No big plans for tonight? Avoiding the crowds and cover charges or just getting up early for the Rose Parade? Taking it easy this NYE doesn’t mean you have to miss out on all the fun. First of all Hulu will be broadcasting the ball dropping in New York so you can celebrate at 9pm and go to bed early.
Want to party without leaving the house? Well Ben Parr over at Mashable posted 8 Ways to celebrate NYE 2009 online.
Ah crap, the Snark has just found out that Dick Clark will be Rockin’ In The New Year again over at ABC. Dick Clark just turned 79 last month and according to the Huffington Post is currently using a walker and a wheelchair. No one wants to see that shit! New years is a time to be happy and celebrate with family and friends, not to be depressed listening to stroke recovering Clark fumble through his monologue and painfully watch Ryan Seacrest try and play off him. It’s so painful, like visiting my grandparents at an old folks home, the moment you get their you want to leave which is how I felt when watching this train wreck at a house party a few years ago. Well nowadays since I have two little kids at home, the wife and i will play it low key and stay in…and like a rubbernecker watching a car accident on the freeway, we’ll probably be drawn in to watching this train wreck happen.
Even this promo photo released by ABC two years ago is painful to look at….look how forced Ryan Seacrest is and poor dick talking out of the side of him mouth!
Dick, you shoudl be home with your wet nurse rockin’ the New year in your rocking chair. You deserve the time off and we deserve a break from the Pitty party. For more info click here or check the networks site here.

Times are tough right now. Money is tight, the holidays are stressful, the nearby Albertson’s doesn’t have an auto-checkout lane and you always get caught behind a check-writing-blue-hair, life is all around rough right now. If only there was a way to put things in perspective to see if things really are that bad.
Well head on over to WhatAFail.com and vent all you want. Readers may agree that your life is indeed a failure, or they might tell you that you deserve it.

Today, I was baby-sitting four rather noisy and rowdy kids. After a two hour struggle, I finally manage to get them into bed. I then ask them what they want before going to sleep, and the eldest replies: “Can you tell us a story where you die at the end?” FAIL
