entirely enjoyed ourselves there, we headed out to retrieve his son, then back home where plans evolved into pizza and watching a rather silly scifi movie with his wife (I think it was The Ice Pirates?) and then some quality time for ourselves. Saturday morning wound up with us all going out for breakfast (poly for the win!), then I tagged along for some minor errands (including a trip to Borders, which is hardly a hardship), came back and watched the pilot of Pushing up Daisies (which is as good as I keep being told, yes, I'm hooked!), then I headed back home to get ready with ACat for my truly extravagant Christmas gift - VIP (Tapis Rouge or red carpet) tickets to the Cirque Du Soleil show Kooza.
I've been enchanted by Cirque since I discovered it, but this is the first show I've been to. It was magical, and we rolled back towards home around 11 hoarse from cheering and hooting, and sore from clapping. It was every bit as good as I'd hoped, and that's saying an awful lot.
Today will be resting a bit, laundry a bit, groceries a bit - all the stuff that has to get done to keep the household going. Tomorrow, of course, is back to work. As the start of a new year, though, I've got to say that this has been one of the best, and I do mean to go on as I've begun! It's a happy thought.
