I Wish The World Was Flat Like The Old Days; Then I Could Travel Just By Folding A Map

Happy New Year! It's the year of the Golden Boar, you guys. May health, happiness and prosperity shower you like the salty sweat shaken from the prodigious torso of the Buddha himself. It's been a good year so far. It's been better than I could have planned, in fact. I had more fun in Texas yesterday than I've ever had in that state, and more fun than I've had in quite some time. I hope it goes as well for all of you.

Okay, this is a post divisible by 20, so now I will give credit to the songs and artists that inspired the last 20 entries. Gong Xi Fa Cai!
