The old year is 'bout done, and good riddance to it all. My year was lousy. It had all this weird weather in it.

Thus, New Year's Resolutions. Some of these may even be serious.

1. I will manage my time better. I do get everything done that I need to, and most of the stuff that I want to, but I feel like there must be a better way of getting around it. This year, I'll discover that new way of working things out so that I don't constantly freak myself out with what day it is.

2. I will get better at sudoku. This is very, very important to me.

3. I will keep on an as-yet undefined schedule for cleaning the flat on a regular basis. This will probably go along with #1.

4. I will improve the overall quality of my comics. Already started on that, but I'm going to try to keep things on an upward slope rather than a plateau with a few speedbumps on it.

5. I will stop picking on cats. I may have some trouble with this one.

6. I will get actual, good, new furniture for my flat. The telly's been on crates since February - I think it's about time.

I'm sure I'll pick up this list where I left off in Wicket tomorrow. But now, it's time for poll results.

WHAT DO YOU CELEBRATE?

FIRST: Christmas - 34%

SECOND: Whatever gets me the most presents - 8%

TIE: Solstice / Bobunk / the High Holy Feast of Hide Under the Bed - 6%

Festivus - 5%

Hanukkah - 3%

Tet - 2% (Really? Dude, seriously, really? That's kinda cool if so.)

ALSO: All of the above, none of the above, Christ-o-ween, 'ChristmaHannukKwanzadan-and-wintersolstice' (so you get, what, 19 presents?), sleeping, drinking with relatives, drinking to get drunk, 'Agnostica,' not-working, and something about chocolate.

CORRECT ANSWER: 'New Google Image Day - All hail the Ruler of the Internets!'
