Here I thought that 30 minutes after Chinese New Year, you get to do it all over again.

You took the words right out of my mouth, Cluin!

Wear red, or pink, or orange or yellow.

Eat food that colour, too.

Its good luck.

Couldn't get on here Sunday to say, "say hay boke-mahn he pah du say oh." Since I've never been to China, I don't celebrate the Chinese way. I do, however, enjoy a good game of Ute no ri for the occasion.

Year of the Dog

1922, 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006

People born in the Year of the Dog possess the best traits of human nature. They have a deep sense of loyalty, are honest, and inspire other people¡¦s confidence because they know how to keep secrets. But Dog People are somewhat selfish, terribly stubborn, and eccentric. They care little for wealth, yet somehow always seem to have money. They can be cold emotionally and sometimes distant at parties. They can find fault with many things and are noted for their sharp tongues. Dog people make good leaders. They are compatible with those born in the Years of the Horse, Tiger, and Rabbit.
