The Friedman's have gone home, so our house is back down to its (now) normal complement of five people. Twelve was a bit much. It's nice to have most of the Friedman's here, but it would be nicer if Bill could make less noise whenever he moves -- especially in the mornings. He *is* getting more socialized, albeit with glacial slowness. Now, when he pushes his way roughly through a crowd, he at least says "excuse me".

It was most excellent to see Rick (and his wonderful fiancee Carin). I have been feeling a little disconnected from him of late (as much my fault as his), and that's a poor feeling to have about one of your Best Friends Ever.

New Years at the Buttery was fun. Some of the people I was hoping to see there ([livejournal.com profile] bess and [livejournal.com profile] juldea) didn't show up, but there were plenty of other lovely, witty, velvet-wearing ladies to flirt with, so *that* was all right :-) [livejournal.com profile] kestrell lasted until the big midnight noise, and then I walked her home, returning for more party myself.

The post-midnight phase change left a smaller party than usual this year, though. I figured out after the fact that that was at least partially due to [livejournal.com profile] fabrisse stealing at least half of the cool people over to her own house. I'm torn betwen annoyance at her doing that and annoyance at not being invited myself :-s

Around 2 AM, the conversation drifted (without any prompting from me) to "disastrous bus trips to Pennsic". Well, I do know a cue when I hear one, and half the people in the room hadn't yet heard The Saga of Warrior Bus Lines, so I trotted it out once more.

I sold a few more Pestle DVDs. Demand has not been what I had hoped. Also mildly depressed about no one having apparently *watched* it yet. Le sigh.

Hmmmm... maybe [livejournal.com profile] new_man is right. This is mostly just whining. Time to get off my butt and do some of the useful stuff I've been distracting myself from.
