The rollover to the new year is here again, complete with its year-in-reviews, and countdowns and lists and rundowns. I can't be the only one that gets tired of them all, but hey, it fills the programming slots so more people can be off for the holidays.
It seems this year though that everyone must have gone way overboard on the whole Christmas rush and tired themselves right out. Everyone out there seems to have no-plans for New Years and are just keepin it kind of mellow. For me that's nothing new; only one year in the past 22 have I not been at home doing a fondue for New Years. That one year away was spent on the morder of Arizona and Mexico in a hotel room ringing in the New Years of each of the north american time zones, and watching drunk locals drive over gas pumps at the neighbouring gas station.
Anyways, no-one seems to have huge plans this year. Maybe its cause the novelty of the new millenium has worn off now that we're half a decade in, and the world hasn't ended yet so no-one wants to brave the masses. Maybe its cause its on a Saturday night? Or maybe its cause everyone's all anxious about the U.S. vs. Canada world junior game tonight.
Whatever the case I'm not gonna break my mellow tradition, and more importantly pass up a fondue, just for the sake of doing something.
Cheers to waving 2005 goodbye!
