Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
When was the last time you had fun on New Year's Eve?
Every year since high school. But I love dressing up, I love champagne (Kir Royales!), and I spent it at one party, with my good friends and good food, good tunes, and the knowledge that there's always a pillow, blanket, and bit of space for me to crash, if it becomes necessary.
And coffee and mimosas the morning after, if there's any leftover cham.
When was the last time you had fun on New Year's Eve?
Probably New Year's 1999 ---> 2000. A group of us went to Nantucket for the weekend and we all threw in for a couple of really good bottles of champagne (plus several bottles of servicable champagne like Veuve Cliquot yellow label). I believe we had a Dom Rose and a Krug Reserve as our top of the pops. I've had OK low key New Years since, but that was the last lotsa fun one.
Dear The People Who Stand Directly In Front Of A Revolving Door, Thus Preventing Anyone Currently In The Revolving Door From Exiting,
Elbows are a wonderful thing. I have also developed a particularly musical "Comin' through! Comin' through!" bellow that I employ when people on the T are not making way for people getting off the T. But there's more satisfaction in elbows.
I should make t-shirts that say:
New Yorkers aren't rude, Tourists are slow.
I'd make a fortune.
So Ford can also be blamed for setting up the takeover of the Reagan White House by Baker and GHWB.
Blamed? Despite voting against Bush senior, I didn't really regard their coming to power as a bad thing for the country.

Oh, man -- Veuve Cliquot is my favorite champagne! WAY more than serviceable. It's just so creamy. Mmmmm.
Last year's NYE was lots of fun, though it was fraught with what we thought was a visit from the police, and that's all I'm going to say in a public forum.
You should totally do the karaoke with Juliana. I bet Daisy Jane is a karaoke queen too.
Oh, lord. This would be SO MUCH FUN. I love the karaoke.

Dude, what Steph said. It is most tasty. It's not my favorite champagne/sparkling wine, but it's definitely in my Top 5.
Announcement: I have been eating muffaletta for breakfast and lunch for the past few days.
Analysis: I will be approximately 5 million pounds by the time this sammich is gone. Also, the olive tapenade is the Way and the Light.
Did anyone post that erinaceous was quoted here: [link]
Cool!
For Christmas, I got S a book called Grammar Snobs Are Great Big Meanies, and erinaceous is name-checked fairly early on in the book. I haven't read it all the way through, so I don't know if she's mentioned again, but it was neat seeing her name there.
Elbows are a wonderful thing.
Elbows won't work since I'm usually still trapped in the door, although I probably could kick their shins.
New Yorkers aren't rude, Tourists are slow.
Oh my god, downtown Chicago has been dead in the morning this week, but by afternoon it's filled with tourists who walk too slowly and talk too loudly and cluster together, clogging the sidewalks and doorways. Taking public transit is an event, and they won't shut up and let people read in peace.
They keep asking me for directions. They're lucky I'm not more malicious. And two guys stopped me in the grocery store last night for help locating things, and not in a hitting-on-me way. I feel like a shepherd this week, or some shit.
Also, Trudy if you make that shirt, I will buy it. I will also make one that says: In San Francisco, they're not tourists, they're obstacles.
