Happy New Year everyone. For myself, I'm certainly hoping for a healthier 2007. Right now, I'm surrounded by piles of paper. I've used the four day weekend to my advantage and have been tackling cleaning the apartment. Or at least making a dent in it. (Ironically I suddenly had "Charlie & the MTA" refrain in my head "Did she ever return... no, she never returned..." Or something like that.)

On Friday, I had a pre-New Year's party with [livejournal.com profile] confettiofstars, [livejournal.com profile] darthblitzkrieg and [livejournal.com profile] theczech consisting of dinner at the Sweetwater Tavern. Then we returned to trade sheep for roads aka Settlers of Catan. Actually I was a good Virgo and focused on earthenware aka Rock and Brick. I had my little corner all locked up, but I couldn't get enough wood or sheep to build my cities. I picked the blue because I liked the color honestly. [livejournal.com profile] confettiofstars of course picked red and we had a merry old time with Dems and Reps jokes the whole way all in good fun. She also showed us the trailer for the new World of Warcraft expansion and why changing sheep was so funny. At least now I'll be prepared for that.

I spent my New Year's Eve alone watching dvds and the occasional sudoku puzzle. I have this huge pile I've culled from the Expresses and I keep hoping each time I pick one up I'll solve it. I'm hopeless that way.

Did I ever tell you about Circuit City in Florida? If you ever want a seriously good judge of a home theater environment, don't pick "Lord of the Rings" or "Star Wars", pick "Drumline". Yes, you read that right. You want a band movie. It was playing right at the challenge between the two drum lines and WOW! Was that effective or what? You could feel every beat and every rhythm.

I still can't convince my dad to buy me a DVD recorder so I may buy one on my own. (He keeps wanting to wait for the various formats to shake out. He spent 30+ years at the FCC technical/engineering dept, can you tell?) Any good brands/models would be helpful. The one I was looking at doesn't have a built in VHS, but it has the hard drive I wanted. Can you get it both ways or do I have to sacrifice the one? I have a VCR, but I was hoping to conserve some space. These tapes have to go someday. At least the Pretender ones can now be mostly be recycled.
