Look at that, first post of the New Year and it turns out to be a poem about the inactivity of German intellectuals following the Nazi rise to power. Who’d have thought eh?

I trust that everyone had a lovely Christmas and a happy New Year? I certainly did, I ate, drank and was merry. It wasn’t just on account of the booze either, I got to spend a lot of time with my friends and, if I’m honest, there’s almost nothing I enjoy more. The whole family side of things I can take or leave. I know it sounds curmudgeonly but I’m really not a family person, never have been. Spending time with my friends however, well, trite as it may be, it was the best present I could have had.

That or a giant laser.

I’ll accept friends in lieu (or is it leiu) of lasers though. Even if some of them do persist in insinuating irritating things every time I open my mouth.

So, 2007. The big two, zero, zero, seven. What’s that all about then? Or rather, what’s it all going to all be about. All. Hmm? I’m thinking it’s going to be all about the skiing and the trips abroad and the finding someone who’ll put up with me for more than five minutes before deciding I’m perfect friend material. It’s going to be about speedboats (I want to go on one) and country houses and long weekends and walks in the park.

Unless I get that laser, then it’ll be all about world domination and monkey butlers. You?
