My host and I made a change to the site that nuked the last couple of posts. I’ve restored most of them, but if you’ve observed any weirdness over the last couple of days, that’s why and no it wasn’t just in your head. Maybe.

Two years ago, on New Year’s Eve, I drove to Aptos for the afternoon. At the time, it was a lark, and I thought it would be a fun thing to do with the woman I was semi-secretly in a relationship (of sorts) with. She declined, but I went and had a nice time. A line in the Wolfmother song Pyramid that played on my way back through Pleasanton hinted at the fight a bit later that would cost me two friends.

Last year, on the weekend before New Year’s, I decided to go for a drive along Highway One. From Modesto, I drove to Half Moon Bay and turned left, and again at Santa Cruz to come home. It killed an afternoon real well. I listened to Hendrix for most of the trip. I’d like to say that Hendrix predicted something for me as well, but no. Well, not counting that time in June when I stood up next to a mountain and chopped it down with the edge of my hand.

Tomorrow is the last Sunday before New Years. When I make the drive tomorrow, it will be a tradition. I think I’ll do the Half Moon Bay - Santa Cruz loop again, because I always enjoy taking my Mazdaspeed on Highway One. I’m not sure what I should listen to: The music that seems to have gotten the most play from me this year has been The Horrorpops, introduced to me by Tori, but the thing is that I really have listened to that a lot and should give something else a go. I’m thinking Pink Floyd might make for a nice windy drive.

If I post something from the beach tomorrow, that’s what’s up. If something comes up before then, I’ll post about it, but otherwise, have a Happy New Year!

Or whichever holidays you enjoy. I’m celebrating this one, so it’s what you all get a little drawing for.

(That’s my real tree this year, by the way. The reason the garland is so whack at the bottom is because Six the cat can reach it.)
