Midway island is near the International Dateline. During the Battle of Midway, some US planes took off on June 3rd, attacked the enemy on June 5th, and returned on June 4th.
I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Happy New Year, Eastern Time Zone! Welcome to 2008!

I noted the eastern turn o'the clock by realizing... I have no fucking clue when I got the second piercings of my ears. I know I got the first at 13. That was the allowed age. The seconds... well, it was before college. I've had these small silver hoops with silver-bead-blueglass(fading)-silver-bead in for a decade plus. Last time I took them out was for xrays when I was 19. Xrays no longer require that.
It was so OUT THERE when I had them, way back when in my hometown. And now? I forget they are there.

Aww, cutiesleepymac!
The bath was an awesome idea. Hot bath, advil, & a cup of decaf tea later, and I'm good to go. Getting ready to cuddle up in bed with Seabiscuit to wait for the SO to get home and the New Year to stumble in.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
I want to find two towns that are near each other but in different time zones. Then on New Years Eve I can travel back and forth between the two, committing crimes in first one year, then the next, then back to the first year, etc.
Just to inconvenience some poor administrative law enforcement person.
Try the Panhandle of Florida. It would be perfect for this type of caper.
Happy New Year!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Happy New Year Central Time Zone!
Will I make it to my own time zone? Signs point to no, but I'm making the effort.
