Happy New Years all!
My New Years was mostly uneventful, because I was on a plane to Guangzhou (south China) for most of it, getting to my hotel shortly before the bell tolled 12. But New Years day shall be filled with traveling, good eats, and certainly misadventures and shenanigans!
How is everyone spending their holiday?

I spent a couple hours watching the SciFi channels annual Twilight Zone marathon. Some of them are actually pretty good, but others, usually the ones where they attempt some kind of action, are really bad and I can just laugh at them.
My family finished Tropic thunder just in time to watch the ball drop!
Just curious, do West-Coasters see the ball live, at 9:00, or is the broadcast delayed?
Hanging out waiting for more party peeps to show up. Alcohol time impends.
We went out for fancy ramen, then came home and watched Get Smart all night. Woo!
I did none of this because it was so cold that my feet had turned into little stubs barely fit for walking on, but the fireworks were spectacular and the huge projection system that projected videos of various people wishing Happy New Year was great
I went over to my girlfriend's, burned an old man made out of clothes, a mask, sawdust, and plenty of fireworks that represents the old year (Año Viejo, local tradition), had a delicious meal and then at around 2 AM met up with some friends in hopes of finding a party, while my girlfriend stayed home because she didn't wanna drive around aimlessly until we find something to do... I should have done the same.
Well, we ended up going to a party with at most 25 people were I was so bored I almost died, and since we had all taken one car I had to wait until one of my friend's took us back to where we had left our other car at around 5 AM. We all had had at least something to drink but no one was even near drunk (regrettably). When we were back in the car of the friend at whose house I was gonna crash for the night, and we were at maybe 10 km from his house, a traffic policeman made us stop... He started to threaten my friend with sending him to jail because he was drunk driving, (even though the law says that drunk driving is sanctioned by a ticket and Idon't know how many points off your license) but we were able to talk things through, and that's when the policeman's partner decided to ask for a bribe. Well, 20 minutes and 20 dollars later, they left and we were ready to get home... But the car wouldn't start. We had to push the car for some 50 meters while my friend's girlfriend tried to make it start.. And then, after all that, we got home watched the sun rise and half of some crappy movie and slept until noon.
Anyway, guys, I really wanna wish you all an AWESOME 2009. You are all incredible, bright, and funny people whom I wish all the best for! I hope this year will be a great year for the Belt and all its inhabitants! I also hope you get to have that little get-together, and take millions of pictures! Happy 2009!
I hope you understand. (There can be exceptions if it's good.)
GOOD LUCK TO YOUR EYES.
Additionally, ALL-CAPS DAY will become meaningless for you! Unless you post all lowercase, which will probably get you told off.
I'm disappointed.
Oh, no lawyers either.
