That Was The Year That Was

The meme of the year: go through your year, give the first sentence of the first entry (memes apart) for each month. Here is my 2006:


January: Happy New Year!

February: I am feeling rough today.

March: My mother should be getting out today — she is really champing at the bit to get home.

April: If you’re wondering, stochastic blue-sky research is the marvellous term coined by New Scientist’s Feedback column for idly surfing on company time (see the 25th February issue).

May: Beltane has always been a time when we have gone to group rituals or events; not this year.

June: OK, time for some moaning, whingeing and ranting.

July: Well, I can’t say surprised is a good description of how I felt about Doctor Who, since it worked out pretty much as I thought it would after I saw last week’s teaser: if the teaser featured the Cybermen so prominently, there really could be only one big surprise, and that was hinted at by the extermination effect.

August: Just in the past hour or so, I have been feeling a bit off.

September: A stupid accident has led to me having a small but painful partial-thickness burn on the dorsum of my left foot.

October: Yesterday we were rather looking forward to munchkinstein's party.

November: As a Heathen, I don’t see Samhuinn as the new year.

December: After all the physical ups and downs, it was a day of pure, blissful relaxation.
