Happy birthday, Rob, who is now the coolest forty-year-old I know! He also had a great party to show for it. You may also notice on the sidebar that I have added a links section, with our first link! Here is to Pax Romano, who gave us some valuable tips for our web site at the party. He is also a fabulous Netflix buddy, although neither of us are quite sure how the Netflix buddy system works yet. Did I mention I am up to 260 movies in my queue?

Does any of pop5 have New Year's Resolutions they wish to share? Mike and I were making up resolutions for each other, but I can't post those. I also don't think they are enforceable. My resolutions so far are to:

* walk normally sometime this year.
* shave my legs sometime this year. These two are related - the instability of my ankle is proving detrimental to my personal hygiene.
* finish my Master's (it would help if I finished the last paper for the fall semester...)
* after that, move up my career ladder, i.e. get a new job with more money.
* get into the doctorate program, although I have technically done all I can to fulfill this goal. Now it is up to the admissions gods.
* spruce up our web site.

Post yours in the comments!
