I think this is how a lot of our friends are feeling right now. Me too.

It’s tradition in Japan every New Year’s Eve to gather around the TV with the family to watch kouhakuutagassen—Red vs. White Singing Competition. Celebrities sing all night in team competition.

Guns scare me. Never shot one. Wouldn’t mind going to the shooting range. But it would make me way too nervous to be near anybody holding one. Like when this dude is folding it up against his chest…freaks me out.

I thought about trying to get a pillow fight going in Charlottesville—last year was the first I’d heard of the one in SF. But then I missed Valentine’s Day and figured I’d have to wait till next year. I just learned last week that International Pillow Fight Day is March 22.
