Actually what I want to do is come see you and then go over to the Rose Bowl parade on New Years. Odds are better that I'll continue to sit here and do nothing.
Oooh DO IT! But instead of seeing the parade, it's more fun to go to the float viewing at the end of the parade where you get to get up close and personal with the floats.

OK, Sue, you just reminded me I'm still contributing to my retirement at a pretty high rate and if I need to, I could decrease it. I forget it is there, since I don't see it in my bank (and I check my paystubs maybe a couple times a year.)

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Pretty soon it'll be a Con Air-type setup.

Those won't take a plane down, though, now that the cockpit doors are lockable and made of granite/bulletproof-ium/whatever. If you can't get through to the flight crew, you can't kill them and down the plane.
If all you have back in coach is a fountain pen, you can't blow shit up, so you might as well play sudoku with it.

Words to live by.
Oooh DO IT!
I would love to. And yeah, I would be way more into the floats themselves than the OMGPEOPLE of the parade.
But I have this elaborate television watching plan for NYD. First, sleeping in, because we'll have some of the kids over for NYE, which I did by accident. Then watching the parade. Then the NHL Winter Classic. Then the Rose Bowl itself, go buckeyes. So I have to get any productivity done before that day, because I go back to work the day after. Hee.
I am so amped about the Winter Classic at Fenway. There's just something so fun and special about hockey played outdoors. I get all childhood nostalgic about skating on the pond, and I never played hockey. But somehow, it's just how it should be.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Funniest movie. Not that I think they meant it to be. But I only watch it for the lulz.

I'm pretty sure bomber's main name will be "Underpants Bomber". I see that all over the place. And yeah, TSA response to everything is to add to the misery of air travel in a way that does not actually make us more secure. It is almost as though the intent was to get public more and more accustomed to following senseless orders. Don't feel like wearing a tinfoil hat today, so I'll just put it down to "security theater is cheaper and yields more political benefit than actual security".
[On edit] One good thing though is that the TSA has dropped the idea of keeping people pinned to their seats the last hour. You will be able to get up to pee, and also use your laptop right up to the point they make you stop now. Obama may be continuing most of Bush's mistakes on a lot of big important issues, but at least he avoids petty pointless viciousness.
