Ringing In The New Year

Should old acquaintance be forgot,

and never brought to mind ?

Should old acquaintance be forgot,

and old lang syne ?

For auld lang syne, my dear,

for auld lang syne,

we'll take a cup of kindness yet,

for auld lang syne.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to all my adorable, loyal and loving Dustbunnies. Without you, I'm nothing - and don't think I don't know it!

XOXOXOXO

Birthday Diva - Donna Summer

Happy 62nd Birthday to the Queen of Disco - Donna Summer. Let's celebrate with the song most associated with the opening of NYC's Saint nightclub 30 year's ago - Could It Be Magic:

Best 2010 TV Moment - Russell Goes On the Air

I agree wholeheartedly with my friend Wonder Man on this one: Russell Edgington, the Vampire King of Mississippi on True Blood, had this year's greatest TV moment. It was the perfect combination of terrifying and campy:

Leap-Frogging Into the New Year

Japanese Scary Leapfrog

Again - been there, done that.

Happy Birthday to Daniel Sunjata

A very happy 39th birthday to one of my all-time favorite imaginary husbands - Daniel Sunjata. Seriously, if I was ever going to cheat on my number one imaginary husband (Franky G, but you already knew that), Daniel is the one I would do it with.

Happy Birthday!

Boxer Shorts

"Actually being married seemed so crowded with unspoken rules and odd secrets and unfathomable responsibilities that it had no more occurred to her to imagine being married herself than it had to imagine driving a motorcycle or having a job. She had, however, thought about being a bride, which had more to do with being the center of attention and looking inexplicably, temporarily beautiful than it did with sharing a double bed with someone with hairy legs and a drawer full of boxer shorts".

New Year's Eve Just Won't Be The Same

A few weeks ago MTV announced they were planning on putting Jersey Shore's Snooki into a plastic hamster ball and dropping her in Times Square on New Year's Eve - which would coincide with an attempt to break the Guinness World Record for group fist-pumping. Seriously.

But the powers-that-be here in NYC came to their senses and put the kibosh on the whole sordid affair - refusing to grant MTV the proper permits. So THAT'S what Mayor Bloomberg has been working on instead of snow removal! Question: Which exact PERMITS does one apply for when one is looking to put a idiot/midget from Jersey into a plastic ball in order to drop her while thousands of people fist-pump in unison?? Someone please get back to me on this.

Preparing for Snooki in Seaside Heights

Anywhore, TMZ is reporting that MTV has relocated the Snooki Habitrail Hamster New Year's Eve Ball to - where else - the Jersey Shore. Because those 12 people still in Seaside Heights, NJ during the winter need SOMETHING to do on New Year's Eve.

The Day After - Coney Island Ave, Brooklyn

The picture above is becoming the iconic image of Blizageddon 2010 - showing abandoned cars, taxis and buses on Coney Island Avenue in Brooklyn the day after the storm. Now we have video ...

 

BTW: since when are there so many yellow cabs in Brooklyn??

It kind of reminds me of the 1983 TV Movie - The Day After  (below) - which depicted a nuclear holocaust and scared the crap outta me when I was in high school. Back then we weren't afraid of terrorists per se, but we were completely frightened of the big, bad Soviet Union and their nuclear arsenal. This ghost-town-like video of NYC creeps me out just the same as the movie did.

Home Is Where The Luggage Is

Yes, I made it back to NYC last night - and I must say there were no problems on either Amtrak or the NYC Subway. I WAS a little surprised to see piles of snow inside the subway station (like the ones above) - but the streets were plowed and the sidewalks were shoveled. But DAMN - this city got a ton of snow. I'm kinda sad that I missed it - NYC is at its best during a crisis. Although I can't say the same for our billionaire Mayor - Mike "Deal With It" Bloomberg.

Anywhore, I spent all last night petting kitties, opening mail (thanks for the cards everyone!), and did I mention petting kitties?? Also, Mom and Dad both got Oscar and Dusty presents (yes, we are THOSE KIND of cat people) - so there were treats to distribute and catnip to deal out like a drug kingpin. Thank goodness for the kitty treats, because after all this catnip my two stoner cats are bound to get the munchies.

Posting will be very light today - because I'm going to relax, deal some more catnip (too bad I can't get paid for that), and maybe even do some laundry.

How was YOUR Christmas??
