Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, everyone! Okay, so it's not midnight yet, but I've just watched the ball drop in NYC.

Pitiable time zone issues.

And if you make resolutions, I do hope you break at least one. In fact, by breaking one, you'll keep two. See, it's a failed attempt to give up chocolate, anyways, especially if they're stuffed with maraschino cherries and topped with chopped almonds and caramel. The world needs less twigs out there to get blown away by 30 mph winds.

And who as ever been stressful after having a near-death experience via chocolate? Everyone's in a good mood after cocoa, whether it be white, milk, dark, or semi-sweet, so you can check "Be less grumpy" off your list.

But you should quit smoking, ne? We still want you around in 2010.
