so this is the new year

...and I'm starting it off like I usually do: Lots of reflecting, journal writing and nesting. Post-holiday craze all I want to do is cozy up by the fire with a book or a decent movie or TV marathon. Right now that means four episodes of "Lost" on New Year's Day night (sort of canceling out that resolution to 'be more productive' - but whatever) and a half-hearted attempt to finish Zadie Smith's "On Beauty" by next Monday.

I'd love to take a week off from work just to clean and organize the house, cook lots of food and read books. My dream vacations are kind of boring, I guess.

I';m supposed to go out to dinner with someone tonight but I haven't heard from that person and there's a tiny part of me - ok, a really big part of me - that is secretly hoping for a chance to stay home.

Also, I can't stop listening to the latest Damien Jurado record. Which brings me to this: What record are you most looking forward to in 2007?
