Oh shit, news is telling me that a local pumping station lost power due to the wind, hence water. Which is really close to me. So I'd better go pee now.

Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

I have no Thin Man, but I DID get to see the latest Leverage ep on surf, etc. Yay. That was a nice surprise as one never knows when something will show up there.
My supper was lovely and I'm about to do the wash up with a glass of sparkling cider.
Netflix gave me Hidalgo today. Is is a good NYE option, or should I go with an old standby?

Damn, Liese - great menu!
I should disco-nap before heading over to a friend's party, even though I know I won't make it to midnight.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Damn, Liese - great menu!
Heh. And sticky rice, of course. The ahi turned out great. We called my mom from in front of the Japanese grocery to tell her they had some nice sashimi and did she want us to buy some.

Oh right! I should find some place to get sashimi tomorrow.

Liese, are you at your mom's place or have you made it home yet?
Kat, I just showed DH the cardboard rocket and he wants to know why we don't have one.
Cash, you should get one. I'm not sure more than one kid can fit at a time, but damn, it's fun.
They also carry the nicest toy kitchens I've ever seen.
Speaking of kitchens, K told me we can't give N his toy kitchen (currently in two 60 lb boxes in the dining room) until their birthday in March. WAH.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
mac is down, I am headed that way soon - tomorrow we have plans with one of mac's friends and parent to the Planetarium and Museum of Natural History.
Tonight I am loading up the downloading queue - many of the LPs I want to get rid of are not on LALA (I think many are oop or never on CD, but they are torrents/torrented/available as torrents - you know, out there on the internet machine. And mac is almost done with some of the cartoons I had downloaded last year, so I am re-stocking for him also. Seems like a good thing to do overnight.

OH! So you got it! Cool! Maybe you can stealthily set it up in the garage? (I can feel K giving me the stinkeye now.)

Art Crawl!!!
I'm sad that there seem to be no Fred and Ginger movies available tonight.
I need to get dvds of those.
My fabulous NYE dinner was bread, nutella and a honeycrisp apple.
