Funtime Memetime

Monday December 3, 2007

This time last year a popular meme did the rounds. I liked it so much I’m doing it again. To take part, just quote the first sentence from your first post for every month of the last year. Here’s mine. They say time goes quicker as you grow older; I say it goes quicker still when you blog.

January

Jakob Nielsen has been delivering articles to my inbox for some time now.

February

Stone circles, strange cults, mankind in danger and an alien menace.

March

Steerpike was aware, directly he had entered the terrible room, that he was behaving strangely.

April

After dealing with travel sickness and a neighbour’s over concern about the height of my lawn, I am now back online.

May

My posts are becoming increasingly serious lately so a meme to lighten things up.

June

After looking forward so much to reading Don De Lillo’s Falling Man I’m unable to hide my bitter disappointment in the novel.

July

You may be familiar with my recent frustration on discovering that Microsoft Vista is incompatible with my beloved home wireless network.

August

In Life Class Pat Barker revisits the setting of the First World War, the ugly moment in history she so excellently helped to document in her Regeneration trilogy written ten or so years ago.

September

I’ve been a latecomer to the fiction of Irvine Welsh.

October

The air is crisp and there is a definite chill in my bones.

November

That long-drawn, wavering howl has, for all its fearful resonance, some inherent sadness in it, as if the beasts would love to be less beastly if only they knew how and never cease to mourn their own condition.

December

This is a segment from the 1972 film Tales from the Crypt, featuring Joan Collins as a murderous housewife who gets her just desserts.
