I have invitations to two different parties tonight, after last year nothin' happening. So perhaps this bodes well for 2025 (on a purely personal level -- America may well burn to the ground, but I can at least watch from a comfortable seat.)
Buffy: So how'd she get away with the bad mojo stuff? Anya: Giles sold it to her. Giles: Well, I didn't know it was her. I mean, how could I? If it's any consolation, I may have overcharged her.
'Sleeper'
Natter 78: I might need to watch some Buffy for inspiration
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.

Well, good vibes as long as they’re useful, Vortex.
I’m going to my nephew and niece-in-laws’ NYE party, which apparently centers on board games. Suits me fine.

A little extra good vibes for Vortex
I'm going to my folks' place after work. I know mom has planned what we're having for dinner, I don't know what else the evening might hold. Remembered only after I got to work in my usual jeans and a sweater that I intended to wear something festive today. Oh well.

Does anyone have NYE plans?
Not now I don’t. Just got my first positive Covid test. Felt a cold coming out last night and by about 4 AM I was a wreck. Thanks 2024.

Oh no, Brenda! That sucks.
I am probably going to a dance event tonight but making it to midnight is still doubtful

Our wings are not tired.
Oh no, Brenda!! I'm sorry.
Still vibing for Vortex.
My big plan is to walk across the street to the beach and watch the waves roll in while listening to fireworks and partyers. I might get some champagne, or I might finish off the crémas. It's in the low 80s now, and the forecast is for 73F at midnight, so I expect there will be a lot of people on the beach, both locals and vacationers out and about.

The tv has been tuned to the Samsung holiday music channel to keep the dog entertained when we aren't here. The music has changed to pop hits, but the background images remain holiday scenes. This amuses me. Yes, I am easily amused.

After a momentary power glitch I went back into my computer and the WaPo Hurdle remembered where I was on the 3rd word! I had already forgotten the first one, but knew the second one. Phew. It was an end-of-year miracle.

That sucks, Brenda. Feel better soon.
I’m going to watch the new Star War and then go to bed tonight.
