I got hold of both my sister and my mum on the phone later on Christmas Day (NZ time) and had a good long call with each of them. I guess days like this make me a little homesick, especially for Amber. For years, Christmas morning meant getting up at 6am and throwing my surfboards in the car and heading to Raglan for an early morning surf, kinda like my present to myself. Strangely enough, every single Xmas morning except for the last one turned out with some of the best waves of the year and only a couple of guys out surfing. I'm glad I'm here with IceQueen though. Talked for quite a while to my Dad over in Los Angeles, which was great - we haven't really had much if any contact at all for many years until just recently, so that was all groovy. Not much else to tell. IceQueen has to work today - we slept in so she didn't actually get to work until after midday, but hey, fuck 'em - it's Christmas. leave a comment

Wow. We certainly got a white Christmas with one of the biggest xmas day snowfalls on record for NYC. Parts of the city had over 6 inches of fresh snow, and the suburbs (or boroughs as they call them) up to 12 inches in some areas, although most areas like where I am got around 6 inches max. Today has turned out sunny although with strong winds, so most of that snow is melting or turning to ice pretty quickly. We did very little yesterday, just stayed in and watched the snow and generally weaseled around the apartment and played scrabble and stuff. I built a snow sculpture on the windowsill of our apartment with the snow that had accumulated there (they are deep windowsills, maybe 4 or 5 inches deep). I built a ..umm.. snow ..umm ..phallic kind of thing. Ok, ok, yes, I made an 8 inch high snow penis on our windowsill, complete with grossly oversized nuts. Hey, it was funny at the time.
