Brrrr... that's cold.
We're headed out in a few minutes to the desert for the day. Sandwiches and salads made. Water packed.
Xander: I still don't get why we came here to get info about a killer snot monster. Giles: Because it's a killer snot monster from outer space. I did not say that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
For the record, when the year has a 1 in the middle, they should not make those new years glasses! IJS.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Happy New Year, everyone!
I accidentally threw a tiny NYE party last night (had plans with one other couple, wound up being 6 of us altogether) which was lovely. The other couple brought a leg of lamb they'd been saving for a special occasion, a couscous salad, and I made roasted brussel sprouts and cauliflower with curry powder. My sister and her roommate brought nibbly things. There were champagne cocktails with cognac and chartreuse - I wish I could remember the name, they were very tasty. And we all watched The World's End and paused just before the epilogue to see the ball drop and toast at midnight.
DH did all the dishes so I got up early with the kids (4 hours of sleep, YAY) and I'm letting them watch Wall-E so I can have some coffee and interwebs.

I was out at a friends' low-key party where there was plenty of good food, fun talk, and party favors. It was a very good way of starting the year.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I stayed home last night and had some sake. This morning I was all set to go to my favorite breakfast place at 8:00, only to discover they open at 10:00. So I've just been sitting around waiting.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Happy New Year!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Happy new year, buffistae!
I hab a code, so we stayed in last night; a couple of friends and their charming infant came over for pizza and games, and I'm pretty sure the 2-month-old outlasted me given how alert and smiley she was when they left. Still, a fun low-key evening.
May 2014 be full of only the good kind of interesting times!

I went to bed at 1030 last night, but that does mean I was awake when my alarm went off at 8, and am ready to go run a 5k. Yay? God I feel old.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I went to bed at 8:30, set the alarm for 11:45pm, got up for midnight, tried to take the dog outside but he was having none of it (the fireworks were super loud, I don't blame him),read for a while, went back to bed with no alarm set, and got up at 6:30. But I am still working on making breakfast (something like a Spanish tortilla, because I have potatoes and a frittata pan). Efficiency is not my strong suit, it seems. But I did enjoy the sunrise and fed the birds so I get to watch them eat while I slowly get going, so that's nice.

You are not wrong. I thought they were recycling glasses from 2004 at first glance.
