Happy Chinese New Year... or for the non-huaren peoples of the world, Happy Lunar New Year. The Seattle Times has an interesting article which suggests that according to Chinese astrology, this is a bad year to get married. Some even call it "year of the widow".

Ouch.

CNN has a list of famous people born in the year of rooster right here. Britney Spears? Rod Stewart? Goldie Hawn? Talk about a sadly populated astrological sign.

In other unrelated news, there's lots of different things going on at the moment...

But fortunately (or unfortunately) there are ways to be distracted and relaxed - all thanks to Mel, Chris, Stone, Chung, Dave Ko, and this. If you need me, I'm now vicariously wandering its digital wastelands looking to extinguish evil with a rifle in my hand and a faithful dog by my side.
