Happy New Year!

[Zhubin]

You guys remembered that today is Norouz, the Iranian New Year, right?!

No...no, you probably forgot again.

Have a happy 1387, jerks.

My boss made me come in today! I had to miss some awesome Norouz Eve parties last night.

What a jerk.

Does this mean I missed a golden opportunity to kiss a random Persian chick at midnight last night?

Let me just quickly point out that that abomination is in no way representative of Persian music. We're basically talking about the equivalent of Backstreet Boys stuff here.

I will join in the Happy New Year wishes. I love less-observed holidays. Russian Orthodox Easter is only a month away!

Happy Purim everyone.

On this Good Friday, let us remember that chocolate died for your sins.

Lot of holidays right around now. Probably because of the Vernal Equinox. Today is the Hindu celebration Holi. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holi

Some of my co-workers were talking about it being a Muslim holiday yesterday, but as they were Pakistani, I doubt it had anything to do with the Iranian New Year
