end-of-year meme: cross-section of my blog in 2008

A meme from Sean. If you like the idea, consider yourself tagged and let me know in the comments so I can check it out.

The rules for the meme: Take the first line from the first post of every month for the last year, and post them together as a kind of cross-section of what you were blogging about during the year. Remember to link to all the posts you are excerpting.

January: ~~~happy new year~~~

New Year's is my favourite holiday.

I was planning to post a series of pictures about food consumption across the globe that I received by email this morning.

November: I thought today's post would be about obama

I wanted to celebrate his election to President of the US.

December: big day out 2009

I decided to give Big Day Out a miss this summer - lots of other uses for my money right now.

Somehow I managed to miss any posts on Neil Gaiman or So You Think You Can Dance? How I do not know. :)
