Ring Out, Wild Bells

Here it is, 1 January 2008. I'm sure there are any number of parties I could be livening at the moment, but instead I'm home writing a blog-- because I am just that awesome. To celebrate the new year, I'm going to IKEA in the morning and then plan to rock out on Guitar Hero all day. I know GHIII just came out but man, I'm determined to beat Less Talk More Rokk to my satisfaction.
