Looking forward to them, balon! And thanks for finding this!
Happy New Year, Watchers!
I resolve to take better care of my health this year. And I'm gonna try to self-publish two more books.
Well, one, for sure....

Synes, synes, everywhere are synes
Blocking out the scenery, breaking my mind
Auld this, don't auld that
Can't you lang the synes?
Murrin, that's interesting. I wonder whether anybody's going to mount a Bloomsday-style oral read of all of his works at midnight...

i've had this with actors before, on the set,
where they get upset about the [size of my]
trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,
cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.

Happy new year, folks.
Could be an interesting year ahead of me. Rather than do nothing all year as usual, I've been planning a trip to Toronto. No particular reason I've chosen Toronto, just on a whim, but the point is I'll actually be out of the house doing new things. Nothing booked yet, hopefully I won't chicken out (I think just being able to say I've been to Niagara Falls will be enough to make me go through with it, really).

Hmm, how far is Niagara Falls from Chez Fist?
Murrin, did you know that World Fantasy Convention 2012 is in Toronto? Just sayin'....

Happy New Year
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

"People without hope not only don't write novels, but what is more to the point, they don't read them.
They don't take long looks at anything, because they lack the courage.
The way to despair is to refuse to have any kind of experience, and the novel, of course, is a way to have experience."
-Flannery O'Connor
"In spite of much that militates against quietness there are people who still read books. They are the people who keep me going."
-Elisabeth Elliot, Preface, "A Chance to Die: The Life and Legacy of Amy Carmichael"

HAPPY NEW YEAR! 
Fireworks from Sydney Harbor last night. (It's 9pm the following day now.)
Total overkill, but 'fully sick mate!'...
www.youtube.com/watch?v=eC6fX3weCrU
P.S. I didn't attend the above craziness. I don't do little crowds, let alone ginormous ones! But it does look impressive from a safe distance.
P.S. Thanks SD, I learnt another word from you:
"The wildebeest (plural wildebeest, wildebeests or wildebai), also called the gnu (play /ˈnuː/ noo or /ˈnjuː/ new)[1] is an antelope of the genus Connochaetes."
