Happy leap day!

Leap years don't get enough attention. Leap day only comes once every four years, and do we do anything special for it? No. Imagine how much it would suck to have your birthday on leap day. On the bright side, though, if you lived for 100 years, you'd only technically have 25 birthdays.

Anyway, I think we should have a new national holiday for leap day. We could combine aspects of all other holidays and make it a super holiday. We could all get a four-day weekend, dress up as Santa Claus, go begging door-to-door for turkey and watch a fireworks show while we search for eggs filled with heart-shaped candy with resolutions written on them.

Huh, when you combine all of the holiday traditions like that, they all seem really silly!

Rock Band rules

Last Saturday night Matt and I had a small get together with a few folks I work with and Tracy. We played Guitar Hero for a bit and switched to Rock Band before too long. I've got to say, Rock Band is a whole lot of fun for everyone, no matter who is playing. It's great because the song selection is awesome and everyone can switch off between the parts. Everyone is always afraid of singing, but once you start, you see that nobody cares if you suck and it's just fun. I have a feeling this will become a more regular event, and that's just fine with me!
