New Year

[bugshaw]

In Xanadu did Kubla Khan a stately pleasure dome decree,

this being an attempt to make the 'first line of first post of each month' meme a little better than last year's.

2007 was very full, with a lot of unexpected things.

2008 I'm not making resolutions per se (I have a goal of getting a "proper" job, either permanently or just for the summer) but I do expect to see a lot of changes. Last year I started drinking coffee, and tea. This year I have drunk whisky and liked it. What next - marmalade?

Ah, these words don't go anywhere near what's in my head. EDIT: Being, rather than doing, that's what I'm looking at. Doing the MSc, doing the job hunt, being me in the rest of the time and seeing what that's like.

I wish you all the best for 2008.

Oh ho, can I now find another 11 poems which reference bad movies? I was going to go for Jabberwocky next, but...

How do you drink marmalade?

It gets thinner if you heat it up.

I could use it to sweeten my tea.

*whew*

Glad I checked. That's the first thing that occurred to me, but then I saw there were eight comments already, and thought, surely someone among all the commenters made the joke already.

Thank you, sir or madam as the case may be!

2008!!

See you Friday!

I was given three small pots of whisky-flavoured marmalade for Xmas if you really want to live dangerously.

Not part of my aspirations for 2008! ;-)

Oh, I remember when that song came out, and Relax and Two Tribes, and all the frothing of the moral majority. FGTH were so dangerous and corruptive 23 years ago...

Yeah, I was just playing quote-the-lyric. Hurray for YouTube. :)

May you have a happy and sufficiently (but not excessively) interesting new year.

(Hint: the Australians make a rather good ginger marmalade, suitable for breakfast if you like (or need) to wake up suddenly.)
