h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I'm one of those weirdos who insists that the new Millenium isn't actually starting for a couple more days. Don't get me wrong.. I don't associate any special significance with the Gregorian calendar or the rolling over of a digit, but considering that humanity seems to be in some sort of state of apotheosis right now (or ecological escape or whatever) I do tend to get swept up in indulging a bit of armageddon-esque fantasy about such things.

And I have to say that this year sucked for me. So long 2000. I spent the first eight months of it flailing around from job to job. I'm thankful it is ending on a reasonably good note, with me employed and not evicted.

Christmas was ok, ran around visiting family and stuff. I'm starting my weekend now, and hoping to spend at least some of it socially... night shifts don't lend themselves to a lot of interaction.

Resolutions? I have a few.

Quit smoking, lose some weight, work on my book some more, write a few more entries for the Guide, get a promotion on the job... f**k, I'm starting to sound a lot like everyone else at this time of year.
