Effing New Year’s. You feel like something profound, climactic, meaningful should happen. But of course nothing does. It’s just another day. And, typically, a day when more assholes than usual are out in full force.

I have my doubts about whether we’ll be able to get into the Pylon show tomorrow night, as well as whether I’ll actually want to. We’ll go and assess the situation, and if it doesn’t pan out, we’ll find something else to do. Did I hear read someone mention there will be fireworks? Or did I imagine that?

Revised New Year’s Resolutions, 2005:

  • More volunteer work.
  • Meditate several days a week, OR
    Take up yoga. (Bonus points if I do both.)
  • Build a nice, big birdcage for my adorable little chickies (aka zebra finches).
  • Finish all the changes to ASB.
  • Dabble in Ruby.
  • Have sex, OR
    Don’t feel like a loser if I don’t.

My blog is entering its third year. I started it in April 2002. -I should really get the links to the olde blogge working again. Hey, let’s add one more thing to the New Year’s Resolutions list:

  • Get the links to Ye Olde Blogge working again.

I’ll skip the usual speech about how much has changed since I first started my blog, or, more appropriately, how much has happened during the course of this year and how, this time last year, I had no idea I would be where I am now in a year’s time… etc. etc. ad nauseum. I’ll spare you. But I’m thinking it; you better believe that.

    I thought Ruby might be a chick for a second. And if she was, my question would have been, “And how, exactly, do you dabble in her?”

    Oh, Niki, don’t you know anything? That’s what the kids are calling it nowadays. You are so behind the times. Wink wink, nudge nudge.

    I’m just too innocent for my own good.

    That and I don’t think that the kids are clever enough to use a word like “dabble.”

    You certainly are innocent, Niki… I mean, when I think of innocence personified, I think of you. And if I remember correctly, your picture is even in the OED beside the entry for “innocent.” That’s the final word (no pun intended) on innocence!

    Oops, wait a second, let me wipe up that sarcasm…
