Welcome to 2009, dear little blog. I hope you enjoyed your first NYE. Personally, I’m not yet convinced by this 2009 lark. It’s still so cold that all I want to do is stay burrowed in many layers of blankets and knitwear. And that term-starts-tomorrow, end-of-school-holidays feeling does not provoke in me one iota of eagerness to return to the office. If someone could please provide me with a paid full-time writing position, I’d take it in a heartbeat. At the moment, however that seems to be unforthcoming. The stuff that dreams are made of. So tomorrow I’ll be battling the grumpy hordes in the morning rush hour to renew my travel card and traipse back into work.
I know I’m being a bit of a scrooge about this. And I am excited about what 2009 might bring. Especially Berlin at the end of this month. 2008 was the first time in four years that I didn’t go to Berlin, so I’m long overdue another visit to my favourite city. My ever-talented housemates have an exhibition opening here in February, and you didn’t expect me to forgo a chance to get in on the action, did you?
But other than that, 2009 is mainly going to be about battening down the hatches, writing, saving, and planning. 2008 was my first full year in London, and I accomplished a lot, but there’s still much to be done. So on that note, I’ll be finishing this here to go and get on with it.
My latest BitchBuzz post, on Virginie Despentes, can be found here. And very soon I should be able to share with you my latest project. But for now, hope you’ve not eaten too many Quality Street, and if you’re back in work tomorrow, you have my utmost sympathy.
