Belated Happy New Year, flist! Mine was rung in with Guitar Hero and Scribblenauts, and begun with a daft but awesome film (Sherlock Holmes) and a daft and slightly less awesome book (last one in Cassie Clare's pro trilogy), both accompanied by good food and good friends; if this sets the tone for my year I will be happy.

( 2009 in terms of academic progress, mostly to make myself feel better about not being where I wanted to be in terms of my thesis )
