Happy New Year!
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

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

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!!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Happy 2009 everyone except the West Coast! See you in the morning!

Happy 2009 Central time. And all those times past and future.

Happy New Year to you East Coasters!
We had hors d'oeuvres and cosmos for dinner. Yum. I feel the need to plug TJs roasted pecan and blue cheese dip for those who like such things. I just went back and had a bit more of it. My MiL played the Devoted Son card on my DH and made him play chauffeur for her tonight, so he's dropping her back home right now. And thanks to msbelle I decided to make waffles for breakfast tomorrow. I've been wanting to try out a yeasted batter anyway so I made it up tonight so it can proof overnight.
