I have to do the same thing every year. Jon works, so I'll be there.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
No NYE plans here. Thought I'd go to the fancy new bar that opened up but they want a $20 cover. No frickin' way. Even if I could afford that. So I'll probably continue sewing my dress (if I haven't finished it yet) and packing for my trip. Since I have a gig, it's more important than ever that I not forget things at home.

There were plans and then there was the sick, so.

I think we'll be at our beer bar for NYE. Should be fun. If we're up to it.
I am not feeling up to much right now.

My upstairs neighbor is hosting both a NYE party and a NYD brunch. I bought a couple of bottles of prosecco to contribute to the evening, and I may see about making cinnamon rolls for brunch, too, depending on how ambitious I feel on the 1st.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
There were plans and then there was the sick, so.
Yep. Same here.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
M is working the Hangover Brunch at 6 a.m. on NYD, so it'll probably be a quiet night of Fallout: New Vegas and Coronas for us. Maybe sushi from our favorite joint, if we're feeling wild & crazy.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Matt, Creation Cons are such a scam. If you really want to see Kavan Smith, find out which day he's going to be onstage the most, and then go the day of an buy a day-pass. It's much cheaper than any of Creation's package tickets and you won't feel so much like cattle.
That's definitely the plan if I go at all. That big Angel con Creation put on in 2004 was worth going the whole weekend for, but there were multiple guests I wanted to see/hear throughout the event, a Kane concert, I had several friends in attendance to hang out with, and I was flush with cash at the time. And, of course, the once-in-a-lifetime chance to get David Boreanaz to refer to Christian Kane as his bitch in front of thousands of people.
Getting a package deal for the special dessert and charity breakfast functions would be mildly tempting, but I recall that it's fairly awkward if you're sitting with people you don't know as celebrity guests do the musical chairs thing for a few minutes at each table. (Stephanie Romanov was a hoot, but I wouldn't pony up multiple days' worth of convention costs and hotel stay for a repeat of the experience.)

Punishingly Intricate
grr irritating work issue means that, although I have tomorrow and Monday off, I will have to be checking my email and, possibly, responding to pissed off users and fixing things for them. Awesome!
