For people who celebrate Chinese New Year — or just heart Chinese food — today marks the official beginning of the Year of the Dragon. According to legend, the dragon is a symbol of good fortune, intense power and authority.
That’s so hot.
But I have to wonder — what kind of dragon will 2012 be?
Will it be like the dragon in the first Shrek movie — ferocious and fire-breathing one moment, then a puddle of mush the next, all because of the attentions of a wise-cracking yet lovable Donkey?
(And how many months of the year will be fire-like, and how many mush?)
Or will 2012 be a dragon with a temperament more in keeping with the three beasts in the Tri-Wizard Tournament in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire? They also breathed fire and brimstone, but were initially restrained by bars and chains. When they finally broke free, they fought till the death to vanquish their enemies.
Not sure I want to go up against a year like that.
No, I would prefer the Year of the Dragon to be more like Toothless in How to Train Your Dragon. He was first misunderstood and underestimated, but man oh man — didn’t he end up being exactly the kind of dragon you wanted on your team when the going got tough.
Yep. That’s the 2012 I’d like to see.
Broom fortune telling
While I was making my bed this morning — yes, I do, every day — I heard a crash from the living room. It was sudden, it was loud and it was definitely glass.
Rory Dog and I both rounded the corner at the same time to find…
Rory wisely jumped on the couch for safety.
Now, if I were the superstitious sort (and I think we have established here in numerous posts that I certainly am), this accident would give me pause.
The sands in my hourglass didn’t sedately run from orb to orb — they were thrown through the air, ground into the carpet, and then swept up and thrown in the trash!!
What can this possibly mean?!?!
Nothin’ good.
