New Years

i cant believe i slept through new years.
i was so excited about the prospect of staying up until midnight that i couldnt get to sleep the night before.
the good news is that i finished reading my grandpas erotic novel.
theres surprisingly little about lesbians in there.
most of it is the two main male characters sitting around, smoking, and talking about the pressing issues of the day. things like whether men should be allowed to grow beards if they work in an office.
they decide they shouldnt.
unless the man works on a pirate ship.
anyway, i still managed to make my list of resolutions.
heres what you can expect me to be working on in the new year:
1) use my head start on the chinese to my full advantage. the chinese are about five months late celebrating the new year. god knows why. im guessing theres some sort of myth involving a dragon that "explains" it. anyway im going to make something while the sun shines and i advise you to do the same. unless youre chinese. in which case pop another pack of pringles and wait for the year of the whatever.
2) beat death at his own game. that one explains itself.
3) and… um… finish watching the first season of the tudors on dvd. i know that sounds like a cop out resolution, but that show really speaks to me. if i was an english king, id totally be henry viii. i wouldnt be afraid to sex/sass it up when needs be. my court would be all: "diplomatic crisis!" and id be all: "arm wrestling!" and id win, cause im guessing most medieval brits havent seen over the top once, let alone 10 times.
