Party like it's the turn of the century
but not the turn of the other cheek.

About this Bitlet

I think my subconscious was at work here. I didn't realize until submitting that Bitlet number 99 deals with the phrase "party like it's 1999." As Ray Bradbury said in the afterword of Fahrenheit 451:

I write all of my novels and stories, as you have seen, in a great surge of delightful passion. Only recently, glancing at the novel, I realized that Montag is named after a paper manufacturing company. And Faber, of course, is a maker of pencils! What a sly thing my subconscious was, to name them thus.

And not tell me!

Bitlets are about quantity, not quality. Free-write at least one a day about what is on your mind, going on around you, or the state of your life. Ignore the urge to edit; it's not about being profound on purpose, it's about stumbling on it by accident.
