so this is christmas

once again, i've been appalling at keeping this thing up to date. it's not even as if there's not been anything worth writing about for the last couple of months. having lost and job and found another one. having a little trip to the sun last month (gratuitous pictures of which are on the photos site - which I've just noticed there isn't a link for on here). but it's xmas now. work's as quiet as a morgue (no, that's not what the new job is) - which probably explains why i'm actually blogging something for a change. the halls are decked. the tree is up. the shopping is more or less finished. the turkey's in the fridge. i'm having a crack at xmas dinner this year - which should be fine. after all, it's really just a roast dinner with the added pressure of ruining everyone's xmas is you fuck up. so the giggle of redundancy lasted about a month in total and i managed to find a job who were nice enough to let me take the holiday we'd booked. which was fantastic. lots of lazing around. a nice accomodation upgrade. a few too many german nudists but you can't have it all i suppose. maybe a new years resolution, not that i really believe in then, could be to post more frequently on here. but we all know that's not going to happen. perhaps a quality not quantity system could be applied like on the moblog, but that'd probably mean posts would dry up completely. ho ho ho hum. see you in 2009
