We’re heading out to Prospect Park in Brooklyn with a bunch of friends armed with a some hot mulled wine to watch the annual fireworks display. It’s always fun and this year should be quite an adventure with all of the snow. Happy New Year everyone!

If we follow the pattern of recent years we’ll give up the struggle to stay awake in a couple of hours.

At midnight we will be jolted out of a deep slumber by the neighborhood pyrotechnics experts.

Loudly proclaiming that 2011 can’t possibly be any worse, thereby jinxing myself.

Screw you, captcha. I won’t, and I’m not. The two are not unrelated.

I could not be more boring. After a very stressful holiday with a host of bad things happening, my physical resistance was down and now I’m sick. I took a cold capsule and cannot keep my eyelids propped open any longer.

Lamest.New.Year.EVAH.

HTP, one of the greatest things about living in the West is that when they drop the ball in NYC you can say “well it’s the New Year somewhere” and head off to bed!

Somewhere in Key West, an oversize shoe is missing its drag queen.

Oh wait, that hot mess is a woman?

Hmmm. Hey YAFB, what time is it over there?

It’s nearly the 2nd January already here.  My daughter went out to a party for New Years and me and my son danced to the Top 100 of 2010 - four New Zealand songs in the Top 10 including the Number 1 but I don’t know how it all came about ‘cos there was plenty of songs that should’ve been Top 10 and were number 70something - where was I…oh yes, me and him did that and then sat down to watch Pirates of the Caribbean.  He carked out with ten minutes to go but he’d insisted I wake him up before midnight so I’ve got a great photo of him dead to the world with two minutes to go and half awake at midnight.

Happy New Year all. :-)
