Did you know that it's been ten years since the Y2K scare? I remember sitting at my best friend's house, calmly explaining to both her and her brother <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem">that the real trouble was coming in 2038</a>. And, just as expected, nothing happened.

Anyway, that's the past, and 2038 is still almost three decades away. For now, take solace in the fact that Millennials have not yet taken over the Internet. (Does it scare you that <a href="http://xkcd.com/647/" people born post-9 11 are old enough to use the Internet< a>?) And, you can put our <a href="http://lotrovault.ign.com/View.php?view=CommunityScreenshots.List&category_select_id=24">new wallpaper</a> on your desktop! Check it out:

Are you familiar with that firework? It's from the Summer Festival. It's also directly from the books:

There were green trees with trunks of dark smoke: their leaves opened like a whole spring unfolding in a moment, and their shinin branches dropped glowing flowers down upon the astonished hobbits, disappearing with a sweet scent just before they touched their upturned faces. (from The Fellowship of the Ring chapter 1, at Bilbo's Party)

Now, go. Have a good night. And, if you've got the time yet to do so, <a href="http://blog.ruhlman.com/2009/12/excellent-cooked-eggnog-recipeand-happy-new-year.html">make some eggnog</a>. (That's the cooked version. Don't want you getting sick, or you won't be able to read the site anymore!)

(Yes, I am well aware that raw eggs are almost always edible. Better safe than sorry, though.)
