gung hay fat choy

today's the big day! chinese new year!

this is a big day in myshkinville. all things begin anew and superstition abounds. i'm expected to observe a few customs. all cleaning is supposed to be done in the days preceding new year so the house is clean and there is no cleaning to be done on new years day. apparently it washes away good karma. this includes laundry and washing hair.

there is to be no discord in the house today. if the year starts off with discord in the house, then the house will have discord the rest of the year.

there is also a ton of food. in most chinese occasions food plays a large part. ruby feckin well loves chinese new year.

do these rules apply to billy pilgrim?

absolutely not!
