Thanks to the time-traveling wonder of the International Dateline, it's already New Years Eve here in Tokyo.

Yes, welcome to 2008, the year of the Rodent/ Rat/Mickey Mouse!

In the 12-year cycle of the Orient [Wikikipedia], the Year of the Rat is thought as a year for go-getters with charm. In other words, it's gonna be a real Mickey Mouse Year. See a mousey photo of me enjoying the new year at my 3Yen website.

And enjoy starting off this funky Mickey Mouse kind of a year with my MP3 of the "The Mouse" by Señor Soul from his 1969 album of gumbo-funk, It's Your Thing.
