Happy New Year!: seanan

Happy New Year!

Being a devout follower of the Great Pumpkin (hallowed be His fields), today is my local new year, for values of "local" that include me, my cats (who enjoyed their new year's treat of tuna juice from the can), and any pagans in my vicinity.

I like having multiple New Years. It gives me the chance to try again if I feel like this one isn't working out (although strict application of the math involved may well mean that I'm in my sixties). I like the fact that everything is different today than it was yesterday, even if everything is also exactly the same.

I hope you all had a fantastic Halloween, whether it's something you celebrate or something you endure or something you barely notice until it's over and the basic cable stations stop showing endless horror movie marathons and repeats of Hocus Pocus. I hope you ran amok, or didn't, as your heart prefers. I hope you spent some time in the cornfield of your heart, remembering the sweetness of the season.

From all of us here (mostly me and the cats) to all of you out there, Happy New Year. Welcome to November.

It's going to be a good year.

Wishing you a happy and blessed New Year! I spent mine in my studio working until midnight and listening to the Wicked Girls album on repeat.

If you believe in the first day of a new year being a barometer for the reminder of theyear, mine is going to be dismal. Fortunately, I don't oversubscribe to that belief.

Thanks for the new year's greetings. I and all the cats of my acquaintance wish a safe, bountiful, and happy year to you and your furry ones.

This was actually one of the nicest Halloweens in a long while, at least since the days when my kids were young enough to scamper around the neighborhood amassing mountains of sweets. Work was a bit rough but ended up okay, then we had a lovely little "household" dinner, just my roommates (married), me, and my primary girlfriend. Well, and the cats, but there's always the cats.

Low-key, casual, quiet, friendly, all in all a great evening.

Tangentially, last night I dreamed we were both visiting Kyle player and for no logical reason, brought all our cats. Between Kyle player's cats, your Coon cats, but overactive Birmin, my roomate's intellectually challenged tuxedo, and the politically aggressive girls, it was far too many cats. Still, in my dream, your cats were gorgeous and utterly loveable.

Your dream is hence accurate, and I approve of it.
