I'll be initiating Yosemite download and going to bed after watching the fireworks. Hopefully it'll finish by morning.

Natter 73: Chuck Norris only wishes he could Natter
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I just got home. After a few years of dragging ourselves out, my friend C and I almost accidentally discovered that going out for early drinks and then retiring home to our respective dogs and couches made for a good entry to the new year.
I still need to schlep the dog out. Anyone want to come by and do that for me?
Or I'm impatient and start now. 2 hrs download to go....
I haven't decided if I'm staying up 'til midnight or not. I was up until nearly ten last night without even trying, so anything could happen.
Finally sampled cookies. Adding pecans makes that the dominant flavor over the bourbon and chocolate.
Dog has been outed. Not to her liking (she stayed out in the yard for SIX HOURS yesterday in under 5 degree temps) but good enough for government work.
I think I've OD'd on mashed potatoes. I had a big plate of them with garlic and cheese, and now my brain doesn't brain and I want to go to sleep at 9 PM. With large fireworks already started in the neighborhood, that doesn't seem like a workable plan.
Happy New Year, everyone! I celebrated with drinks and snacks at my upstairs neighbor's. All the joy of going "out" for NYE, but none of the sharing the road with amature drunks.
Happy New Year, East Coast and central time people!
I suspect I may be asleep by PST New Years.
A little Kurosawa, a little GotG, Prosecco, black-eyed peas, collard greens, sausage, my work here may be done. Fireworks are winding down, I most sincerely hope. Probably a good idea to turn my alarm off...
