well, dick clark or not, 2005 is safely underway. sadly, i just realized that dick clark had a stroke, which i'm blaming for my lack of rockin' eve. apparently not so good with the news. i ended up working a late shift last night at work with everyone laughing at me for 1) not realizing about dick clark and 2) arriving 5 minutes late to the countdown just in time to see the mysterious meatballs on the buffet table getting cold and gelatinous, my co-workers already bored with the sparkling fruit cider, wondering what i could have possibly been doing that was more important than watching the ball drop. at any rate, my good blogmate pitched in this afternoon to resurrect my new year's day with a solid afternoon of watching girly tv (not that kind of girly movies! like when harry met sally and cheerleading competitions...) and making a low-brow new year's insta-food spread that would embarrass even the cabbage jello ring at mom's christmas table this year. oven insta-fries, insty-mini-egg rolls, potstickers, just-add-water apple crisp. top off the haute cuisine by grilling brats on the back porch while swilling beer, brat-flipping tongs in hand.
if it's true that the way you ring in the new year brings tidings for the year to come, i am in for some fun. with that, anyone for some resolutions?
1) harass my new co-worker who used to be a collegiate national figure skater for scandalous details on the behind-the-scenes skating world including who is gay and who just wears terrible spandex
2) try to find incriminating footage of said co-worker wearing embarrassing spandex
3) convince blogmate to continue boy-crazy adventures like hanging out in bars in ukrainian village on tuesday nights just in case the work clown she lusts for might stop by, not so that i can meet the clown, but so i can go drinking on tuesdays
4) more: margaritas, jameson, pbr, sunday bloody marys
5) less: banana flavored martini
6) more: instant asian food with suspicious but tasty mystery meat filling
7) less: cabbage-filled jello ring
8) more: fun
9) less: embarrassing myself at work by using the word "poop" while consulting with a more-important-than-me colleague before realizing i'm on speakerphone
10) more: bars filled with fireplaces, furry couches, or polite men cheering while watching gymnastics competitions
11) less: bars filled with guidos, frat boys, middle aged men all dressed the same
12) consider running chicago marathon
13) consider leaving my couch
