Hello, New Year

Why, hello.

I started toying with the idea of starting up a new blog a day or so before New Years. I do like writing, and my current Tumblr isn't seeing much action on that front. I guess it's just an easier medium for posting links and pictures and songs and what not. I considered restarting my old blog, but I like that my old blog's end coincides with the conclusion of a pretty major part of my life. So here I am with the new blog: Fluffy White Dog. Why Fluffy White Dog? Because Fred's curled up next to me and he is fluffy and white.

There's the why of this blog.

The what of this blog is really just my personal going-ons. For instance, I spent most of today in Fullerton with my mom picking out colors for her (our) new house, among other things. I like the colors we picked (especially this gorgeous yellow that's going to grace the walls of the media room), but I'm a little apprehensive about how brown everything might get, what with some of the walls being of the brown-family, the floors being hard wood, my brown piano, my mom's brown (more like mahogany) china cabinet, and my mom's surprise purchase of a brown furniture set to go in the living room... which is across from the dining room which will likely house our current brown dining set, near a brown linen cabinet, in the same vicinity of a brown coffee table. Yes. I'm worried. So much so that I'm thinking of calling the painter tomorrow and imploring a quick change to walls that are less brown. Or at least a less coffee-ish brown. Something lighter. Maybe a white baby grand piano would spruce things up a bit. In any case, I guess if we do find that things have gotten too brown in the front half of our house, we can either move things around/get new furniture for the living room, or repaint the walls. No big, right? Right.

Anyway. Before I head off to sleep, I guess I ought to post my resolutions for 2011. I only have two of them:
1) be on time (to EVERYthing, even if it means I have to leave for all my appointments/etc an hour early) and
2) respond promptly to phone calls/messages/e-mails/etc. I recently realized that people are offended when they don't hear back from you in a timely manner. Sorry all. I'll be better this year, promise.
