2008, a/k/a The Worst Year EVAH, can’t end soon enough and just like much of the year, its last day is also a disappointment. Heavy snow is forcing almost everyone to stay home tonight except for the most ardent drunks. Luckily, Boyfriend won a bottle of champagne at his family’s Christmas Yankee Swap and we’re getting Chinese food (which we had to order at like 2 p.m.) and if I try really hard, I might be able to stay awake long enough to make it to midnight.

Things that are annoying me today:

1. The fact that I spent over an hour completely rewriting a story one of our writers submitted (a story I believe was stolen from another newspaper), yet he still got paid for it and I got no additional money in my check.

2. That Jonathan is still on Survivor. God, I can’t stand him!

3. The fact that I still have two more weeks until my vacation.

4. My car’s muffler disconnected itself from the exhaust. My car is now extremely loud, and not in the cool race-car kind of way.

5. The fact that my favorite TV shows are all on hiatus until February.

6. The fact that I am only guaranteed four more Patriots games.

7. The fact that it is going to rain today.

The smell of old lady perfume.
