Merry Unbirthday
January 07, 2004

Some people didn't notice the last time I mentioned this, so I'm sure it will still come as a shock to some people when I write that I've moved my birthday to June.

Officially, my birthday was Sunday.  Actually, I want to change the way I've been saying how this works.  My birthday is on January 4th.  I'm choosing to celebrate my birthday on June 4th.  So while I am, for the record, 30 years old, I won't be celebrating (or otherwise recognizing) this fact until June.

New Year's Eve 2004
January 01, 2004

For readers who don't know, I was in Times Square for New Year's Eve this year.

A while back - like, before New Year's 2003 - my mom had considered aloud getting a room in Times Square to see the ball drop.  I told her that there photos was no way she could get a room so soon to the event, and that it might not be possible at all.  So when she asked, "If I get one, will you go?" I agreed.  Not so much because I didn't believe she could, but on the off-chance that she did, I didn't want to miss out on the opportunity.
