We are ordering in Thai food and catching up on TiVo. I am planning to make out with my husband like crazed party weasels at some point, too, but we may not make it to midnight because we are just that boring.
There are cockroaches in Mexico big enough to own property.

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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I kinda want to order in tonight, but we have the babysitter coming at 6 for a couple of hours and mac won't want anything but chicken fingers. might as well save the money and maybe take myself for a lunch on Sunday.
mac wants to stay up and watch the ball drop, so we will see about that.

This may be the most ridiculous/awesome thing I've ever seen:
It's a cross between Barbarella and soft core porn styling (totally SFW, but you'll see what I mean. It's a "rock opera" put together by the California Milk Board and the songs are hilarious!

Would it be his first NYE awake? That's something to get excited about.
I have an invitation to an NYE party in the next town over, and if there's no more snow, I may actually make it over....

Ms. Belle, a friend of mine was looking for a tape of the ball dropping so that she could try to fool her kids into thinking that it was happening at 9PM :)

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

Heh. But don't they have the new year lit up in bright lights next to the ball?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm supposed to have dinner with family at the hotel restaurant, but the reservation my grandmother made is for 7:30 and they have no kids menu, so we may stay in and order take-out instead. Either way I will probably be toasting the new year around 9:30 and then conking out. (With my customary one-glass-of-champagne-allowed-while pregnant.)

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
The only Tom Hanks movie I still like is Big. The one I can't forgive that comes to mind is The Green Mile, even more than Forest Gump.
KBD and I are also having a low key night. We're cooking steaks for dinner and watching 9. I've been making him watch LoM UK but he seems to prefer the US version, even preferring Keitel to Glenister as Gene Hunt. Heretic.
We watched District 9 last night. About five seconds in, I realized/remembered that it was PJ and therefore going to be very gross. I was not wrong. Still not sure what I thought of it; I think I want to go back and read some critiques on lj.

District 9 is one of the best movies I ever saw, but it's not for the faint of heart.
