Hello, and here is a thread for resolutions, sworn oaths, that 1024x768 joke, and other New Year chat.

Hi Ian I do not understand what this is

jagged harness Jan 1, 2023, 1:55 AM

I am suddenly hosting a party tonight due to the original host falling ill. That’s why I’m at the store on New Year’s Eve.

grand marsh Hi Ian I do not understand what this is

You can have a resolution here, or not, or talk about fireworks, or say that resolutions are dumb. The only limit is yourself.

#

And yeah, you joined.

Aha, I see

I am doing a nice quiet night at home with my journal, a list of goals for 2023, and a set of things I want to be the last things I do in 2022/first things I do in 2023.

#

Tonight: work on my crochet fox, read more of my book about Ancient China, be reading Joan: A Novel of Joan of Arc near midnight, eat the pizookie I ordered right around midnight. After midnight: text/call my four favorite people plus various others, start reading Say We Are Nations (two chapters a day means I can be done by the end of January), do a couple of stitches on the fox.

#

Oh, also I'm starting ACOFAF from the beginning because it's one of my favorite 2022 pieces of media and has the kind of tone I'd like my life to have.

I bowed out of celebrating New Year's with the most right-wing side of my family so I've got the house to myself

I feel like NYE on your own can be really luxurious and nice.

I’m hoping to balance out the time I spend on various things in accordance with my priorities. Hopefully getting caught up on D20 will help me study more lmao 😅

But I will be spending this evening at my parents’ house, probably spending most of it curled up in bed and hanging out alone

anyone else doing the dozen grapes?

cloud gull Jan 1, 2023, 2:17 AM

What are the dozen grapes?

vernal nymph Jan 1, 2023, 2:18 AM

Latino thing, you have to eat twelve grapes within the first minute of the new year for good luck. my mom has strong feelings about it

Is there a reason why it's grapes in particular?

prime sage Jan 1, 2023, 2:30 AM

Oh the New Years tradition in my family is putting coins on all the windowsills and entrances in the house. Inviting good fortune in and whatnot

past mesa Is there a reason why it's grapes in particular?

according to Wikipedia it was popularized by wine growers in Alicante trying to sell a really good harvest. the tradition had been going for about 15 years by then tho, idk why it's grapes

Rice dogs! Similar to corn dogs, but with a chewy on the inside, very crunchy on the outside rice flour batter. https://i0.wp.com/chiplifestyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/food-blog.png?fit=800%2C1200&quality=80&strip=all&ssl=1

You can get pure beef or chicken hotdogs

ornate vale Jan 1, 2023, 10:21 PM

#

I know, but I don't believe a fast food place would have that option, based on what I've seen

jagged harness Jan 1, 2023, 10:23 PM

#

Beef (which these are) is way more common in the US.

#

AND grub, you can get these with potato or ramen or lots of other stuff. I like em simple.

#

#

Previously unmentioned: squid ink, sweet potato

ornate vale Jan 1, 2023, 10:27 PM

which is a high effort version of food I have absolutely made drunk
