New Years Eve
The new year is a ripe 1 hour and 13 minutes old, and already I'm in my pajamas and ready for bed. At least I outlasted the only single guy in our group, who--rather than face kissing me at midnight--decided to hop on the subway towards home at 11 p.m. Ah well, I did get some nice three-way action with Ms. Wish to See and our non-blogging friend Signe.
Actually, the night was very nice, with a fancy dinner at Clyde's, followed by a showing of King Kong--which really merits its own entry. But since I'm sleepy and will probably never get around to it, here is my brief commentary:
-- First of all, the Kong v. dinosaur fight scenes were straight out of professional wrestling. And lest you think that I've got WWE on the brain, others in the group commented on the very Rock-like headlock in which Kong ended the T-rex's life.
-- Second, could the movie have been any longer? They should have altered the movie to end on the island, because everything after they arrived in New York was very, very sad. I mean, seriously, Kong and Ann ice skating in Central Park?
-- Third, I almost shrieked myself silly during the island bug scenes. I was NOT prepared for the worm-with-teeth-things-sucking-up-the-ship's-crew scene. And then, after the shrieking, I wanted to vomit. I believe I speak for the whole group when I say, had we been stuck on the island, we would rather have faced the dinosaurs than the bugs.
But getting back to the evening's plans, after the movie let out and Signe and I experienced the jet-engine-powered hand dryers in the ladies bathroom, we meandered over to some random bar where we spent the last hour of 2005 surrounded by 23-year-old people who had started their party HOURS earlier. Aside from some very amusing dancing from the crowd, I was happy to leave after the ball dropped.
On the way home, Jess engaged us in a conversation about "who is your favorite president and why?" And with that, I capped off a wild and crazy year.
Next entry, new year's resolutions!!!

Really? A blog entry at 0113?! What kind of New Year is THAT!? [Okay, I've been home for two hours, but had to wait to seem cool...]
Totally would have kissed you, btw. HOT!
New years brought me the same ending. Glad you had fun. Sorry the movie was so long. :(
