Netflix gave me Hidalgo today. Is is a good NYE option, or should I go with an old standby?
I liked Hidalgo! And IIRC, it won't make you end up crying in your sparkling wine, although there is violence, and Hidalgo gets injured at one point.
Tara: What's so bad about them coming here? Aren't they good guys? I mean, Watchers, that's just like whole other Gileses, right? Buffy: Yes! They're scary and horrible!

Heh. If I could pull my salary and bennies taking care of my friends' and brother's kids and stay here... shit.
My SIL, after watching me deal with the boys for most of the week, asked me in a quiet bonding moment "SO WHY THE FUCK AREN'T YOU A MOM LIKE ME, DAMNIT?" It was funny and flattering.

Happy New Year people! And with that, I'm going to bed.

Thanks Shrift, I'll give it a go.
I'm feeling last minute virtuous having whipped up a homemade batch of soft scrub and getting my bathtub and kitchen sink to gleam. With cinnamon essential oil. YUM.
Now just waiting for the clock to turn.
Happy New Year everyone!!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Happy New Year!

Happy New Year from Egypt, everyone! Wish me a good flight back, as I'm leaving for the airport. Down side: three flights. Up side: at least I don't have eight hours to kill in Amsterdam this time.

Good Flight! and Happy New Year!
I guess it is 09 on the East Coast now, isn't it?
Alan Rickman is also going to be on the Queen's New Year's Honor's List.

Happy New Year to everyone!
I just finished watching a History Channel show on the French Revolution (blood and terror and Robespierre--yay?), and have the NYC celebration on mute (only way to watch Carson Daly).
I'm sad that there seem to be no Fred and Ginger movies available tonight.
Yes, this! I grew up with Fred and Ginger films being the only thing on tv when I babysat on NYE (pre-VCR and cable), and totally associate the two. I did see Fred on last night's What's My Line rerun, so that was a plus (he didn't do a good job of disguising his voice, so they figured out who he was pretty quickly).
Oh, TCM does have That's Entertainment running all night--that's a good way to see him! Bing and Satchmo are singing right now in Part Two.
ETA: Fred is now singing "A Couple of Swells" with Judy!!
