cleolindaSo I am at home, in my best homebody tradition, watching the Twilight Zone marathon and drinking a frozen New Year's punch (best when slightly thawed and topped with ginger ale) that contains, in part, strawberry and cherry Jello powder, orange juice, lime juice, pineapple juice, and sugar. If I wasn't diabetic before, I will be now. Also, I went to webkinz.com, a very Neopets/GoPets-esque site, and registered the little omgwtfpolarbear plushie I got in my stocking. (The WebKinz people have improved on the virtual pet scheme of the other two sites by necessitating the purchase of a toy before accessing the playsite.) His name is now Iorek, and he likes naps and his trampoline.
Something else I've been playing with: Library Thing, a fun way to organize your Christmas presents, if you're booky like me. I've had an account for a while, but I'd forgotten about it. It has only a fraction of my collection in there so far, and if you happen to look at it, you may notice that most of the books have high ratings. This is because I'm not bothering to add the books I hate.
Something else to play with: The Movie Quote Generator, where you can insert any word, but most profitably your own name.
And finally, from Snopes: New Year's beliefs and traditions.

Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my Cleolinda. Prepare to die!
Many Bothans died to bring us this Cleolinda.
I defy you! Come and kneel before Cleolinda!
Oh, what sad times are these when passing ruffians can say 'Cleolinda' at will to old ladies.
Say hello to my little Cleolinda!
Frankly, my dear, I don't give a Cleolinda.
Every time a bell rings, an angel gets his Cleolinda.
There is a Cleolinda coming. Are you sure you're on the right side?
Play it, Sam. Play 'As Cleolinda Goes By'.
If I was a Cleolinda, a perfect Cleolinda, how would you know it was really me?
Mrs. Robinson, you're trying to seduce Cleolinda. Aren't you?
Get your stinking paws off me, you damned dirty Cleolinda.
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Cleolinda on fire off the shoulder of Orion.
But why is the Cleolinda gone?
One Cleolinda's too many, and a hundred's not enough.
Father to a murdered son. Husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my Cleolinda, in this life or the next.
Come with Cleolinda if you want to live.
Cleolinda? Where we're going we don't need Cleolinda.
To Cleolinda, and beyond!

the best part is when the narrator is discussing the trivia games and he goes "maybe you'll find a pair of smarty-pants that fit!!" no, i don't know either. lol

Date: 2007-01-01 06:42 am (UTC)Got roped into working a closing shift tonight, have come home and collapsed with rather vile, if refreshing beverage in the form of Grape Crush and various buy n' heat appetizers.
I've lost control of the remote, though, so I'm stuck watching an Ed Sullivan retrospective of some sort.
It's only making me sad because everyone they're showing seems to be dead, now, including James Brown.
Mum's also regaling me with where she was during the original broadcast of the Beatles' premiere performance on the show back in the day, and I'm a little sad I wasn't around then to know just how BIG a deal the Beatles were in those days.
They're huge now, (and mostly dead,) and it boggles my mind slightly to think how omgfangirly things would have been back then.
...well, now that we're out of the '50s, the music's getting better. Also have a secret love for Diana Ross AND the Mamas and the Papas.

Date: 2007-01-01 09:16 am (UTC)Twilight Zone Marathon, yea!!
I was watching that until a few minutes ago.
Now I'm watching "The Big Band Sound Of WWII" on PBS.
I love swing and big band.
And dixieland jazz.
During the TZ Marathon, I coulda sworn I heard Rod Serling say something
like "...a time when you're confused and when you're really loaded."
and I heard an audience laugh.
I want Rod Serling TZ outtakes!!
Bonne et heureuse année!!
