A world in white and the end of 2009

There is a thick layer of snow on the ground, the sky has a beautiful blue hue and the moonlight is reflecting off of the pure cold white. It is Christmas Eve and I am sitting on the sofa taking stock of a year that has passed by lightning quick. Overall 2009 has been a busy, confusing, fun, interesting, compelling and beautiful year. However, I do feel ready for 2010.

Some of my favourite things from 2009 (in no particular order)

• Watching the All American Rejects in Manchester – great gig, Ritter Glitter and an array of very dodgy t-shirts
• Moving into a very cute cottage (wild elemental weather and moving chaos aside)
• Making some new friends & reconnecting with some old ones
• A very fun weekend with E in Liverpool – (Beatlemania in its purest form, plus a very fun trip to the Tate Modern – Hooray for Jackson Pollock and his awesome paintings)
• A couple of very awesome holidays – esp. The holiday in Ireland
• Being creative – I managed to get a fair amount of artwork done and worked on some new songs
• (500) Days of Summer – the best film I saw this year at the cinema

I am pretty much settled into the new house – the water pipes have now defrosted so I have running water again (always good) and I have unpacked pretty much everything. So I am on track to have a very enjoyable stress free Christmas.

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope that you have a fantastic festive period filled with lots of fun, joy and happiness. Let’s make 2010 an awesome year.

Albert Markovski: Yes. No. Uh, time, not space... No, I don't know what you're talking about.
