This blog’s greatness shines in these random threads.

Prosecco creates (almost) the same buzz as bubbly, but minus the hangover.
Otherwise, sake or a nice single malt on the rocks whiles away the time to midnight.
Coming from a country with strict drunk driving laws, enjoy the night, but if you drive, check with a breathalyser first!

Happy 2008 everyone!

@katwoman, as the self-appointed (is there any better way in a democratic country like ours?) rep for the Western US states, i’d like to say that many of us also like our champagne here in SoCal. Personally, a glass or two of Vueve Clicquot usually does it for me. Anymore, I become uncontrollably happy. I prefer to be able to have some sort of self-control among relatives and family ya know.

@merriwhether: Death Cab rulez.

This New Year is ski then champagne for me. Preferably not in the reversed order since i’d like to be back here to read javabeans’ post on Hong Gil Dong next week. Have a wonderful welcoming of the New Year everyone. Peace!

Yeah, cheap champagne just isn’t worth it. Go for the good stuff! I’ll be visiting family this year, so probably nothing exciting planned. Last year, we just went to bed early. I guess I’m just an old fuddy-duddy, well not THAT old. Have a happy & safe New Year’s everyone!

But Death Cab’s The New Year is just oh so good though! My friends and I were singing it as 2007 begun. We were a little hyper that night though…

I don’t really drink much but I like some dessert wine once in a while. I got to work on New Year Eve till 9pm and off to church for a ThanksGiving Night Service. Most of my New Year Eves, I spend in church with my husband and friends. After the countdown, we will head for the Mamak store for supper till 2am.
BLESSES NEW YEAR JAVABEANS and thank you for your reviews and report throughout 2007. May you 2008 be filled with greater endeavour. Bless you.

I see we don’t have the Southern US represented here. Down south (Texas), we like our margaritas and our mojitos. Mojito is southern limenade with crushed mint and rum (if you haven’t had one, you’re sooo missing out).
Sometimes I fancy myself an uptown girl, so I like my occasional appletinis too.
I don’t like the taste of cheap champagne, so I usually ring in the New Year with Asti Spumante Sparkling wine ($100 compared $10…the choice is simple.)
Can’t seem to hold the liquor anymore… I’m out with just one glass these days.
So all you young’uns out there, have one for me.
Have a safe and happy time, we’ll see ya’ll next year.
