My New Year's resolution this year was to format my hard drive and reload only the essential software I use regularly (and to actually use an antivirus program, which I haven't done for the past year). Unfortunately I fulfilled my resolution (fulfilled? achieved? completed? what does one do when they actually do what they resolve to do? It usually doesn't happen, so I guess no one ever thought about it.) on New Year's Day, leaving me the rest of the year to do whatever I want.

You'll notice that I've edged out Lucas for the regular-season NFL picks crown, marking this the first year I've had that accomplishment. I will accept his challenge to continue into the playoffs though, because that seems like the sporting thing to do.

This also seems like the time to make predictions for the coming year. Everyone always recaps the previous year, but no one is bold enough to look forward:

-Lindsay Lohan will pose nude in Playboy.
-Britney Spears will get divorced.
-Ben Affleck will be in a hit movie.
-Star Wars fans will be disappointed by the new Star Wars movie yet still see it repeatedly.
-A movie I never saw will win the Best Picture Oscar.
-The Philadelphia Eagles will lose in the 2nd round of the playoffs.
-The Yankees won't win the World Series again.
-I will post more frequently and with greater quality.
