Happy New Year, everyone!

I hope 2011 has been okay and 2012 will be better -- though, at least for me and my fellow Americans, I have some slight doubts about that. OHAI ELECTION YEAR. But let's think positive thoughts for a few days, anyway. And I'm determined to finish my waaaaay-overdue replies tomorrow if I have to stay up all night. And Mark liked Tom Bombadil in general and is a bit stunned at the fabulousness of Tolkien, so the world is pretty okay despite nightmares about Rick Santorum becoming president.
