draw the blinds on yesterday

egadfly sez I have to do the year meme thing: the first line of the first post from every month in 2007. I've run them together into a paragraph for added surreality. It seems to be a nicely representative selection, but I am also forced to admit that, when not going "eep!", I write ridiculously long sentences.

Welcome to 2007. My evenings have become somewhat babylonian in the last little while, but I am nonetheless finding time to rewatch Torchwood, on the grounds that dodgy sexual undercurrents and quasi-realism in contemporary Brit sf TV can only distract me from the dogdy sexual undercurrents and quasi-realism in my thesis. The Army of Reconstruction have evinced a hitherto-unsuspected ability to warp space-time. For someone with all the submarine functionality and aerodynamic grace of a brick in water-wings, I'm bizarrely fond of immersing myself in water. 'Tis the merry month of May, and as usual a new month signals the fact that I've not done half of the things I should have done months ago. I couldn't work out why Todal, feline of the 10-second attention span, should choose Wednesday evening to blitz me with an extended, 20-minute affection session, complete with staring, purring, climbing all over me, putting her whiskers in my ear, and that cute bit where she pats my nose with her paw. Shrek the Third: a loose collection of gags, some amusing, kicked into a semblance of zombie movement by a weak, wandering and featureless plot. Eep! Happy Birthday, dear wolverine_nun, and I am truly sorry that your otherwise pleasant, low-key and extremely well-catered party should have been the venue for the resurgence, after about five years lying doggo, of my Truly Weird Intermittent Food Allergy. I am sorry to report that Fishy, feline companion for nearly thirteen years now, is no more. In the latest installment of the Horrid Revelations Of A Knitting Idiot: success! Progression coded all day.

By way of actual original content, Cautionary sf for American presidential hopefuls. Snarky, entertaining.

Welcome to 2007 ... all day.

What a marvellous whirlwind of blended sense! (Blended sense, a term invented back in the mists of oh about 20 seconds ago, is where you take things that make sense and then mix them up so that together they no longer make sense - but look as though they should because, well, bit by bit they do. Speaking of long sentences and all that.) Great idea to do a single paragraph.

Also, I'm thrilled someone actually did do the meme. I was quite seriously going to pick a random name from my flist and do it for them in a comment somewhere.

I'm doing it, I'm doing it... though it's depressing to discover just how banal my blog is.
