Well there goes 2012. This final day was a lot of running around then Matt and Miguel came over for an evening of appetizers, vodka shots and bubbly. Fun was had by all. It was quite the year. Thanks for coming along for the ride. Rich, the kitties and I will be back with more videos in 2013. Just haven’t decided on a schedule yet.
Rich went shopping and bought some new stuff. “People being dumber than a bag of rocks,” Rich. Is it any wonder I love him? Went to dinner with M+M. Then cute shots of the cats. I really should have written this description before I got into the sauce on NYE.
It’s the odd Saturday so Rich has to clean and do laundry. Meaning I’m on the street. So I met with up with Alex at the neighborhood cafe. Then I ranted about the directions for morons on a pizza box. And ranted some more about the stupidity of Comcast. But then that is like saying the sky is blue.
As the year winds down, I am running out of daily descriptors. Rich makes me laugh though, as usual. Maybe that’s the secret of 25 years together. Certainly not his daily Judge Judy habit. Otherwise, a quiet, cold and rainy Friday night at home with the kitties.
December 25. The day when everyone knows what’s going to happen. Gifts. Family and friends. Too much food. Too much drink and other intoxicants. Before it’s over someone cries. Guaranteed. We had all that. Except for the crying. At least not on camera. Ho ho ho.
Another incredibly lazy day and late start shooting. Finally roused myself from the role of kitty cat bed to go get the Christmas shopping over. Mostly. Still need to pick up a few small things and send the nieces/nephews gift certificates. I know such gifts are kind of lame but they actually asked for them. A few Christmas lights are to be seen and the best news is that I have managed to get through a holiday season without resorting to a mall. Local merchants and no lines are the way to go.
And the rain came. So I spent most of the day in bed. Didn’t drag myself out and start recording until 3:30 or so. Worked out then we met up with M+M for a takeout dinner at their place. Puck the cat was adorable, as usual. A deep discussion comparing and contrasting The Macarena vs. Gangnam Style took place. Then a very wet Touareg took us home.
Short video for the shortest day of the year. I fully intended to shoot more only to get distracted by BofA’s stupidity. I discovered they hit me with a monthly service charge on one of the accounts. Shouldn’t happen because we have all our accounts consolidated with them. Having to navigate their goddamn automated phone system didn’t make my mood any better. Unfortunately, the rep I eventually got on the line was super apologetic and reversed the charge immediately. Took the wind out of my sails because I was all set to rant. Afterwards, all I could muster was finishing up some stuff for classes. I did have some extra footage of the cats from earlier in the week. You’re welcome.
We closed on our refinance and signed the papers today. And signed. And signed. And signed. Such silliness. Then I went for lunch at Nopalito and realized my favorite, the Chilpachole, had returned. With the fresh tortillas. Amazing. Finally, the 3-series has taken to scheduling service for itself. Convenient if a bit creepy.
Rainy, cold, grey day. I stayed in and lazed around until deep into the afternoon. Only left then because I felt like a slug. Came home, broke out the Armagnac and watched Bernie. Excellent film. Worth renting.
