Happy New Year! And, a Global Essay Contest for Bangladesh

Son made it to Times Square, self is happy for him. Meanwhile, self is watching Larry King Live, the guest is Mindfreak Criss Angel (Ha ha ha — he made a woman lie down on a park bench and then pulled her in two! Everyone in the park went crazy and ran in all directions!) and during commercial breaks self gets to watch adverts for PedEgg and Miracle Foot Repair.

Hubby and self are making like it’s just an ordinary evening, though self did pick up a Captain’s Platter (deep fried clams, shrimp, and fish fillets) from Lobster Shack. Saw this contest announcement while browsing The Economist this evening.
