HAPPY NEW YEAR
Last night was our big night out. For my birthday we went downtown and got a room at the Paramount Hotel. I put on my party dress, which I normally wear on New Years Eve but since we're staying home this year I wore a day early, and we headed out. We had cocktails and then went to the Fox Tower theater to see The Royal Tenenbaums. Great movie -- we still haven't stopped talking about it. Then we went back to Dragonfish and their late night happy hour had started so we had specialty cocktails and sushi specials. This morning we slept in and then went out for breakfast (banana nut pancakes) and wandered over to Powell's and finally went home. The best birthday ever.

Tonight we're going to Aileen's for dinner and we'll probably come home early. I've got some stuff I'd like to do tomorrow and we're still trying to see Vanilla Sky.
