Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

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.

For the record, when the year has a 1 in the middle, they should not make those new years glasses! IJS.
You are not wrong. I thought they were recycling glasses from 2004 at first glance.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
It is a winter wonderland out there. I may wish I had snowshoes when it's time to go to the train tomorrow.
I think I'm going to make the squash soup I made for Thanksgiving and freeze some of it. That was a good hearty soup.

I am so in love with my new snowpants I can't even. I feel bad for all the hours my mom spent wrestling me into them as a kid, when I was too stupid to know that snowboots and snowpants are awesome.

Happy New Year, Buffistae!
I had dinner with my sister's family & Dad, and we toasted Mom and drank a really good bottle of cabernet. (Turns out my SIL had left it, and after we opened it I looked it up--it was a $75 bottle!) Then we went to a neighbor's house, where there was quite a nice party. But I drank too much over the course of the evening, and now I have a headache.
Breakfast was one of the sticky buns and a slice of fruitcake, and a big pot of darjeeling. Later there will be hiking.
Start the year as you mean to go on: I suspect that means I will have dirty bowls in the sink all year, but there's nothing new about that.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Woo, hungover on New Year's Day for the first time in years. I didn't even drink that much -- 2 beers, and then I switched to champagne after midnight. (Although I think I drank the better part of a bottle of champagne, so maybe I should amend that "I didn't even drink that much" to "Okay, yeah, I have no self-control around good champagne". But it didn't FEEL like that much! Which I suppose is the story of most of my hangovers.)
Drinking coffee and eating pretzels. Thinking about just watching Arrow DVDs for the rest of the day.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I made homemade eggnog last night and it was too rich for me to drink. So I poured it over our leftover pumpkin muffins, added apples and nutmeg and baked it into the Best Breadpudding Ever!
Which was a delicious breakfast this morning too.
Also, JZ and I stayed up and watched Eternal Sunshine before it expired from Netflix and we contemplated the meta-ness of it as we realized that we could rewind the movie and watch it again, but if we left the movie and went back to the Netflix menu it would disappear.
