day 524

New Year, same shit.

Started GREAT!!! The New Years's eve fun was limitless. Hadda be @ the job for the am-boss is using his time before they can him, then off to nyc. Seamless connections, bus to train to the Y. Checked in, coolio. Food @ Food Emporium's dinner/salad buffet, then a flick (Blue Valentine), then Gov't Mule @ The Beacon-REALLY cool. Then, ran a few blocks to the start of the race.

WOW. Waited 'till 11 to head over-should'a gone over sooner. I had an unbeaten streak of Emerald Nuts "year" crowns-like those corny Statue of Liberty foam things tourists buy. This year there were so many people, they ran out. Not to worry, got a blinker. SOOOO many people, runners AND tourists.

Temps-WARM!!! Hadda take off my jacket after a mile.

Best memory-besides the killer fireworks: NYC parks Comish Adrian Benepe "If you think you're in Times Square, you fucked up." Nice. Typical NYC.

High fived every reveler cheering us on, hung with the flavor of the night (does ANYONE go home alone???) then back to my room to crash. Awoke 7:20, checked out, headed for AP, again, seamless connections. Made it there early for the run/walk.

Really a great New Years.

Then...Toxichouse. Sybil's home, Stoney makes it a point to point this out. It and I were to discuss resolution of my ill fated attempt to please Stoney with the Kinnect. Of course, this was pointless, It isn't capable of having a conversation. Couldn't even make eye contact. Again, insisted on-in the presence of my son-pointing out my status as an asshole, bastard, and fucking________. Lovely. Really gives you that "so glad to be home" feeling. All this while reinforcing my need to, essentially, buy him whatever he wants. Bear in mind, we still have no heat.

This sucks. Happy New Year. Can't suck worse than this past year.
