The best holiday of the year is near!

[rumsfald]

Agreed on the awesomeness of New Year's Eve, though I would not say I love it more (or less) than All Hallow's Eve or North American Thanksgiving or American Independence day, which all have their own charms and customs.

I have dinner reservations for me and mine at the best wine bar in town, after which we will stroll to the park and watch the fireworks. Hopefully it remains as mild as the last few days have been so we can stay outside longer, and perhaps bring the dog along.

Makes me wish I lived in Europe where it is ok to bring your dog into restaurants and stores.

Dogs smell. Get a cat.

North American Thanksgiving

Which one?

Seems my plans fell through. Couldn't get a ticket for the new years party I was planning on going to, but unfortunately all my other friends I was going with did. I do have some fallback plans I could do, but I've already told them I wasn't coming in lieu of something else, so I don't know if I want to show up now. :-\

I was planning on partying with friends down at Baltimore Harbor, but now it's freezing cold with 40 MPH+ winds, so we may just be bar hopping instead...

I was planning on playing games, but the weather is perfect outside, so I may just be playing games instead...

Now that New Year's is 2.5 hours away for me, I know exactly how I'll spend NYE.

Alone and afraid.

Actually...
* Finish watching LSU defeat Georgia Tech
* Achieve satisfaction with new home network
* Play Diablo II with a friend
* Watch some fireworks at midnight
* Treat Mom to a birthday din-din tomorrow

New Year's is good for a day off and some pretty skylights.  Beyond that, him and I aren't what you'd call "on speaking terms".  I'll take New Year's Scrooge for $100, Alex!

Still, though, Happy New Year, BRB'U, and please celebrate responsibly!  i.e. don't get drunkdriver'd.

"Heh heh, you missed!"  >bazooka<

Living out in the country is great.  Over the trees in the distance beyond the sugar cane fields that surround my domicile, I saw some really wicked multicluster candles, a *lot* of them, that I've never seen before.  Well, not wielded by "civilians", anyway.  Jolly good show, local area.  Jolly good.

[NiceGuy]

Happy New Year!

Got drunk last night with friends, a good time was had. We decided to stay in and celebrate instead of going out and waiting in lines at the clubs and paying ridiculous amounts for a cover. So we had the fridge stocked full of beer and liquor after we went out for sushi and the total bill between the wife and I came out to be $120! That's not so bad considering one of the places we were thinking about going to was charging $60 cover.. PER PERSON! And that's just to get in the door

I loved that show, best episode was the municipal defense force power rangers spoof.

I stole advertising window-clings and put them up at different establishments. Did you know Blockbuster now sells a $.99 Bacon Double Stacker?

Also, I made disgusted faces at my $35 bottle of Talisker single-malt because I'm sick and can't touch alcohol.

I do believe that was a stand alone manga as well...

If you guys haven't seen it, you should see Puni Puni Poemi as well, it's just three episodes but total hilarity.
