Update XIX: Melancholy and the Infinite Napping

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

Season XX is starting already?

Season XX is starting already?

No, this is not an Update thread.  I am finished with the Update, though I may post in Season XIX this week to wish everybody a Merry Christmas.  As far as regular updates, that ship has sailed.

I won't be like ODF and sit on my ass for 39 bowl games and 8 hours of Ryan Seacrest.  Well ODF will move for food.

[Tender Branson]

I have nothing planned really.

Maybe fire a few rockets, maybe go to the Grand Hotel at the lake in Zell am See to watch the big firework there and watch foreign tourists kiss each other. Then get boozed.

Then post my 2015 predictions on Atlas.

[DKrol]

I'll be at a church retreat in North Carolina at a midnight service.

I'm glad that Bushie is treating himself to a little Tulsa vacation on Papa Bushie's dime this New Year's Eve though. Lord knows he needs it!

This one's on my dime...

Oh, you've started paying for your $200 Tulsa cable package? Good for you, friend. I apologize and take back my snarky comment.

I'm paying for everything Tulsa - rent, cable, gas to and from, etc.

Mods, if you could merge the thread here into this one, that would be greatly appreciated.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

So it's your money that you're figuratively setting fire to? Less morally questionable, but still not good.

[Keystone Phil]

Just rename the thread already...

I intend on practicing the American tradition of New Year's celebration by consuming copious alcoholic beverages.

Will probably watch Ryan Seacrest at home until the ball drops, and then go to bed.  Don't know about anything other than that, though.

I still wish Dick Clark were still alive.  He was the show!  Ryan is a good successor, but Dick was one of a kind.

BBQ at a friend's place... lots of good food and wine. Probably some 80s/90s music.

I wouldn't mind a glass of chardonnay, but I have a 2 hour drive to make New Year's afternoon on six hours sleep.

what kind of pre-season super cup is played in December??!?

Napoli requested that it be moved because it was originally scheduled between our two CL playoff matches.

You a Napoli fan, KP?

This is a well known Forum Fact.

You just lost some cool points (CP) in my mind, pal. #ForzaJuve

Bushie please don't go to work on five hours of sleep for no reason.

[Joe Biden 2020]

Bushie please don't go to work on five hours of sleep for no reason.

Five hours is nothing.  Twice this month I have gone to work on 2 1/2 - 3 hours sleep.  I'll be fine.  If I'm too sleepy at 1700, I will come back to Grandma's (a 45 minute drive) instead of coming to Tulsa (2 hour drive).  I will be smart about it, but getting up early on New Year's Eve is a tradition for me just as much as staying up til midnight.  Last year, I didn't sleep any on December 30/31 and I still drove to Stillwater and then on to Tulsa, a 4 hour excursion, and ate dinner with a friend and still snuggled with my girlfriend ringing in 2014 at her dad's Tulsa apartment.

Bushie, have you eaten at local eatery Spaghetti Warehouse?

Bushie, have you eaten at local eatery Spaghetti Warehouse?

Yes, I ate there before an Oklahoma City Thunder basketball game in November 2013.  It was pretty good.
