the sounds of Canadians playing
"Rockets Fall on Rocket Falls"

Wow, these early morn news shows providing us with a montage of all the great things that happened this year, great in the sense that they defined this year. Sniper shootings, suicide bombers, several children abducted and murdered, Robert Blake's arrest, Winona Ryder's trial, tanks in foreign streets, people crying, fires, more bombers, Arafat's blown to shit compound, Martha Stewart, Enron, man, what a great year. Hey, those miners got out alive. Now Dick Clark talking about B2K and Coldplay, talking about how he gets up every day and thanks God for everything. Goddamn, now the list of celebrities who died. I forgot about Dudley Moore and Milton Berle.
Whoa, it is almost 2003. That's weird. David Cross explaining how terrible September 11th was, he lived in the village at the time. Saying that, with all the dust and smoke blowing through the streets, he decided that the towers must have been insulated with tires and skunks. Now things are looking up. Episode of Pete and Pete where the younger Pete set off on his bike to catch the New Year in every time zone, in effect making his year last longer.
Festivities later tonight. I swear the weatherman just said "J. Lo" for no reason in the middle of his 5-day forecast.
Remember, "Rabbit Rabbit" on the first. Happy New Year.
