Well, I survived day one of this year.\u00a0 It was fairly easy.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t get out of bed.\u00a0 Well, I did get out of bed at various times throughout the day.\u00a0 I just didn\u2019t stay out of bed.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t plan on staying in bed all day.\u00a0 It just sort of worked out that way.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Our New Year\u2019s Eve celebration of video games, bagna calda, and Riesling wine until 3:00 a.m. made it impossible for my body to even consider waking up until after 11:00.\u00a0 When my eyes finally did crack open and I stumbled out to the front room I found The Man taking down the Christmas decorations and watching some football game on TV.\u00a0 He had the storage boxes stacked up all over the living room.\u00a0 On the chairs, the coffee table, the love seat and even the couch.\u00a0 There was barely enough room for the dogs to find an uncomfortable spot to lie down in, let alone for me to recover from my wineover.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I bid him a good morning, made the obligatory offer to help which I knew would be turned down, then made my way to the kitchen to get that wonderful black gold.\u00a0 Coffee, that is.\u00a0 Cream, two sugars if anybody cares.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The sun streaming in through the kitchen windows grated on my retinas so bad that I made coffee with my sunglasses on and I still had to squint.\u00a0 There was no way I was going to be able to stay in the kitchen and retain what eyesight I have left.\u00a0 As soon as that coffee pot beeped that it was done, I fixed me a cup, grabbed my smokes, and headed back to the dark recesses of the house and the only television set I have any control over.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I figured that before trying to take on the rest of the day and the ever mounting pile of laundry, I would drink my coffee, scan through the channels, and let my head recover from the devastating effects of three glasses of wine.\u00a0 Yeah, I know I\u2019m a lightweight.\u00a0 It was a good plan too, if only it wasn\u2019t New Year\u2019s Day Splatterday on The Movie Channel.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The first movie I found was The Objective.\u00a0 I came in late on that one and I\u2019m definitely going to have to watch it again to see if I can figure out what the hell was going on.\u00a0 Then The Shortcut came on and since I had previously caught a snippet and it looked interesting, I had to watch the whole thing.\u00a0 After that was The Devil\u2019s Ground and by the time Rob Zombie\u2019s Halloween II was getting started it was dinner time.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

After dinner and cleaning up the kitchen, back to the bedroom I went.\u00a0 I caught the last part of Halloween II and then on to Sorority Row.\u00a0 I would have stayed back there to watch Eden Lake, Buried Alive and Severance, but The Man kicked me out because he wanted to go to sleep.\u00a0 I guess it would be a little hard for some to fall asleep with the sounds of breaking bones and people screaming bloody murder.\u00a0 Since nobody else in the house likes to watch those movies, I guess I\u2019ll have to save them for another day, another time.\u00a0 They\u2019ll be on again and probably again and again.\u00a0 That\u2019s the beauty of cable.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

All in all it wasn\u2019t a productive day, but it was entertaining.\u00a0 I do love horror movies, even some of the bad ones.\u00a0 For me, even a bad horror movie is better than doing a load of laundry.\u00a0 Especially, the whites.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I hope you all had a safe celebration and that this year will be a happy one for you.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
