Happy New Years from katieofthesea.blogspot.com. We are all so happy to start a new year. Just kidding, I'm the only one who works on this site. How funny is 2011? And by funny, I mean how uncomfortably awkward is it to say two thousand and eleven? Which is what I've been saying, in case you were wondering. My good friend, Cara, explained to me that I can just say 'twenty eleven'. I choose to be more uptight about it.
I will now update you with my current favorite things.
I am really into wine, which is a brand new thing for me.
Just kidding.
I'm currently reading "The Art of Eating In" by Cathy Erway. It's the most amazing book I've read in a long, long time. I'm only halfway done, and I highly recommend it. Especially if you are a foodie. Or if you enjoy memoirs written by women.
I'm currently listening to the new Sara Bareilles album: Kaleidoscope Heart. And now because of her album, I can spell kaleidoscope on the first try. How colonoscopic! Hm. Wanta hear a funny story about her new album?
Just a moment, my ADD has something to say. She says, "Holy FUCK, why can I smell those mashed potatoes so clearly through this apartment wall?" I don't know man, just chill out.
Back to my story.
I just thought of updating my Facebook status to: "Writing so much right now. I will write you into a corner."
Back to my story.
My funny story about Sara Bareilles' new album is that I received a brand shiny new one for Christmas, was so excited about it, I played it wherever I went in my hometown. On the family
stereo, in the car, and then fatefully, on my brother's crappy CD player, which inevitably ruined it. So, when I returned home, I wasn't able to load it on my computer. But instead of blaming it on my brother or informing my parents (the gift givers), I just bought a new one on iTunes. What a FUNNY story. Tell me more, you say.
No.
Umm, here's a photo I took of myself yesterday afternoon, and I thought it would be funny to add this caption to it:
This is What Depression Looks Like
That just cracks me up.
Sorry, I'm not sorry.
Ready for my New Year's Resolutions???!!

My, look at those lofty goals. I mean ambitious.
On a sidenote, I had the most incredible time of my life (no exaggeration) December 31-Jan 5 this year. Quite an improvement from last year.
I'd write more, but I can barely focus anymore. On to something more interesting! UNT
