Two things I truly hate about new years is all the hype and all the lists like the Best Of 2007. The only thing worse than living with all the media coverage of celebrity screw ups, divorces and boring minutiae about their daily lives is reliving them all in one day. I mean really, hearing about how your friend married the wrong guy, started drinking, shaved her head and then lost her kids sounds like the woman down the street from me not a celebrity. Bring back the untouchables like Princess Grace of Monaco. Okay, so she was schtuping her footman. Who cares? Actually, I do. The media can report about that.

I wish to abjure the culture of inconsequence from now on....not just in 2008. There's my new years resolution.
