@ MrJones:

Um.. I don’t know actually. I figured it might be an interesting experiment to see if people who don’t usually comment click on it. You know – it’s like that “I have nothing interesting to add, but this conversation pertains to my interests” link on facebook.

@ Mart:

Yes. We are lucky that the Tigger flu doesn’t work that way. :)

@ Tormod Haugen:

Wow… You actually still use dead-tree calendars? We totally switched to electronic ones long time ago. This way you don’t actually have to remember to change them the last day of the year and thus the the end of the world is averted automagically.

That said, my grandmother still uses a “kitchen calendar” and it usually stays up till mid January which is usually when someone remembers that these things expire, and purchases a new one for her.

Also, while the old calendar is up, this is pretty much the pattern for everyone in our household:

1. Walk up to the calendar
2. Stare at it for a second to make sure – it’s no longer December
3. Flip to the next page
4. Realize that paper calendars don’t work this way
5. Say: “we need a new calendar” to no one in particular
6. Pull out the cell phone and use it instead

At the beginning of a new year, I usually get out a piece of paper and write the year over and over again. I filled up half a page with “2010 2010 2010…” this morning. That way, I won’t keep accidentally writing “2009” all month.

Your post makes me realize that I should type it a bunch of times, too. I probably type the year more than I handwrite it. I’m going to go type “2010” a bunch of times, to train my fingers.

Happy New Year.

This post totally made my day.

I bring greetings from the ancient civilization “The road to the North”. After going through the ancient ritual of “Checking the kitchen calendar” I can bring you the news that there are no tomorrow… yet.

Later this evening we will go through the ancient ritual of “Changing the calendar on the kitchen wall”, ensuring you all will have a world to live in for another year.

There is an ancient prophecy named “Oops, I forgot to change the calendar in time” – but the specifics of it has been lost in time. It should strike in one of the years to come, though. Possibly 2012.

(and a happy New Year to you too)

Whats the point of the I like this post?

We like all your posts!

Thank god we’ll just be mauled and eaten. I was expecting the tiger to go “woo-hoo-hoo-hooo” and bounce all over you. That’s a fate much, much worse than death.
