as today's custom google logo indicates, today marks the beginning of the year of the rat.
:>
my wife said she wants to make something thematic for dinner but other than that i don't think we'll be doing anything special to mark the occasion.

In the paper today was an interview with a Chinese girl living here and she said she preferred to call it the year of the mouse. I don't know why. Happy Chinese New Year. -

daily: my pleasure! heh...you know, the custom icon is usually a link, btw. :>
paper: why thank you, and happy new year to you, too! :>
pontius pilate: dude, you found chinese?! that's awesome!
tbs: thank you! :>
super z: and to you, my dear friend. :>
infernal: and to you! :D
biglove: hey, good to see you again! we gonna see you more regularly any time soon? :>
skald: i've seen it translated both ways, to be honest, and not being familiar w/ chinese, i couldn't say why it's translated both ways. and thank you, you too. :>
moon: kung hei fat choi, sir! gah, i neglected to wear either red or gold! i refuse on principle to wear orange, however, i'm afraid. :>
bluegum: those are indeed the other signs in chinese astrology. where do you live that you had your election in november? the thematic dinner consisted of cold sesame noodles, a kind of pancake-like thing and a form of sushi, which was quite tasty. :>

Ed: We had Chinese takeout for dinner tonight. :) I kind of laughed about that. We ended up doing takeout because it was faster and the hubby wanted to be able to get to eat before he ran off to basketball after he got home at work. -

CW: and to you! :>
super z: very cool! :> and hey, takeout is a great timesaver. :D

moonriver said on Feb 08, 2008....
ed -- same here. you'll never get me to wear orange. unless, of course, i get to join the dutch national football team. a somewhat far-fetched possibility at this point in time, i admit.... :-)

broken_angel said on Feb 08, 2008....

kung hei fat choi guys, even if it's already so late.. but like what they say, better late than never huh? -

Got this one too.. although I am unsure which kanji they are directly. (Did I say that right? o_O )
-
silverwhisper said on Feb 08, 2008....
um...kanji would be related to japanese, dude. :>

Pontius_Pilate said on Feb 08, 2008....
See said I didn't know for sure. lol
Thought kanji was just the writing style. :shrug:
New brain wrinkle it seems eh?
-
silverwhisper said on Feb 08, 2008....
well, it's a writing style, yes, but for japanese. no big deal. :>
