CBC Promo--December 31, 1987

This includes a promo for a show called He Shoots, He Scores, which I've never heard of till now. It looks intriguing.

Kim Carnes, "Invitation to Dance."

One of the last things I watched New Year's Eve was That's Dancing on TCM. This played over the ending credits.

Happy New Year!

Last night's New Year's party: lots of firecrackers and watching lots of aerial fireworks. I went home at 12:45, went to bed at 1:30, and awoke at 8:30. More later.

Happy New Year!

Auld Lang Syne.

A hectic year draws to a close. But I had a lot of fun nevertheless.

The New Year

Four-ten p.m. as I write this. Very quiet. Not many firecrackers today here.

2 January update: IFC had a Portlandia marathon yesterday. I've heard of but never saw the show before. It has a Kids in the Hall quality to it.

Happy New Year

A headline and lead of an article I saw online, with the names redacted:

[Young female celebrity] Rocks Skimpy Bikini in Dubai with [another young female celebrity] and [another yfc or socialite I've never heard of]

Oh, to be on this A-list New Year's vacation! [YFC] is currently in Dubai, where's she set to ring in the New Year ...

No thanks. I'm at home watching the free preview of NGN (Nippon Golden Network), which our cable company offers every New Year's. I had some maki sushi and tempura from Kawamoto's. Later, I'll watch more NGN, and maybe the New Year's celebration from Times Square.

Indian Music Countdown

This seems to be a countdown of Indian (or Pakistani) music from exactly twenty-five years ago.

Weather Channel Greets the New Year

New Year's Eve 1988

Watch the New Year's ball drop as 1988 ends and 1989 begins.

Happy New Year

Reflecting on the year, I realize that each of us is alloted the same amount of time. The challenge for me in 2011 is how to spend my time more wisely. And decluttering physically and mentally is the first step.

5 January update: Good piece by Ralph Nader on taking back time.
