New Years Eve...Redeux We all know that Times Square, on New Years Eve, is a mass of bodies all standing around (drunk) waiting for midnight so they can not only welcome in the new year, but they also get to watch the gigantic ball (made of crystal and lights) - which likely costs thousands and thou...

i'm hearing rumors that we've started an entirely new year. or we did a week or so ago, is what they tell me. i would have made my first '09 post already, except the fog of hangover from new year's eve is only just now starting to lift, after applying a long weekend and roughly 450,000 cups of coffe...
