Dies natalis solis invicti!

Well, I'm far behind on updating about anything, but as it's the astronomical new year... now, I guess it's a good time to write at least a little.

I kept meaning to mention that I got a new job, but not actually getting around to it, so here you are: I am just starting my fourth week at Sonicbids, a web-based company to get bands booked with gigs. So far so good - and since my time here's already been 1/14th the duration of each of the last two places, in my book we're doing well.

I didn't wake up for the sunrise this morning, as I have done some years, because I'm apparently no longer willing to put sleep as my lowest priority, even if it's well removed from the highest. The sun seems to have come up, anyway, so I guess we're safe for another year.

Every time I see that icon, I think, "Why the heck is he drinking with . . . Oh. Yeah."

That's taking an awfully big chance. I mean, sure, the odds of the sun not coming up because you were asleep are very low, but when you take into account the downside, it's definitely worth your getting up at dawn *every* time. Simple cost-benefit accounting.

Yup, the world is a small place. That picture is actually from when C and I first met, at the first big Oktoberfest [livejournal.com profile] cat9 threw about four years ago.

Have you met my friend Pascal? I think you and he would enjoy wagering together...
