== Synopsis ==
Joe's mother leaves his father and he plants a bug in her car.  Joe and his girlfriend attend a new years party at the home of Bolshovsky.  (Bukowski?)  His mother's boyfriend dies and the family gets drunk together.  Life is short, so savor it with all your anatomy.  Avoiding a beige existence.  An idyllic new year.  An analysis of noise makers.  Resolutions.  Macbeth's tomorrow soliloquy.  
Joe recounts family events 3 years ago, about 2 weeks before New
Year's Eve.  His father, drunk, jumped from the balcony of his condo
in Marina del Rey, breaking both heels.  2 days later his mother moved
out.  His father told him to put a tracking device on her car.  Joe
objected, but the father threatened to cut Joe out of his will.


They found out that she had moved in with a divorce lawyer, John
Tyler.  She planned to divorce her husband, marry Tyler.
5:30: Joe and his girlfriend, Linda, went to a New Year's Eve party at
the home of the 'famous writer-drunk' Henry Bulshofsky(sp?)<ref>sounds like [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Bukowski Charles Bukowski]</ref>
and his girlfriend Carol in San Pedro.  They were invited because
Linda worked at Carol's sandwich shop.  Linda wore a 'skin-tight
leopard-print spandex suit with a deep scoop back' that
she disliked but made her hot.  Carol was jealous.  Bulshofsky told
Joe that he'd never make it as an actor because his eyes were dead,
bragged about his drinking exploits.  He got angry because his guests
weren't drinking enough, angrily threw them out.  A group of Germans
who were hanging out outside relished this display of temper.<ref>The
famous film directors Joe mentioned in this segment, Pascal le Braque
and Friedrich Frisch, are fictional.</ref>
16:30: After they left Linda insisted on changing out of her outfit.
Back at his apartment they got a message from Joe's mother: Tyler had
died at a party, she's at her husband's condo.
17:00: Linda and Joe went to his father's condo, heard the story
of Tyler's death, got drunk, partied.
19:40: Joe explains why he will live his life fully.
22:10: Joe tells us how happy he is.  (He has the company of his
faithful companion, Ollie.)<ref>Ollie is the
name of his neighbors' dog in [[Insomnia]], the name of the dog the
guy happy with his 9-millimeter shoots in [[Problems]], his dog in [[Old Man]]
</ref>  He blows 3 noisemakers, interprets their
meaning: 'Doesn't that evoke the spirit of the evening, while at the
same time casting into the future the potential of things yet unborn?'
&hellip; 'An overtone of life's bittersweet, tantalizing moments, the
frivolousness of nature set against human yearning.'&hellip; 'what
does that suggest, if not self-censorship in a world of limitless
horizons?'
23:50: Joe makes New Year's resolutions, some grand, some petty:
'protect the ozone layer and save the rainforest' and 'No more random
midnight obscene phone calls.'
25:00: A TV announcer counts down to midnight.
25:40: Joe recites the [https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/56964/speech-tomorrow-and-tomorrow-and-tomorrow 'Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow' soliloquy]
from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macbeth <i>Macbeth</i>] a few
times.
