[New Years Plans] Party like 2016 is finally over.

Post your New Years plans. I'm staying up as late as I can, eating pizza and drinking cider.

2016 was a bad year in many's book. I'm sure lots are celebrating its ending and welcome 2017 as a hopeful gesture that good things are soon to come.

    I'm not sure if recent events in my community may alter our plans, but what we usually do is go to my Grandmother's old house to visit my two uncles, who then take their guns and shoot into the sky twice: One to bid the old year farewell and one to greet the new year

    Every year, my friends and I get together online and run through a large player count co-op game of some sort. Past candidates include Diablo II, Artemis Starship Simulator, Titan Quest, and Din's Curse. This year will be Soldak's new game, Zombasite, along with Jackbox Party Pack 3 and Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes.

    Sit at home by myself catching up on video games and being surprised when it's 3am.

    It's a fairly excellent new years strategy, time tested.

    I'm terrified beyond reason of 2017, so the less I can think about that upcoming apocalyptic hellscape, the better I can pretend to be a normal human.

    Visting a friend in dublin and drinking a lot is gonna be my cure for 2016. We'll boot up some bad movies and have a grand old time.

    I'm deliberately drinking lots of beer tonight so that I don't drink tomorrow. I want to wake up on New Year's Day hangover-free, ready to get stuck into a semi-decent health plan. Besides, I always crave unhealthy food on hangover days, so New Year's Eve will be the day to indulge. Come January 1st, it's back on the treadmill daily, back on the barbell/dumbell, back to the morning press-ups and no ordering pizzas.

    The plan is to not have another drink until Jan 28th (there's a local school reunion so...)

    So yeah. That's the plan.

    Let's see if it works out.

    I'm going to the gym I go to for underground wrestling in Seattle. Theres a show tonight at 9pm(3-2 1 Battle! and Lucha Volcanica) and then a fundraiser tomorrow night to help make rent.

    They got a bouncy ring with giant inflatable boxing gloves. It's gonna be nuts.

    Can we get the chemicals in. 'Cause anything's better than this.

    Get home from work. Shower, eat, go to bed before midnight, hoping not to have nightmares about how much worse 2017 will be.

    Starting new years eve off by hitting the gym early in the AM. Running some errands in the midday. Then in the evening a nice dinner out about town with friends. Getting all dressed up and all that. Then after dinner we head to a friend's house get dressed down into comfortable clothes, drink a reasonable amount of booze, smoke a bunch of weed, play video games and board games, eat snacks, take about 20 seconds to watch the ball drop then get back to enjoying the hanging out. Likely in bed by 1:00 because we're a bunch of boring married 30 year olds and half or more of us are hitting the gym and such early new year's day. Hopefully to be followed by some excellent breakfast.

    Driving from Colorado to Wisconsin with my wife. We hope to get home before midnight and snuggle with our kitties to ring in the new year, but we'll probably still be on the road when midnight hits.

    what the fuck does this mean?

    A fairly old new year tradition was the personification of the last year as an old man and the new year as a baby, with the old man passing the torch.

    In this instance, the old man looks to be trying his damndest to keep the baby safe.

    I get it, but it is drawing from old symbolism people don't really adhere to any more.

    I'm going to a dinner with a few friends, two of them have BABIES now and to my surprise I did a 180 during the past year and really really love babies now. It'll be fun hanging out on their first real new years eve and see how they react to pretty fireworks and stuff. Then after midnight I'm going to go home and sleep because I am extremely old.

    Not pictured: a giant wave labeled "climate change" and another slightly smaller wave labeled "automation". The wall clearly represents a screen of small niggling problems we've built up in front of us to distract from the big issues that are creeping up our ankles and will shortly drown and or pulverise us against the rocks of the eternal shore.


    Am I doing this right?

    Work. Then, perhaps, watching a performance of The Tempest at midnight.

    Then more work.

    EDIT: Oh yes, and that new Brian Eno album launches tomorrow morning, which should perfect for my intebulated hangover.

    I am going to make 2 burgs and put them in a cheese roll, have a plate of nachos, revel in the fact that as of today I have the home to myself for about half a month & probably play Starsector.


    Get bodied, 2016.

    I get it, but it is drawing from old symbolism people don't really adhere to any more.

    The thing is, the baby is labeled as 2016, so that old man would have to be 2015, so either the comic is a year late and doesn't make any sense, or the comic just doesn't make any sense.

    Edit: Yes, I do in fact plan to spend my new years eve over analyzing political comics. Care to join?
    There may be take out chinese food too.

    We're ordering Chinese tonight and having our traditional New Years Ham tomorrow. And I'm probably going to read all/most of the books I bought on boxing day.

    We'll see how long this blog lasts

    Yesterday some friends who had moved out of state met back up and we played board games from about 1pm to 2am.

    Evolution, 7 Wonders, Robo Rally, The Castles of Mad King Ludwig, and even two prototypes two of us have been working on.

    Tonight my girlfriend and I will make fondue.

    And maybe play boardgames.

    have i told you about Malifaux
