lessons learned on New Year’s Eve Eve that I’m sharing on New Year’s Eve

Time Warner channel 1008 has horror movies on demand.

An F train can sometimes be in disguise as an E train.

An F train stops equally as close to my work as an E train if I let it.

I’m not good at letting people walk all over me. As I shouldn’t be.

Hale & Hearty’s potato and sausage soup isn’t good.

If both metro card replenishing machines are in use a line of impatient people will form behind you.

A life-sized figure of Boba Fett is affixed to the IT department wall in my business (yah, I’m observant). Apparently they aren’t Trekkies. Or -ers.

If I go to any other Starbucks than the one I normally frequent I can still get bold coffee this week as opposed to the weakass shit they pass off as coffee but tastes like old tea water. Helllllllo, new Starbucks!

There are really cool Japanese restaurants on W 55 between 5 Ave and 6 Ave! And one is open for breakfast!

If a shop doesn’t look like a shop on the outside then I probably don’t have enough money to my name to even walk in there, much less shop there.

Oh, and Honeycombs don’t really taste much like honey if you eat them “raw” or if you let them sit in your milk too long.

Have a safe and happy new year celebration!

    Happy New Year Poppy. 2008 was a crappy year for me – however I’m very glad of the friends I’ve met again, and the new friends I’ve found.

    Have a great 2009!!

    Lessons received.

    My grandsons (5 of them… 2 are still too young) would probably sell their parents for a life-sized Boba Fett. My daughter used to live on W 57 between 8th and 9th, so you have me longing for NYC and its Japanese restaurants. I learned today that eating 12 grapes at the stroke of midnight (grapes being round, representing a new cycle and a prosperous 12 months ahead) is customary in many countries. Barry and I will be eating 12 grapes each at midnight!

    Here’s wishing you the most blessed and prosperous and Happy New Year ever, ever…
