Happy New Year~

Spent a most excellent night in Roppongi last night with Andrew and friends.  Unfortunately, I have to start the new year off with a cold.  What luck.  But, I ate soba on the last day of 2007 for long life and visited the shrine to wish for good luck at 4:30am, January 1st before hitting up MacDonald's for the first meal of the year.  Got home around 7am, slept til 2pm and spent the rest of the day watching CSI:Miami on DVD.  This is promising.  Here's wishing you and yours a very happy and prosperous Year of the Rat.  For all you '84 babies, this is your year!  Make it a good one!!

去年、ありがとうございます。　今年も、よろしくお願いします！
Kyonen, arigatou gozaimasu.  Kotoshi mo, yoroshiku onegaishimasu!
Thank you so much for last year.  This year, I ask for your favour again!
