Complex Numbers

Year.

31,536,000 seconds.

By convention, that is - that's how many seconds are in a year of 365 days. Next year, of course, is a leap year of 366 days. And that means two things:

-The Olympics
-The U.S. Presidential Election

Looks like another year for me to stay the hell away from television.

Anyway, as 2007 draws to a close, I'm tempted to look back on it and recap the highlights - but I won't.

And as we approach 2008, I'm tempted to make predictions and resolutions - but I won't.

I'll turn 42 in 2008. 42, as all readers of Douglas Adams will know, is the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything. 42 is also twice 21, which means I will have spent as much time being legally able to drink liquor as not.

Obviously, I will celebrate this anniversary by drinking liquor.

Speaking of which, we're doing the teppan yaki thing tonight - it's been our New Year's Eve tradition for some years now, and I see no reason to quit.

This year was pretty good - so I won't hope for a better next year. I'll be happy with the same old shit.

Here's to life.
