new years eve

in a completely lame move, i have decided to stay home for new years eve. my nephew's coming to chill at my parents' place so that his parents can party a little for a change. it feels ironic, because i'm always the one out partying and now i'm going to be the lame one at home. ah, well, there are worse ways to spend your new year's eve, such as, um...well...it could be worse, i'm sure.

so if you have any suggestions of how i could spend this lovely tradition, i'd appreciate it. last year was as good as it gets for me. pjs, pancakes, movies (or bad tv) and drinking, which sounds like a horrible combination but it was a lot of fun. especially when i had to pretend i wasn't drunk, haha. hahahahahahaha. i'm sure we can all guess how well that went....

in other news. i went to tour of a "new apartment building" near wilmington (www.theresidences.net - their sister company is the Residences at Rodney Square if this is any indication of the style of apts.), because my dad is working there. well, i wanted the blue collar tour, but apparently, the little concierge said no that the leasing agent would have to do it. so i went on the tour. fabulous apartments. absolutely beautiful and COMPLETELY out of my price range. the kicker was that she keep harking on the view. the view of the Christina river. if anyone's ever been to DE, they can attest to the fact that the christina river is the nastiest river in the state. it's so gross. there's stuff floating in it and oil/pollution on the surface. it's gross. not to mention that if you drive HALF A BLOCK, you are in DE premier redlight district. FABULOUS. other than that, the apartments are great.
