Holy Shit 2010!
Yeah, that ball dropping is a total sham. They NEVER drop the ball; it gently descends over a period of ten seconds, softly coming to its resting point, like a Faberge egg.
If it were up to me, in the spirit of a new year, we would actually drop that fucker till it smashes, getting a new one each year!

I second that motion!
Always did say that it should explode in a big fiery mess
. Exciting! And if there were balls exploding in other parts of the country we could have a ball exploding montage.

Its kinds dorky, but I’m going to watch the movie “Strange Days”; near the end, it has a scene where a big celebration clock counts down to New years, 2000. I try to have it timed so both coincide. Its an odd little ritual I try to repeat yearly – first time WAS for New year 2000 – and because, well, I like the movie.

I’ve spent a new years in animal crossing world with friends before. Anythings better than being cold and near crazy drunk people.

We were warm and indoors. However, we WERE the crazy drunk people!
