Happy New Year's, folks.

No resolutions this year, I'm afraid. I've only been able to keep one, ever, and that one's still going (go veg) so I'm going to leave that area alone. By the way, I haven't (knowingly/willingly) eaten meat in three years now.

I'll be spending New Year's with some friends back in the university town, which I haven't been to since I moved out of the dorm. I'm ready to go back. Love my little town though I do, I've missed BG. So, yeah. It'll be great when I have an apartment up there.

And then my bff, our moms, and I are going to a great pizza place on Saturday. It's one of the things the four of us do together and we haven't been in a long time.

And on Monday, I'm going to get my truck fixed. Poor thing's cruise control doesn't work.

And on Tuesday, my mom (and possibly bff) and I are going to Nashville to hang out and relax and spend the night.

And on Wednesday, I'm going to California or something, I don't know.

I went to see Avatar last night. You know, blue kitty-people on a planet covered with cuteness and happy times? Excellent movie. Highly recommend it.

But I'm actually posting because today, on Yahoo's homepage, I saw a news story about "hidden messages" [link] within the movie. Intrigued, I decided to read the article, but I was stunned by the first paragraph: "...some who have seen the film say that it contains hidden messages that are anti-war, pro-environment, and perhaps even racist."

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait a minute.

Hidden?

The article goes on to say that a bunch of people think the messages are, um, not hidden very well. Here I thought that's what the movie was about. :/ Surely no one who has seen the movie is surprised to hear that it was anti-war and pro-environment and, if not racist, at least a heavy commentary on racism? Do people even think about movies anymore?

I'm getting an apartment for next semester! This friend of mine is moving out of her apartment, so her roommates need someone else to move in. So they invited me!

My mom is nervous about it, since I haven't lived anywhere other than with her or in the dorms. But I like these women, the apartment is right next to campus with its own little parking lot, and it'll be great fun. Well, it'll be an experience. I'll have my own room, rent, and NPH nights. What could possibly go wrong?
