It’s 2009 already, and I haven’t done my best of the year post. Me, Myself and I I suppose 2008 will go down as the year that I made good on my exit strategy. For a while, I thought my own characteristically laidback nature had got me into a wee bit of a hole, but ultimately, the [ ... ]

Last night when the moon was at its peak, I traveled down a path to that strange place I had almost forgotten existed. My bare feet touching the grainy sand as my legs felt the bitter wrath of the thorns on either side of the narrow path, I soon arrived at my destination. When the [ ... ]

It was about half past nine in the night when my uncle called us from work to tell us that it was snowing last night. I couldn’t believe my ears because for as long as I can remember I’ve wanted to see snow falling on Christmas Day. For some reason it made all the sense [ ... ]

On the street corner there are posters of a new Adult Movie that’s now showing at theatres. The woman on the poster [ ... ]

Ok first of all thanks for tagging me DD… anyway, i’m still not entirely sure what we’re supposed to do but I hear we’re supposed to write down some things that we did this year and how this Christmas is different to the others ya? Anyway, here goes. This year has been most interesting because I [ ... ]

Hello, people! Yes, I know, I’ve neglected you. Sin. I’m sorry. I’m afraid anyone expecting a triumphant return is going to have their hopes dashed. Again. Sin. I’m sorry. You see. I have two papers to write. And exactly a week to do them in. Hmm, no dashing off slipshod shizz either. Needs to be top quality produce, [ ... ]

The inimitable RD has gone and done it again – gone and done a ‘Christmas Tag’ number, wanting to know what his readers (and others too, perhaps) have done during the past year.
