Do Germans agree it's 2009?

"Hello, German acquaintance. Happy 2008!"
"NEIN!"
"Oh, right! I keep forgetting! Happy 2009!"
"NEIN!"
"Wow, you're really jazzed about it, huh?"
"NEIN!"
"Well you could've fooled me, German acquaintance. You have any big resolutions for the big new year?"
"NEIN!"
"Yeah... I don't know why I do. Nobody ever keeps 'em anyways! Am. I. Right. Slap me five!"
"NEIN!"

Some early results? I've already eaten some beef. It was hidden in the beef/turkey chili that J&K made. THAT ESS IS DELICIOUS! Srsly. Worth it. Otherwise, I've written the first episode of Shroommates, finished a new DWS song (sans lyrics), and managed to lose a couple pounds so far in 2009. I've also managed to have a cold. Boo cold. Boo not breathing through ya' nose.
