Vote 2009

Oh, and if I haven't already mentioned this to you: I've unilaterally called an early end to 2008. It was a bullshit year, basically, and I see no good reason to wait another three months to see the back of it. Nope: much as they speak of the long 19th century, I am now inhabiting the long 2009, and I invite you to join me. (And benchilada, and binkuswinkus... shaneface, you in too?)

2009: How bad could it possibly be?

I am completely on board. 2008 sucked the large and sweaty balls of many, many ruminates.

Word.

And it will continue to do so—IN HELL.

I'd do it, except I'm not sure the terribleness is over yet, and I don't want it following us to next year. Let's get the credit markets unlocked, and I'll meet you on the other side.

It's a deal! (To be honest, I was kind of worried about that too, but since at least part of my problem was the 2008-dread itself, I figure I'm up one on the universe no matter what. This year's been enough same-shit-different-day that even convincing myself it's different-shit-different-day is improvement.)
