Happy 2002, everybody! And what a raging party we had to bring it in. Nancy, Chungy, and Mackenzie came over, and we spent the evening watching movies, playing Uno, and eating Mackenzie's famous dip. That stuff will make you fall down on your knees and thank Percy that you're alive. Kinda like a Jack's hamburger.

First, it was "A Fish Called Wanda", which was mostly us raving about how nifty John Cleese is. Yay John Cleese! ::dances:: Next, we watched "The Fifth Element", which Chungy and I kept referring to as "The Fifth Elephant". We spent most of the movie arguing over whether the actor who played Zorg also played the Duke in Moulin Rouge. I was right -- he wasn't. We were all incredibly amused to see Mathieu Kassovitz (Nino in "Amelie") cameo as the mugger near the beginning of the movie. I also spent a while griping about the Diva's performance. While nifty, it wasn't superhuman. Heck, the "Queen of the Night" aria is harder than that. Everyone told me to shut up. Afterwards, we played Uno for about an hour (I came in last -- go me!). Next, we watched "Snatch", realizing halfway through that we had missed the countdown for 2002. I was disappointed, as I hoped that I would get to check how accurate my watch was. I set it precisely to the New Year countdown in 2000, then 2001, and it was remarkably accurate. Bah humbug for 2002. We all ended up going to sleep around 4.

In the morning, we woke up around noon, then watched "Good Morning, Vietnam". Go Robin Williams! Why do people dislike him so? Anyway, then it was time to go, and we all went our seperate ways. Chungy got her scarf, Nancy got my copy of "Guards! Guards!", and Mackenzie accidentally forgot "Feet of Clay". Oh well. A happy new year to all. May "Rent" lyrics forever be stuck in your head on this occasion.
