The final all-nighter of 2011

I’m attending a party at a friend’s house and thus don’t have access to my laptop… I’m not used to the teensy-weensy keyboard on my iPhone, so I’m just gonna pound out a quick post here to wish everyone a happy new year and I hope that 2012 treats you better than 2011. If 2011 was a good year… just think about how awesome life will be starting tomorrow. Take care and have fun tonight, everyone.

Do they make flame-retardant chip dip?

I was at a friend’s New Year’s Eve party last night and he talked me into putting a few drops of Death Sauce on a chip and eating it (or Hell Sauce or Fire Sauce or whatever that spicy stuff is that’s supposed to singe the hair on your chest when you eat it). That led me to two discoveries:

1) I chewed it with the right side of my mouth and the burning sensation was only on the right side… at first.
2) It took about eight hours for the sauce to pass through my digestive system and it burned just as much going out as it did coming in.

Once again, I got nothin’

I’m too busy being lazy to think of anything really amusing and I can’t afford to be lazy: there’s a party to attend! And the weather is supposed to turn really crappy in a couple hours, so I should probably get up, run some errands and get wild and crazy for the rest of 2010! And by “get wild and crazy”, I mean “watch some movies, eat too many snacks, feel bloated when we ring in the new year and pass out into a food coma.” Same old, same old.

So to everyone out there on the Interwebz, I hope you have a very safe, very happy, very merry, very splendid, very very very spiffy New Year. Enjoy 2011, y’all. I’m sure it’ll enjoy you just as much.

Happy New Year!

I was watching TV at a friend’s place when the ball in New York Square was dropping. (Technically, I was watching it an hour later during a not-so-live TV presentation, but you get the idea.) Five seconds before it landed, my friend yelled out that everyone should lift their left leg, so we all stood stork-like in his living room, counting down until it became 2008.

A new year was upon us, at which point he explained that everyone had started the year off on the right foot. I hope you all did the same. Except maybe without looking like a bird holding a glass of sparkling apple cider.
