New Year's Day, 2009

Well, I'm getting "Happy New Year" texts, and unless my friends are completely out of synch with reality, that means we've gone through another Gregorian year. All is set: I've made it to midnight (but it's been a while since I haven't), I've put up my new calendar (and decided that I really should have put more thought into something I'll be looking at every day for the next year), and resolved to... No, wait, I haven't done that yet. Blog more? Sure. I don't think I'll go back to daily entries, but less sporadic writing couldn't hurt. (Note: neither could an occasional "Hey, Tomen, get off your arse and write!" from my readers)
In other news, I got laid off from work. New year, new job (hopefully). Not such a good pair, but oh, well.
