(very belated this, but happy year of the Dog to you all! Off hand, I don't know anything special about this kind of year, so have a good one. Any resolutions made/broken yet?
and of course...
chinese new year is valentines day i think. So it's very early
I'm going on the Japanese year, which is the same as the UK, Australia etc (Gegorian? Augustinian? You know what I mean)
Chinese Year of the (Big) Dog starts on 29 January.
*wuff*
I am Metal Dog!
Very loyal when fed; bark worse than bite; tendency to sniff strangers bottoms.
actaully not quite there my newly relocated buddy.9i take a few months off and every body moves house.
its this month 28th in fact.chinese calendar lunar new year.and the year of the Strontium dog.
trust me i would know.(wifes chinese,infact entire set of inlaws are,even my own dog respondes to requests made in manadarin)
though it does jump around like the easter bunny.
well Japanese year of the Dog started on January 1. SO have a happy year of the Dog anyway (or, if you like, wait until the 28th and then have a happy year of the Dog).
my resolutions are:
Finish War and Peace (almost half way there)
Do some proper writing
Pass my Dip Ed course
Get back into weight lifting
oh and write a letter to Tharg about every publication I get from him
yours elbowtypingly
Happy (Chinese) New Year!

The sudden appearance in the street of a Chinese dragon followed by some guys with drums last night suddenly makes sense...
