I always have black eyed peas for new year's! Fortunately I have two new year's day brunches to attend and I know there will be hoppin' johns at at least one. Yum!
Hell, I don't know. If I had wanted schooling, I'da gone to school.

Leaving aside the Obami thing, weren't most of those pretty foreseeable in 1969? Still impressive.

MotherFUCKER. Why is it people discover high profile oopsies (their own in this case, but I had to fix it) right before lunch the day before a holiday when we're very lightly staffed and freak the fuck out over A MISTAKE THEY MADE AND DIDN'T NOTICE FOR EIGHT DAYS?!! Email BOMB.
I'm not very generous, I think they should have to live with their mistake. And possibly be tasered. But TPTB aren't me. So. And of course, they freaked the fuck out during the time I was gone for 2 hours.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I semi-regularly have hot dogs and sauerkraut on NYD as a nod to pork and cabbage, and may again this year! Oh, but I think family dinner tomorrow will be tourtiere and brussels sprouts, which also covers those bases. Sweet!
For New Year's Eve, I will have pub cheese and possibly pear wine. And maybe American Horror Story!

Also, I need food. I have very little in the house. And I'm really goddamned hungry right now.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
They let us go home two hours early, so here I am. We're going to First Night Alexandria, as we often do on NYE.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I'm at work, but we are having neighbors over tonight for ham.

My coworker and I left at 3. An hour early for him, an 1.75 hours early for me. I bought some stuff for supper, and I think I may see how Death at (in?) Pemberly is.

I would walk a 5K right now quite cheerfully if it weren't so goddamn cold outside.
Well, I was going to make dal, but I only have red onion. Target had no white onions and one very suspicious looking yellow onion that I chose not to buy. The closest grocery was a Dominick's, and they shut down on the 28th, so I've decided to have broccoli mac & cheese instead.

This is freaky. He got so much right!
Huh. Not bad, Brunner.
My upstairs neighbor always does hoppin' John and greens for our New Year's brunch, and my neighbor across the way usually brings sausage balls, so I'm covered.
Is anyone making plans/resolutions for 2014? I'm hoping to spend at least a month trying Tai Chi and I'm also planning on listening to Wagner's Ring cycle.
ETA, Death Comes to Pemberly, Sue? I saw the first two episodes last weekend and quite liked it.
