A night I usually dread

This is a classic date/party evening. Since I'm not generally invited to parties, and can't usually find babysitting, invariably I find myself stuck at home on New Year's Eve, contemplating my own social undesirability. If I'm lucky, I'm visiting family back East and can express my frustration by blowing up some illegal fireworks after midnight. In California, even that's not an option...

I was contemplating going to see one of my past universities (Georgia Tech) play locally in a bowl game this afternoon, but I have no one to take along and probably couldn't afford the tickets ($60/each) anyway. So I'll stay here in the office. Feh.
