I can't really get motivated to study for my final exam because it's not until Friday and I don't really expect to remember anything that I study this far in advance. I'm going to miss a small Chanukah party with friends too, but we've got folks coming over for latkes at least once during the holiday.
Kelly and I had a nice day yesterday. We went over to Harvard Square for a small amount of Christmas shopping, a really nice walk and lunch at John Harvard's. We swung by the Medford public library to replenish my supply of fiction, and then headed home where I actually managed to take an afternoon nap. I must have been really tired because I'm usually not able to sleep in the afternoon.
Last night, we headed down to a gay bar in Boston for my basketball league's annual Christmas party. This may have been the first time I'd really gone out to a bar since Boston bars went smoke-free. It was so nice that I could breathe and my eyes didn't itch. Afterwards, we wound up at Francesca's in the South End with another couple who were at the party. A very nice evening, with the usual empty speculation that we ought to get down to the South End more often (we won't, although it is a pretty good halfway point for meeting friends from JP).
Today's just a lazy day. Lots of reading and watching the football game. I sent Kelly off to a friend's birthday party without me because I wasn't feeling all that social. She's coming back soon and I'm going to cook chicken korma for dinner, which will make the whole house smell spicy.
