I HEREBY DECLARE TODAY "PANTS-FREE NEW YEAR".

I CAN'T BELIEVE WE LET THE KIDS STAY UP UNTIL ALMOST 1 IN THE MORNING.

IT IS NOW 2012 HERE IN NEW MEXICO, AND I WAS TREATED TO A VERY NICE FREE SHOW AT MIDNIGHT BY MY NEIGHBOR DOING FIRE POI AND MY OTHER NEIGHBORS SETTING OFF HIGHLY ILLEGAL FIREWORKS.

IN PUEBLO, IT IS A TRADITION TO SHOOT YOUR GUNS AT THE NEW YEAR.

I SEEM TO HAVE CORRECTLY GUESSED THAT NUMBER ONE WOULD BE ADELE'S "ROLLING IN THE DEEP," WHICH IS OKAY WITH ME.

I JUST ENTERTAINED THE MASSES (ALL 7 PEOPLE HERE) WITH "SEXY AND I KNOW IT" BY LMFAO.

I LIED, THIS IS PROBABLY THE HIGHEST RANKING SONG I GENUINELY LIKE ON THE COUNTDOWN.

I HATE THIS SONG BECAUSE IT IS TWO NOTES, AND ALSO BECAUSE IT WAS BETTER WHEN IT WAS SUNG BY RUSSIAN FAUX-LESBIAN SCHOOLGIRLS AND CALLED "ALL THE THINGS SHE SAID."

I JUST STRUGGLED THROUGH "TWO PRINCES" BY SPIN DOCTORS.

I WONDER IF I CAN CONVINCE LEX TO OPEN THE BOTTLE OF CHAMPAGNE THAT I BROUGHT UP FOR THIS WEEKEND WHEN WE GET BACK TO HER HOUSE, BUT I DOUBT IT'LL HAPPEN SINCE SHE'S HAD A FAIR BIT TO DRINK ALREADY.
