New Year's at Pine Mountain was... adventurous this year. Power/water problems at the cabins abounded, so some minor confusion and tension filled the first two days -- not to mention car problems that stranded ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fidgetcub out on the 5 for a few hours. My somewhat chemically-altered retrieval of him will surely be humorous story fodder for my pals for many years (don't worry, someone else drove while I babbled and slept and babbled some more). I'm sure many other LJ recaps will fill in the details, but as for me, the rest of the weekend turned out just fine, and we had a lazy good time watching movies and playing Xbox and snacking.
I also got to spend the week with the visitingurbanistanet, who was on an extended stopover after visiting family in Sydney for the holidays. Heard from him last night, and his flight back home to London on Saturday night was uneventful. We spent a great (and exceedingly wet) day at Disneyland on Tuesday the 28th, and he joined in the fun at the cabin for New Years, too. A truly swell fella, hope to see more of him.
bleepkeeper and his beau Brian also flew into town in on the 29th, just in time for my annual Crappy Gift Exchange, which was truly awful/wonderful as usual. No sheep's heads this year, but plenty of crap nonetheless, and an evening of hysterical gift-swapping was had by all.
Oh, and I finally finished my lip-synching video, perchrisglass' now-infamous meme -- I actually did it before the holidays, but didn't get a chance to dub in the music track or compress it or upload it until now. Here it is, in all its 80s retro glory...
Back at work now, awaiting for many other shoes to drop. :) More to come.
