Happy bla bla bla...

The annoying rationalist in me blanches at the thought of the new year arbitrary signifier and doesn't want to pay it any mind.

But the just-as-annoying optimist in me looks forward to the new year with a sense of renewal.

But the most-annoying-of-all ME me will probably just be building Duplos with my daughter, and then playing Chrono Trigger DS after she goes to sleep.
