Hey guys, I'm a fairly new commenter, is DUAN just an overall free-for-all? Please...be gentle with the newbie.

If anyone else is around...

Aside from a brief spike of heretofore unimaginable joy in October, my 2008 peaked in the middle of January and went downhill from there. (You know who you are, Red.) The rest of you nerds kept me sane. Happy new year, everybody. Here's to a better 2009 for all of us.

Alright all, my dinner is ready and then I'm firing up some Marvel vs. Capcom 2. I'll check back in before West Coast New Year's, but if I don't see anyone, I wish you all the best for the new year.

I was at a family New Years party and we played Rock Band for 4.5 hours. For those of you keeping score at home, that's about3.5 hours too many.

@MrRedDevil: there is no timed limits for drunked Rock Bands! Especially if El Scorcho and Baba O'Reilly are involved! Merry 2009 everyone!

For some reason I just get really depressed watching ABC's show. Dick Clark's valiant effort just makes me cry.

And so does Ryan Seacrest horrible emceeing.

But it good to ring in the New Year with a good cry. Hard to get any worse.

Happy New Year, DUAN. May all your New Year's wishes come true until you abandon them after a week.

You can always tune into the Latin pop on Univision, too. It's kinda funny too, if like me you don't habla Espanol much.

@buttons: If you mean jumping that same ramp into the blue, blue sky, I'd say somewhere around 0.00% chance.
