My felicitous pericombobulations to you all…

// January 5th, 2010 // dirt on the author, funness, humour

Yes, I have been watching Blackadder. I received the full giftbox set for Christmas from my beloved brother, who shall forevermore be in my good graces, and have been watching non stop since then (the two words used in this post title are from the episode in which Blackadder attempts to piss off Samuel Johnson by creating words that don’t appear in his dictionary…for those who needed reminding. For the uninitiated…..get off this blog and initiate yourselves damn you, and don’t come back until you know all the words of the little goblin song, or you shall have a spanking and no cake.)

Due to some, shall we say, ‘unusual’ circumstances at work, I have been working from home for nearly 2 months now and while I haven’t had much of a holiday over the festive season as certain matters remain unresloved, I have had the time to put together an online portfolio (which I have been meaning to do for aaages) You can see it HERE (you lucky thing, you!).

You will notice I still have to design a header for this blog, about which I’ve been very lazy (so what’s new?) But I promise it is almost next on my list of things to do (after unblocking the drains, sanding down the skirting boards and milking the family cow).

Most of my new year’s resolutions came somewhere close to being fulfilled last year.

1. I did go back to the gymn (for a while) until I didn’t go back often enough and they cancelled my membership. I bought myself a new membership for Christmas, and intend to stubbornly stick to my guns this time.

2. I tried to eschew negative people and negative vibes, and the minute I presented the universe with that challenge, I was roundly bitchslapped (remember, we don’t get to choose all the people we have to interact with).

3. Found plenty of sunshine, especially in the last month, and am now toasty brown

4. I came very close to buying my dream bike…that carrot still is still dangling, but dangling much closer.

5. What I DID do right, was quit smoking (4 and a half months ago) and as of Thursday the 7th, won’t have touched alcohol in 2 years!

SO…  This year:

1. Keep up the gymn, try to stick to a healthy diet.

2. Remember you can’t avoid negative people and negative vibes, but you can choose whether they become blips on your radar or flies in your Evian.

3. Buy the goddamn motorcycle and get the hell out of town more often!

Love to you all peeps – hope this new decade (if it is a new decade) meets and exceeds your wishes and expectations. 2009 was a year with a great deal of breakage, damage and sudden pain for me – Kali stepped up to the plate and went to with her chainsaw. If the cycle has its way, I can only hope that 2010 will be a year of healing, restoration and creation.

I leave you for now with this AWESOME cartoon clip given to me by a friend today, which has to do with cats and flies and love and furniture and stuff…
