Tooth and Claw

2007.

The Year of Bond, as I've been telling anyone who'll listen.

I hope all your Christmas and New Year celebrations went as well as mine did, madcap Bonkers fans, and that the gap in posting wasn't too painful (I know, but I'm back now, there there). And now we face an entire, brand new year, filled with promise and excitement! Well, we know a few things: His Tonyness steps down as Prime Minister this year, and George Dubya is in his final whole year before the 2008 Presidential Elections. The end of an era? One I won't cry over missing.

What I could do with missing, however, is January. With my Imperial China essay due (and no work started on it) and three exams (which I'm dreading) all sitting at the end of the month like big, sinister guardians of February, it's a hurdle I could do with missing. In fact, I wish I had one of these to just jump to February 1st, 2007:

Alas, I don't, and even if I did, it would only serve as a telephone booth... I could try and call February 1st and see how it all went, but otherwise... yes... moving on...

I'm off into town now to meet with the lovely Elspeth and catch up on events, then Thursday morning at 09:00 I'm in the library to get this Imperial China essay started, fighting tooth and claw to meet the deadline. The truckloads of research I need to do should be fun (that's a lie, but it makes me feel better)! Well, have a Happy New Year one and all, and I shall see you or write to you all soon.

Peace out, ladies and mentalmen. I shall return...
