Happy Nyuk Nyuk New Year!
It was a wild New Year's but not in the way you think. I live in a guest house and my landlord saw fit to have solar energy installed starting mid-December. The job got delayed due to extra requests and add-ons and suddenly we were smack in the middle of holiday week.
Send in the clowns. Rather than leave well enough alone and take a small vacation, the company decided to soldier on by sending in their non-regular crew. Which resulted in a guy shorting out the power midday on New Year's Eve. I got ready for a party by flashlight. Just think, "Hair and makeup by Freddy Krueger" and you get the picture.
New Year's Day was the same. Freezing in the dark. Which, granted, is not the same in Los Angeles as it is in Chicago or London, but it's been unseasonably cold here. The first day of the new year was also my target to begin adapting Hard Bite into a screenplay. So I wrote in a down jacket by "flashlight chandelier," which is made by tying twine to three flashlights and looping it over the light fixture so they shine down on the computer. The writing carried on.
Happy Nyuk, Nyuk New Year everybody!
