cheers to the new year, and cheers to the commune for including us on the florida new year's countdown! i really wish josh and i could've made it over there - but april and sidewalk arts isn't so far away... things were fun here in long beach, josh and i hung out with my sisters danielle and brittanie watching such classic films as jiminy glick in lalawood, cakeboy and four rooms, and playing some medal of honor european assault! (not so much assault as it was got my ass handed to me repeatedly. i was really having an off night, i swear i kick more ass at that game normally...)

and now onto some new years business: angela daniels, stand up and take a bow! as the first winner in the yearly points contest, angela (with a whopping 16,095 points) will get a free painting of whatever she wants!

her chosen subject matter? picture a pirate ship. with mary kate and ashely olsen and angela on it. and they're making doogie howser walk the plank. the girl's done me proud, and i can't wait to start it!

and since that points screen is looking oh so blank with the rollover of the new year, leave me some of your resolutions - each one gets 10 points! my resolutions include:

* actually go to the gym instead of talking about it all the time (i really should stop making that resolution... it's been on the list for the past like 3 years and has never really worked out)
* rework this website, maybe with some fancy css shenanigans
* paint more wackiness
* do more screenprinting
* star in a broadway musical
* pay off my credit cards
* crack open those learn spanish cds that have been collecting dust on my computer desk for a year and a half now
* punch josh in the nards
* rock more
* suck less
