the thing itself and not the myth

It’s the first of February, and I am decreeing this the official start of 2008. Happy new year!

I didn’t get anything done in January; the first half was dedicated to clean-up from 2007, and the second was dedicated to vacation and then the plague (thanks, London Underground!), so any attempt to start fresh on any front was doomed to failure. We’ll see if it goes better in February.

There will be vacation posts happening early next week, complete with more pictures than you could possibly want to see. In related housekeeping news, I’ve changed the RSS to pull the summary rather than the whole feed. I thought, since most folks read this on LiveJournal, it is kind of cruel to inflict a page full of photos. This might cause the feed to barf at some point today, and I apologize for that in advance.

In spite of the plague, I had a marvelous time. It is nice to be home, though. My bed is amazing, I saw two Decemberists shows this week, and my mocha at Monorail Espresso Tuesday morning was darn near a religious experience.

I hope you all are well.
