On Friday, I went to see “Les Miserables” with Yeva. I walked over to her place and we drove to get tickets and then we had about 30 minutes to get desert. That desert place is so delicious. Yeva’s new boyfriend Sergey joined us for the movie. He wasn’t really interested in the movie, he just came along to spend time with her (ah, new relationships!) and it was also the first time I got to meet him. They are getting a bit serious now - I’m just very glad to hear Yeva so happy again. Her break up seven month ago was really hard on her. But when she called me right after the New Year to recount their recent trip to Vegas, she sounded like herself again. Of course, I’m hoping for dinner soon so we could met Sergey properly, with conversation.

I also spent the first week of the new year, finishing the 14th book of the Dresden Files, “Cold Days” by Jim Butcher.

Tomorrow, Bear and I are going on our real delayed honeymoon. We just going on vacation really. We are going to Arizona to Grand Canyon. I’ve never been to a desert environment so I don’t really know what to expect. Pictures and TV and movies are not same and I’m looking forward to seeing it live. I did decide to have an internet break. I will put pictures up when I come back.

There is a new LJ community – RS Library –and it has compiled a list to all Remus/Sirius fests and their masterlists.

The first two weeks of December, until December 17th really, was the end of the semester and was filled with final exams and grading, grading, grading. It did help that my Writing classes this semester were small but still that week was just so much work. I needed the rest of December just to recover from that. I have been reading articles since then to decide what to teach next semester but mostly my brain just needed a break. Also I’m taking a break from tutoring until next semester.

December was a pretty eventful month so I figure I’ll just write up highlights as I sit on my parents’ couch on New Year’s Eve watching a silly and ridiculous Russian holiday concert. So here are some bullet points.

And today I’m celebrating New Year with my parents and Mama made a big delicious table. Happy New Year to everyone!
