2010, here we go

Star date Twenty-Ten. We made it. Still in holiday mode, and lite-posting, probably keep that up for the rest of the week. Don’t do today what you can do tomorrow, and all that.

It’s been easy living these last few weeks, scribbling down a few to-do items for the next day on a post-it note each evening, rather than juggling tasks between daily lists on my paper notepad and Remember The Milk.

But that’s what holidays are about. And after hotly anticipating crossing last year’s 23 December finish-line, weeks in advance might I add, and wondering if I’d ever recover my… mojo, it happened. As I say, that’s what holidays are about, especially year end holidays.

Anyway the channels have been awash – for some reason – with recollections of NYE celebrations ten years ago – being NYE 1999 of course – #tenyearsago, and the like, so here we go, a few of mine…

• On NYE 1999 (for 2000) we went to Astrofunk, a long defunct dance party held at Sydney Uni. Anyone remember it?
• Prior to Astrofunk we were in Queens Park, to mark the witching hour, watching the city fireworks, as you do, when suddenly a strange old dude came stumbling out of the nearby bushes towards us, mumbling incoherently, and refusing to acknowledge anything we said to him, simply mumbling incoherently.
• It was a four to zero vote that we find a cab (near Queens Park, at midnight, on NYE – too easy) and actually get along to Astrofunk, post haste.
• I never saw that strange old guy again.
• While we did in-fact find a cab to take us to Astrofunk, we never went again, it went broke after that.
• I think. Or was that after the 2001 event. Anyone remember?
• We all sailed into the first decade of the new millenium and lived happily ever after.

And about not doing today what you can do tomorrow. It is in-fact a form of positive thinking.

Happy New Year.
