NYE & NYD Plans

Mister Jellyfish Mister · Post by **Mister Jellyfish Mister** » Fri Dec 31, 2004 7:32 am

I guess I was a casino bartender too long to appreciate using the word "party" as a verb anymore. Now that I'm out of it, a quiet New Years at home makes me feel successful.

We are absolutely snowed in here in Reno/Sparks, and I'll bet the playa got a good dusting too. Was going to get together with Kernul Killbuck today to check out eachother's artistry but I doubt he can even make it here. Regroup and deploy, Kernul?

Family NYE tradition is to get out a big next year wall callendar and a bunch of colored markers. First we line through all of our vacation days, that feels good. Then work days. Rewrite our family mission statement and put it on the 'fridge. Then we talk about and write our own goals. This year I'll laminate mine and hang them in the shower where my mind tends to wander. Well, maybe not. One thing I learned on the playa this year is the importance of a wandering mind.

When the ball drops in New York (9:00 PM here) we'll do the party favors and toasting, then it's off to bed for the girls... except for my beautiful wife who can hear the snow fall. "Same old face, same old eyes, same old glimpse of paradise" -unknown

Giggles- I don't know what to say. It must take nerves of steel. I've never been in quite that situation, but I've had enough of a taste to go AAAAAAAH!

Sorry I can't help any more than that.

So, like, what ARE the new plans for the day?

Hey, Lurker. Was that a post to me? If so, what makes you go AAAAAAAAH?

I've got a rocky hill in my backyard and it is conceivable that this will be the first year ever that we could sled down it without hitting a boulder. Could be fun!

Ha! Reading back. That had to be for Gigglesnort, Coworker Lurker. I get days like that too and they are evil.

Gigglesnort, you know... goosetape is stronger.

Seriously, I once read a letter by a foster care parent who dealt with a kid with duct tape experience. The kid hit his head in the tub in the foster home- must have hurt like a sonofabitch- but he didn't make a sound. Hate to think how he learned that.

Sorry, can't think of the duct tape/kid thing without thinking of that.

Anyway, hang in there. Make the barbie doll pay!

CWL, that's terrible. I would never really in a million years.......though I admit the nasty little thought does cross my mind......hmmm, but the barbie doll might just have to ......dissappear.......

Actually, salvation is on the way! My mom just called to let me know.....one hour until she arrives to whisk them away!

oooh......I better go wash the dishes or something.....mom's coming!

Actually, duct taping the Barbie might be the way to go... then look significantly at your child and say, "Do you want some of the same treatment?" If she says "Yes!", then you've got a leg to stand on when CPS comes to pay you a visit.

Better get that exchange on videotape, though, Sam.

But Giggles- few parents haven't fantasized. My ex and I usually talked about tranquilizer dart guns, though.

Myself, I get to see Guinivere sing tonight!

And tomorrow, I understand that Rob the Wop will be cleaning me and others out in poker.

I don't even remember which hand beats which, anymore.

oh yeah, baby....

rehearsal for the NYE gig went unbelievably well. Tonight I'm Gonna Rock You!

CoworkerLurker · Post by **CoworkerLurker** » Fri Dec 31, 2004 9:09 am

Well, I was wondered where you'd been. (Hoping it had something to do with rehearsal.)

Rock me? Oh, yeah, baby. But then, if I start anticipating too soon, I'll be an exhausted, quivering mess by 9:00.

For now, I continue pretending to work.

GuinivereElise · Post by **GuinivereElise** » Fri Dec 31, 2004 9:12 am

can't have you a quivering mess at 9... so, continue to pretend to work. Myself, if I could get over being angry at my Ingrate, I'm fucking STOKED!

Tonight, SuXena (pronounced Sue Zee Na) and I (pronounced eye) are swimming on over to the S.F. Sea of Dreams part; Our outfits are over the top; she is an awesome mermaid and I am the (gentle) ocean. Given the grim disaster in Asia, we have a lot of PR work to do. Tomorrow, we are participating in a midsize house party in Berkeley.

Our healing, consoling thoughts and prayers go out to all involved in the quake/tsunami disaster. We're sending our financial support as well ...

Peace on Earth.

Enjoy but be Safe! ~ Know Matter What

Note: Ingrates taste like chicken. There are always more being born.

Note2: Works sucks. I wanna go home to the hot tub.

can I come with, Rob? I'm in need of some snuggles and a nap...

Anytime dearie, but you'll have to leave the hot tub before you nap. S'alright though, I have a 6ft bean bag couch in the Green Room with a ton of fluffy green bathrobes for snuggling. We could listen to birds, look up through the roof into the giant maple tree, and watch the branches wave in the wind.

sounds perfecto.

just my style.

I only wish, sweetheart.

Come visit, and we'll go terrorize karaoke somewhere. (The gay bar I normally go to actually has a good crop of singers, you won't have to plug your ears TOO often....)

Thanks, Guin. I'm a big Hedwig fan. How 'bout "Wicked Little Town"? That kind of music leaves a stain on your soul.

Oi! Yawn... tired and nary a hangover even.

Ms. Guin was fabulous on NYE.. simply smashing.
And there's nothing like filling my shoebox apartment with eplayans on NYD. I think that, despite the midget porn which was inflicted on us, it's the most auspicious start to a new year ever.

Then NYD2 including dinner with RtW and Sensei, throwing in the Seattle Head Hos for drinks at Bleu.

Simply lovely.

Ya'll convinced me to have house parties more often .

Viva la bathrobe!!

I always thought that this was the real commercial use of cryogenics.

Coworker just reminded me:

Guin: 'No matter what you say, i will not be the midget.'

Yeah, right.

I'd also like to point out that i got the Wop eating in a vegan restaurant sunday morning. and liking it. of course, now he's saying it wasn't food....

yes, thank you.

no, really. that's lovely.
