NYE was fun, but we were sharing the bar (it was split pretty evenly between our group and another), and so it didn't seem appropriate to hijack the sound system, even though I'd put in a good couple hours putting together a dance playlist. I was promised that we'd go back to our usual style next year.
Drinks: about four gin and tonics, and a couple of Harps.

OTM
Although I eventually did find a spot nearby on Friday after about what, 25 minutes of circling around?

Really? I wrote it off but that makes me want to see it. Maybe.

New Year's - Robbie Fulks was pretty great. It was incredible, those guys basically wrote a whole musical just for the NYE show. Comedy, satire, top 10 pop songs revue, props (!), etc. Then welsh rarebit at 3van's house, drunken acoustic jam session (pennywhistle/guitar/hand drums), bed at 6 am. I had big plans to have everyone over for brunch but I had a pretty epic hangover. The works.
Drinks: beer, homemade cherrywine, beer, beer, beer, beer, champagne, gin & tonic, beer, beer

Same here.
Feels really weird, though. Half the office is still out, and I have nothing to do. I was amped for work this morning, then... blah.

But really, we get around, so it could have been anything. That and people seem to like to go up there to vacation a lot. Silly tourista fudgies!

I like bad TV, too, but Sports Night is not it.

I would guess that people could defend SN by saying it was "intelligent" etc, so I would think it doesn't fit into the generally-accepted canon of Bad TV. But it defines bad entertainment for me.
― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Tuesday, 2 January 2007 19:44 (seventeen years ago) link
it did a really good job of drawing out complex and indidvidual relationships between each of its characters and everybody else. it drew a social picture really well and remained more or less faithful to it. I admit, though, that I dig super-mannered dialogue and I get why many people don't.

xpost--I haven't seen SN since '01 so my critique (beyond "hated it") will be pretty flimsy, but I suppose I didn't like the way it dealt with relationships because it used really broad strokes and the writers cared more about hearing their own voices than giving the characters' their own. Yeh, I think that covers it-- Goodbye Girl and SN are like watching a puppet show.
