What I did on my New Years Vacation
Jan. 5th, 2004 11:27 pmFor my New Years Vacation I did a few things:
I slept late every day, rising only at the crack of noon.
I stuck to my diet except for Christmas day.
I read several novels (all three Jasper Fforde plus The Watchmen and Years of Rice and Salt).
I watched some movies (RotK was fantastic! Love Actually was very cleansing for my eyes as I cried for the entire movie. Paycheck was a mistake at full price).
And, saving the best for last, I participated in a Tall Ships Cannon Battle in Long Beach Harbor. There are several pictures of the ships here, especially of the Lady Washington as well as details of our day at sea.
And this is technically a GIP. Because that's the Interceptor. And as we all know "there's no ship as can match the Interceptor for speed."

Date: 2004-01-06 11:19 am (UTC)Is Jasper Fforde the Eyres author? I've bought that but as usual haven't read it yet -- and a frantic attempt to neaten things left it shelved in a cupboard instead of out in the open when I might pick it up easily. Did you like it? What are his other books like?
Hope you have a better new year. I have been snowed in in Oregon, but with four cats and two nieces in the house, this was not dull. The snow was absolutely perfect, except to drive on.
