I gotta work this evening. My family tradition is to eat chips and dip, drink some bubbly, and watch Dick Clark. We have chips and dip we never opened for the Christmas party due to a wealth of other food. And we laid in stock of sparkling grape juice for tonight. Dick Clark's Rocking New Year's Eve is just not the same without actual Dick Clark. So I am totally good with watching whatever.
Do you see any goats around? No, because I sacrificed them.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
My upstairs neighbor got some Marx Brothers movies for Christmas, so I'll be bringing up a bottle of prosecco, watching until maybe 9, and then going to bed.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
We're going to the Cincinnati Pops concert with Morgan James singing, but should be home by 10:30. Tim's BFF lives 1/2 mile away and always has a huge house party on New Year's Eve, so Tim will probably go over there after we get home, but I will probably crank up the heated mattress pad and go to bed, because I am just not feeling a huge party tonight.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, I forgot a new place opened up down the street and was advertising a NYE party of some sort. I might check that out.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
We're staying close to home tonight. Mostly because of Mr. S, but also because it's below freezing here. A few friends are coming by. We'll go to dinner, then hang out for a while.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Made tonight's ham last night, so ham sandwiches for NYE dinner. Fine by me. Also planning on baking up the rest of the sugar cookie dough for maximum snackage. If I get really ambitious, I might make a loaf of hardo bread in ita's honor. I've been hankering for it all holiday season, and it would really make the sandwiches special. But it would also mean devoting the whole day to baking.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I went outside. It was terrible. Not recommended.

Our wings are not tired.
The New Years shows on television have been awful in recent years so I am more likely going to work on my backlog of recorded shows.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I've been watching Planet Earth II on Netflix.
