Gung-Ho

Gung Hay Fat Choy!

Today is Chinese New Year and this year is the Year of the Rat. "Rat People" live in the sewer but come out late at night to gnaw at your drywall and steal your food, notably yogurt. They are figments of my imagination. People born in the Year of the Rat, on the other hand, exist in Chinese Astrology and are said to be "leaders, pioneers and conquerors...charming, passionate, charismatic, practical and hardworking....rats can be terribly obstinate and controlling, insisting on having things their way no matter what the cost". They also tend to stink, hence the term "I smell a rat".

In related news, I saved a fortune cookie Erin gave me to open on Chinese New Year and here is the fortune in contained: "Now is a good time to finish up old tasks". Timely proverb; I am in the middle of another course at UNB, this one another one of my last course(s). I am finishing up an essay as we speak so I will take the advice of the fortune. How do they do that?

In unrelated news, the ECMAs start today. I will be on campus for said class and afterwards will be heading to the sub for a slew of shows including Grand Theft Bus, The Trews and these guys:

And so it begins...

Pace out.
