Apart from a little linguistical rant, I've been quite quiet on the blogging front this month. This has been for a variety of reasons, not all of them cheerful ones, but once again the urge to waffle has returned. The end of 2008 was a thought-provoking time; it was without doubt the most emotionally varied year of my life. I won't break out into a fit of rollercoaster-related cliched metaphors, but I'm sure you get the gist.
Despite this, I reckon that it's a great thing to be able to escape the more serious things that life throws at us. Mocking the mundane and focusing on the fernickety is sometimes criticised as inappropriate, as an insufficient reaction to matters of more gravity. Yet we all do it; we all absorb ourselves in the insignificant to form a protective shell of refracted perspective, a blanket of the banal.
I hope that reading this blog provides something of value for you, whether it makes you cackle out loud for a moment, brings back a fond memory, or even motivates you to go and read something better.
