Happy 2008.

[schild]

May at least one of you keep your Made-To-Be-Broken Resolution!

[NiX]

12:00 AM - Phone call from crying ex. Her phone dies 4 minutes in.
12:05 AM - Phone call to mom, today is her birthday and that it always upsets her. She's crying too.
12:15 AM - Phone call from female friend bitching about guy who knocked her up..yadda yadda.
12:20 AM - Turn my cell phone off.

I hate New Years.

[Signe]

I'm always striving to acquire better resolution. 

Happy New Year! 


Poor Little NiXel! 

[JWIV]

I  just finished hosing off puke from my carport due to the fucking amateurs that were populating the bar next door.

The fireworks this year over the Inner Harbor however kicked ass.

[Tairnyn]

I spent the last 10 minutes of 2007 perplexed that they would have Dick Clark continue to host the New Year's Eve Show in his current state. While I feel bad that he suffered a stroke, his speech impediment and inability to convey emotion makes him hard to watch as a television personality.

[WayAbvPar]

Happy New Year. Of the nearly 30 people I invited to a party, I got positive responses from 4. I canceled the party and played poker instead.

[Samwise]

Some motherfucker chugged all my good scotch while I wasn't looking.   

My New Year's resolution is to be less trusting of humanity.

[Yoru]

I ended up hanging out with 3 people I knew in a bar in the ghetto.

I ended 2007 with Craggamore. I started 2008 with Laphroaig.

It better be a fucking good year.

[Der Helm]

Happy New Year! 

I am back home (it's 13:09)  and a wee bit tired.

Good night.


 

[Tebonas]

Back home finally! Was hanging around a four star hotel with my girlfriend (her daughter works there) and had fun playing Waldorf and Stettler with the rich folks. That was more fun that it had any right to be. Happy new year folks! :)

[Nija]

 

Happy new year, you flamers.

[lamaros]

spent all day in sun today; now look like lobster.

happy new year.

[Merusk]

Seems like everyone has new years traditions of various oddity.  Big surprise!

Ours is eating Taco Bell while watching movies (Last night it was "Meet the Robinsons" and "Back to the Future 3") then watching whichever New York countdown is the least obnoxious (NBC won this year.). At midnight we take the call from whichever kid spent the evening with the grandparents before we hit the bed.   - Oh, and don't forget to put the quarters by the front door, too.

Yes, we're exciting folks.  Happy New Year to y'all.

[Jayce]

No traditions, no hosing of puke, no time in jail. My new yearses have definitely gotten more tame.

We usually watch the countdown on NBC, but I can't take Carson Daly.  I'll watch all the stroke-impaired Dick Clark you can give me before a minute of that hack.

Happy 2008 to all!

[stray]

Happy New Year.. I don't even know how I'm awake right now. Last night was a disaster.

[Trippy]

Happy New Year everybody!

May 2008 be for you.

[SnakeCharmer]

Fell asleep at 11 pm watching Pirates of the Caribbean 3.  Woke up this morning on the couch, snuggling with my 80 lb boxer.  Wife comfortably asleep in the bed.

[Soukyan]

Happy New Year.

[Phildo]

Happy New Year.

[IainC]

Spending time with the in-laws in Colorado currently. Mother-in-law died of cancer yesterday. New Year party time failed to ensue.

[voodoolily]

We ate rabbit pate and cassoulet at our favorite restaurant (with pear martinis and prosecco) and then wandered over to the patisserie that made our wedding croquembouche and were delighted to learn that the purchase of a drink afforded access to their CHOCOLATE BUFFET! We were entertaining a friend from out of town who is a taster at Wine Spectator magazine. Then the three of us went over to the friend's B&B and drank more bubbly until 4 am. Considering we usually can't even be bothered to stay awake until midnight this was pretty fun. Got up at noon today and feasted on leftover lamb and couscous.

It's a good year.

also, sorry about the mom-in-law, Iain.

[stray]

Well, I went to some party that I thought was gonna be lame, but ended up meeting someone who was practically the girl of my dreams. Feisty as hell, funny, working on a Phd in Psychology, cute. Later on, we bailed together to hit another spot downtown. The minute I get out of the car, I started stumbling behind her and her friend and just started puking right on the sidewalk. They turned a corner completely oblivious... 30 seconds later, I start walking again, but they're nowhere to be found... Tried backtracking to the car, but I didn't look at what fucking car I came in.. So I was screwed. Just started wandering downtown San Antonio in 35 degree weather, completely shitfaced, trying to wing down cabs to no avail. Finally made it to a Denny's and a pay phone, got all my fucking quarters eaten up. Then pissed off a buddy by making a $15 collect call at 3:00 am. Go me. 

[Strazos]

Did you get her number? 


Also, I was reading "End of Hyperion" when New Year's came around. I was in bed by 12:30.



Who the fuck goes to shop at GameStop on New Year's Day? Fucking assholes with little monster children, that's who.

[stray]

No. I was a little too busy to be asking practical questions like that.

She's like a "friend of a friend of a friend" though, so I might be able to track her down. Just don't think I should even bother after that mess.

[Hoax]

Don't be such a pussy, track her down, tell your original friend (girl I hope) that you really liked her and want to hang with her again.  Girls love setting up their guy friends, usually.  Its always regrettable to wait a month claiming its not worth bothering to do anything and then you'll realize you wish you'd at least tried to get with her.


My new years:  Went well, though we didn't manage to go anywhere amazing it was successful on the female front.  My fucking pinky on my left hand may be almost broken its so fucking painful.

[Lantyssa]

I played games, watched a few episodes of House, then went to bed.  Exciting, I know.

[Abagadro]

Stayed up late and watched Repo Man.

May your new year be intense.

[Signe]

I rang in the New Year in bed, sick.  Righ and the kitties celebrated by dancing around the bed, drinking whisky and dancing a jig.  Maybe I was dreaming.  I'm still feeling very icky but I can move about the house again.  Righ did come up to see if I was alive.  He so sweet. 

[Surlyboi]

Rang in the new year with the missus and a bottle of expensive sake.

It got better still after that. Hope everyone else's year rocks hard.

[Johny Cee]

Met up with folks at the bar to chill at 5:00 PM until the time of our dinner reservations.  My sister-in-law was announcing the fact that she's 2 months pregnant,  so the ladies cruised Church Street and chitchatted while the guys sat around drinking.

Dinner was excellant.  The place was chosen by my sister-in-law,  which always brings the fear that the wallet is going to be assrapezored.

Had (http://www.lamante.com/menu.html):

SFORMATO DI FUNGHI - MUSHROOM SOUFFLE WITH PARMESAN CREAM
ROASTED CHICKEN WITH TRUFFLED MASHED POTATOES, GRILLED LEEKS AND ROSEMARY JUS

Washed down with Magic Hat.  Best chicken I've had in ages,  though I was very envious of the duck dish, the swordfish dish,  and the carmelized onion and gruyerre tart.  The souffle was splenda.


We then enjoyed expensive cigars on the walk back to the hotel bar,  where we could chat and catch up without being annoyed by loud people overacting to New Years.  I bailed at 11:30,  due to extreme fatigue,  though everyone else kept going until after last call.

Turned on Cartoon Network to watch the "Fry makes a deal with the Robot Devil" Futurama episode (this episode has such great lines, and packs the most emotional punch for me) while I difted off to sleep.

[Phildo]

Currently in an airport hotel.  At 4 am, I will be waking up for a flight to Aruba.

[Signe]

You became suddenly married! 

[Margalis]

Went to a party. Ate lots of finger food. Drank half a bottle of cheap Whisky. Drank half a bottle of champagne. Played a very long and contentious game of Cranium that consisted mostly of people yelling a lot. Got home at 2 AM or so. Watched Law and Order until 6 while lying half passed-out on couch.

You became suddenly married! 

Halfway. I just call her that 'cause it's easier than calling her "the chick I shack up with".

[Signe]

Ok.  Phew!  I was worried because I have a smiley face and a picture of a wedding gift all picked out for when you do.
