this new year's eve i've spent alone on top of a remote hill. i was alone, but then some folks who knew too about my beloved remote hill came and went on lauchning fireworks. apart from that vivid demonstration of how diverse a human's psyche truly is—really, not a soul in sight, for the first time in my life, ever. and no cell reception either.

then i went back to my studio and tuned in a limesdr to listen to XXX's ATIS broadcast via an antenna that is more similar to a bunch of barbed wire than anything else. pure bliss.

thinking about making this a tradition from now on.

last year's novelty: being sober and happily driving myself home afther the party.

this year: no more parties.
