slipping back into the groove like a really comfortable pair of jeans is really nice, as is hearing from simona(!) and shaila in the past couple of days and then giving myself a redesign of in the head during a slooow ass friday (as has been the rest of the week at work) then went redesign mad and here we are except i'm feeling a rather high measure of guilt for this new deal not working in netscape - at least when border="0" and i'm thinking that my li'l ns4.6 is at fault - i mean, do a view source and look at that code and tell me what's wrong as there is something (whoops, that's the sound of guilt overtaking me) but alas, my first (published) work with layers and dhtml shit and you know we all gotta start somewhere like with my new years resolutions which haven't officially started yet but the one that i forgot to write down was the one i practiced tonight, i.e. get out of the house and get down to the city and enjoy myself for chrissake(!) so i did and made it home at a decent hour for breakfast tomorrow with peter and some viewing of art later on in the day and its a little late but happy new year and speaking of which, i think this is the first year that i haven't waxed poetic in my mind about years past (however i did indulge in a bit of "7 years ago") and about "where i was one year ago today - quitting smoking, misty, all that... all that doesn't seem like it was a year ago at all and yet it might as well have happened in another life and i suppose if i think about it the right way, it did.
