Hope it's a great year, for all of you.
Had a nice night, personally, went to a friend's house for dinner though it was only three of us since three other pals had the norovirus and couldn't make it. Turned out to be really fun though, probably my two closest friends and we got wasted on really good beer and wine, plus there was an amazing meal.
Then wandered into a pub, with no plans, for the countdown, which was surprisingly fine. They played Snoop Dogg as the first song of the year and I met some other friends by chance, went back to theirs and drank champagne. Don't remember getting home.
Today I'm going to cook something meaty and unhealthy for dinner and watch movies with a beer or two. Not back to work till Monday :)

Ah, I contracted that on New Year's Eve of 2002. Woke up thinking I just had a really bad hangover. If only. The first few days of 2003 were memorable in all the wrong ways.

I spent it at a good friend's sister's place; she wouldn't let me drive home, which was a nice gesture. I awoke at 7:30 a.m., as is my wont, drove home, prowled ILX for 15 minutes, and did what I never do: went to bed. I awoke anew an hour ago and am listening to Angel Haze while drinking honey ginger tea. Lovely morning.

Happy New Years to all ILXors! I've resolved to quit smoking and so far i still haven't had one today, so i think i'll make it. I've actually quit before for a few years but then there was this woman i was interested in who smoked and for some reason i thought it would help my chances. It didn't.
I know I'm going to feel like a million dollars this weekend, i can't wait.

― *tera, Tuesday, 1 January 2013 23:44 (twelve years ago)
no black eyed peas here, but my first cooking project of 2013 will be tinga de pollo with scrambled eggs, which is one of my favorite dishes at my neighborhood mexican restaurant.
basically, i'm cooking some bone-in chicken legs (browned lightly on the stove) in the dutch oven, with a mixture of tomato paste, chipotles in adobo sauce, mexican oregano, garlic, cumin, guajillo chili powder, salt and pepper, bay leaves, cilantro, and a little milk for extra liquid (recipes recommend chicken broth, but i didn't have any). giving it about 3 hours at 200 degrees, then i'm gonna shred the chicken with a fork and scramble it into the eggs.
― gimme some reggae! (get bent), Tuesday, 1 January 2013 23:48 (twelve years ago)
Yeah i just noticed we have black eyed peas but they're dry and it would take until tomorrow to cook them.
Yesterday a friend of mine was so into eating tater tots, and we went out and got some, and it was great, but i had no idea if that is a tradition or not. Sounded like one!

We did vegetarian Hoppin' John and stuffed cabbage leaves for dinner, and drank up the rest of the champagne from last night (since we barely stayed awake long enough to drink one NYE toast). We also did not leave the house today. No reason to. I figure the rest of the world will still be there tomorrow.
― something of an astrological coup (tipsy mothra), Wednesday, 2 January 2013 02:29 (twelve years ago)
My NYE: my boyfriend and I DJed a ridiculous warehouse party in Baltimore at a space called The Coward Shoe. Also Djing: Co La, John from Art Department, and Amanda with video stuff by GSP (video dude for Dan Deacon and Animal Collective). Silly fun was had. Our countdown soundtrack was James Tenney's "For Ann (Rising)" slamming into Mariah Carey's version of "Auld Lang Syne". The PA was struggling and eventually crapped out for a while- subwoofer cables kinda weak, one speaker getting fried. Eventually PA got sorted and John Ehrens did a footwork/juke DJ set and some people with skills did the crazyleg stuff at blinding speed. My friend got so drunk that he was puking a *lot* so we drove him home and put him to bed then went back for more partying. Bummer: I lost my bowtie on the dancefloor and it was really pretty and made out of feathers. Good bit: not all that hungover today honestly. Memorable songs of the night: Backstreet Boys, Ghostbusters Theme and driving home to Ghost Town DJs "My Boo".

when we were driving him home on a mission of mercy our drunk friend was kind of puking and drooling out the passenger window of the car and we pulled up to a stop and a very freaked out rich lady in an SUV looked at us and was clearly thinking that our car was full of loathsome disgusting savages and man she gave us a long cold look. that's when I realized that I had been so busy dj-ing that I hadn't had a single sip of champagne even though I arrived at the party with three bottles, most of which wound up in my sick buddy's stomach- maybe it's unsympathetic or smug but I'm kinda glad that I'm middle aged and able to pace myself because man I hate barfing
― the tune was space, Wednesday, 2 January 2013 03:15 (twelve years ago)
it's been quite a long while since i've puked while drunk. (i think the last time was in baltimore, actually.) it's not something i'm particularly nostalgic for.

I mean if you're drunk and feel sick, then puking is a great thing to do and does bring relief, I just hate being in that situation- especially the paranoia about where to barf when you're not near a toilet bowl and that weird time-accelerating feeling that imminent vomiting induces.
― the tune was space, Wednesday, 2 January 2013 03:29 (twelve years ago)
+ I made steak bernaise, haricot verts and cucumber salad, and we had a bottle of Bougey-Cerdon+ had a house party with many friends from Toronto visiting+ "Come on a cone" into countdown+ s1ocki's DJ night+ walking in the snow swigging cognac- my friend got roofied- feel absolutely brutal today, can't think straight or socialize+ had monte cristo sandwiches for lunch, sausages and bubble + squeak for dinner+ still feel like a butt, but a happy and well-fed butt
