Hey hey! New Year!
I spent NYE with Chinese food & Trivial Pursuit: Book Lovers' Edition.
The former was wonderful but the latter was ill-advised.

spent new years day hosting a waffle brunch which ended in an ill-advised trip to the mall because our neighbor has found Teavana.

which is like the Oprah book club of tea stores. i haven't been to a mall in like 7 years? i'd forgotten about them. they're pretty hilarious for about ten minutes.

I had the best eggs benedict on NYD with the last of the friends in town. No corned beef hash though.

I am still recovering from Christmas, I think, at least emotionally. There were certainly good moments but some really upsetting things, too. Plus all of the usual holiday exhaustion and intoxication. A funeral on the 27th for a friend who had been murdered kinda capped it all off.
One good part is that my mom's side of the family is finally ready to meet D. -- he was extended an invite to 2 family functions, even -- but he's not quite ready for that. But it's progress!

Alex/ Morbs- Sorry I couldn't make it. I've been feeling like total shit on and off for weeks. Cannot shake this !@#$%^ cold.

No problem! Hope you feel better. I awkwardly introduced Morbz to my undergrad roommate who is from NYC and Katherine from The Singles Jukebox and we had a lovely and awkward but mostly lovely time. I think. I hope? I'm vaguely filled with social anxiety.

JF said to say thank you for the recommendation, though, because we went to the restaurant you suggested and it was ASTOUNDINGLY DELICIOUS.

Last night I attended the most incredible drag show I have ever seen/will ever see in my entire life. Sharon Needles (from the current season of Drag Race) was thre and at one point during her performance of Marilyn Manson's "Beautiful People" she collected all her tips and put them in a blender with a ton of vodka, which she later drank. This was actually later upstaged by a queen who sang "Part Of Your World" from The Little Mermaid while doing this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEn9r-8BK7I
which ended with her hanging limp like a drowned corpse 15 feet above the stage. Holy shit.
