traditions, old and new
I haven't been watching much TV lately. Not broadcast TV, anyway. See, I actually had the New Year's weekend off -- three whole days -- and we spent most of that time watching "Queer as Folk" on DVD. Most of our shows are (still) on holiday hiatus, so we'd rented the final season from Hollywood Video, and that became our New Year's film fest. We're homebodies, so we usually just rent a truckload of videos and curl up on the couch for this particular holiday; it's become a tradition.
Now that we're done with all the QAF episodes, I'm going to miss our boys. At least I was happy with the series finale; it tied things up without feeling too pat, and left room for storylines to continue. After all, just because certain chapters of our lives come to an end, it doesn't mean our lives are over.
We did, of course, turn off the DVD player for about ten minutes on the 31st to watch Dick Clark do the countdown on the New Year's Rockin' Eve special. It's just not New Year's without Dick Clark, and I hope he'll be welcoming us to many more new years.
