That's right, 2008 is the year of Kate*, and will therefore obviously be way better than 2007.
The other day I was walking down College to go meet Vasuda, and I wasn't really paying attention to where I was going. I didn't know what time it was, but I thought I might be running a bit late, so I was walking pretty fast. I didn't notice the large (and fresh) pile of dog poo sitting steamily on the sidewalk in front of me until it was too late and I was already skidding forward on one foot, totally out of control and past the elusive balance point. Lucky for me, at the last second my momentum pushed my body forward, popping me out of the seemingly-inevitable "ass-plant-in-the-fresh-poo" plan that I had seemed so locked into.
*It rhymes, so you know it is true.
