Ted’s been doing a lot of big gwurk around the house the past few days. Our Ikea stuff arrived on the 31st, so he put together a new block shelf set, which has replaced one standard bookcase and one small in the living room, and a tall partially glass-doored cabinet/shelf, which has replaced another standard and small bookcase in the kitchen. The smallest bookcase ended up in the hall, replacing a third standard sized one, which has reduced the visual impact in the hall by about 300%. He moved the…

Revolutions?
Know what my resolution last year was? To floss. It was probably the most achievable resolution I’ve ever set, and indeed, I achieved it. I established a habit which had escaped me through ten or more years of vaguely feeling it should be a habit. Sadly, I can’t think of anything as absolutely simple and achievable for the upcoming year. I can think of plenty of things I’d like to do. Exercise, for example, that perennial resolution. Well, the taxi in the morning plan works brilliantly, so I don’t see…
Blue Moon Eclipse!
Ted and I, in a fit of, er, fitfulness, went out to dinner tonight. When we came out of the restaurant, we looked up at the blue moon, which was missing a chunk. “Um,” said Ted, “where’s the Doctor?” “Obviously up there carving up the moon,” said I.

Actually, that was a fairly cool way to start it, and it’s one of the few times in my life I haven’t more or less been reading a book, looked up at seven after midnight, and said, “Oh, hey, Happy New Year,” and gone to bed. (This…
hah.
It’s the little things, I tell you. cemurphy.net is redesigned with all the lower pages tucked into the new format (except IMMORTAL BELOVED, which I have some intention of making into a PDF rather than thirty individual HTML files). I’d kind of intended to Launch It At Midnight Of The New Year, but apparently decided I couldn’t be bothered to be that dramatic. Anyway, so that’s sorted and I don’t have to think about it anymore. WORLDBREAKER has reached 28.2K. I expect I’ll hit 30K tomorrow, which is…well. If not…
