WHAT? It's good for you! And tasty! And very...not an adult beverage, heh.

I no right?! =D With the exception of an act of God my morning will be the same as usual...how about yours?

So what's up with Dick Clark? Did he simply get 'that' old or did he have a stroke? His voice and speech patterns are all messed up, but he's still
a trooper...bless his heart!

Happy New Year...LOL!

He had a stroke, I'm afraid!

Mr. N and I were just laughing about all these other people -- Ryan Secrest (sp?) and ... Kelly Pickler (?) -- in comparison, Dick Clark was like a bastion of sanity.

Oh I know what you mean...I was watching it, too. I've had my barf bucket handy just in case. hee

Dick Clark always was a class act, as far as I'm concerned. I'm so sorry he had that stroke...but he still has his style and dignity. Kudos to him!

The hype, hyperbole etc. is why Kelly and I chose to watch Firefly instead of New Year's Rockin' Eve.

I definitely feel I got the better deal that way. Heh.

Out of curiosity, who said "It's life-changing"? And ... about what, exactly? Watching the ball drop? The new year in general?

Out of curiosity, who said "It's life-changing"?

The bimbo who was co-hosting, someone named ... Kelly Pickler, I believe. She was like every blonde joke you've ever heard, and reminded me of the woman reporter in Woody Allen's Annie Hall who kept saying the Maharishi whoever was "transplendent."

This Kelly Pickler person was talking about the "whole New Year's Eve at Time Square" experience. Apparently it is a life-changing event.

*snerk* Mr. N and I just howled.

Really? I'd better be there next year.

Ugh, I don't know. I mean, on the one hand I do see the point of going; it would be kind of cool to attend the gigantic party and be in the middle of it. But on the other hand I ask myself, in the middle of what, exactly?

Would I really want to spend that much money on traveling, just so I can get jostled and crowded by a bunch of drunken people desperately trying to Have Fun? To stand for hours in the freezing cold, while several flavor-of-the-month bands I don't even like play songs I can't stand?

But maybe I should, since it'll, like, totally change my life.

Well, what I told Mr. N was that it might be fun one year to do a special anniversary or birthday trip to NY and blow a wad splurge on a room at the Marriott Marquis, which overlooks Times Square. That way you could see everything that was going on but you'd be ... er ... above it all.

That's the only way I could see doing it, because I'm not a big fan of crowds. At all.
