...men don't - and that makes men less important than towels. Yes, towels got a day too. Children's books have a day as well, which is perfectly odd. The dead have two days, on right after the other.

I however, will...

...there rice soup for New Year's? Were there a lot of New Year’s presents? Was there rice cake for New Year's? I usually have rice cakes, 2008 I’m still the same as usual. Thank you for the recent live countdown in Shinjuku Holiday. In conclusion, it was good. The same New Year's holiday is on Monday. We had a little free-fun time. This year will be enjoyed.

The plan was to get this going by New Year's. Well, Jan 1 came and went, several times, but this time I was serious. It was going to get done by Jan 1 '08. That didn't happen, so I thought OK the Lunar New Year or Chinese New Year is the middle of February, maybe I can make that. Didn't happen.

... woman. Jesus. Carl (aka: My. Willey) is out for foot surgery for another month still. He's like, "Yeah, so I have this inverted arch and now I need operated on." Dude, you're 6'10", EXPECT foot problems!!! Worse; I'm stuck with the anal female managers now. As people they're cool, but when they're on the clock...watch out. (This better not get me fired DX) Got a new laptop. Yeah, it's nice. I can...

...something like that. Pit orchestra for the school musical is looking grim. Week 2, and still only 4 people. 3 playing, one conducting. But we'll try our best! and, completely random, but... Marth is azn . True, he's a Japanese-only game character, but still... he looks so much more actually Japanese than he has in his old portrait art or in SSBM, or other Fire Emblem characters. I wonder what made...

...the expensive one) 4. Get what every single woman needs (Yes, I'm purposefully being vague on this one to spare my f-list) 5. Complete one exam and one VEE course 6. Exercise more (given that I exercise like none, this should be a snap) 7. Graduate (hee!) 8. Knit something for myself 9. Don't buy any more yarn until I have depleted by half my yarn stash 10. Ditto with fabric. It's embarrassing, y'all.
