So yea...not but another few hours for some of us left.

Those of your who are sober enough to watch in front of an atomic clock tonight, don't forget to watch out for second number 60 as the last one of 2008. We've got a leap second at the end of the year.

Any resolutions to make beforehand or...?

I made a resolution last year to not make any resolutions in following years, and I've stuck to it pretty well.

New Years really doesn't bug me that much. It's just another day, after all

That leap second thing is really odd. I guess it'll look like the atomic clocks just stop for a second.

That leap second thing is really weird. Someone told me about it yesterday and I had no idea what they were talking about. As for resolutions? Talk on IRC more, play more video games, and post more

And to think I was going to call you this morning and see what you were doing tonight D:

Yeah I won't be doing anything tonight but playing Disgaea 2 and maybe Persona 3 FES...

Last year I was with Emily and got a little drunk...
the year before that I don't recall who I was with...
and the year before that I drank with my friend John and his friends and family.

First year in a while I'll be sober for New Years!

I never end up making resolutions because I never follow through with them. I figure, why change? I'm fine as is and it's not like I have a problem or anything. I guess if I DID make a resolution, it would be to be online a bit less than I normally am. I am on quite a lot.

Nope, they say if you're sober enough, it'll count like this: (11:59: )57, 58, 59, 60, (12:00: )00.

It'll count like that even if you aren't sober.

I forgot all about making resolutions...

Oh well. I'll think of something before midnight.


Also, I bet the extra second will screw up a lot of people.

Okay, here, let me put it another way:

It'll count like that even if you aren't sober.


It'll count like that even if you aren't sober, regardless if there's an actual leap second or not.


The joke is that you're drunk. You wouldn't be able to notice if it did it or not.

I'm doing absolutely nothing tonight.

I might just play games like I normally do.

I'll probably be upstairs doing family stuff. Maybe I'll play some video games, I dunno.

I know I'll be eating delicious food.

Every year we just sit around and play board games and eat food. I'll probably constantly be running to the computer though for some relief

No plans for tonight.

I didn't drink soda for almost a full year like I said I was going to do back at 11:59 of last year. Might do it again for next year.
