Sometimes the pressures of the holiday season and attendant stream of partying, drinking and socialising with other people mean that I feel like taking time out from humans and spend time communing with produce.<BR/><BR/>In 2004 I had an excellent getaway to Fiji with a bagful of grapes and a stick of celery, although after the 2003 Gold Coast trip I shall never holiday with fennel again. The conversation was interminable and seemed to centre solely around obscure French philosophy and the plays of Brecht.<BR/><BR/>:p<BR/><BR/>DenMTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-1168832844696258492007-01-15T16:47:00.000+13:002007-01-15T16:47:00.000+13:00Den .. what on earth were you doing down south wit...Den .. what on earth were you doing down south with veges?<BR/><BR/>:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-1168832659302969872007-01-15T16:44:00.000+13:002007-01-15T16:44:00.000+13:00Happy New Year, PC & familiar posters!

The random goal thing is a bit of fun with my friends and family every year at New Years to pick one fun thing to focus on for the year ahead.<BR/><BR/>Take your boring, prescriptive, staid approach to life and jam it. Your life might require 'that make decisions not do things randomly [sic]' but mine doesn't - luckily I am not bound by the strictures of a half-understood philosophy in the same way you appear to be.<BR/><BR/>I've done my darndest to be civil to you on your own blog (the blogosphere has likely never had a more haphazard mess of logical fallacies, grammatical travesties and primary-school-level spelling errors has likely never been excreted into it previously) but fuck it. You don't deserve it. <BR/><BR/>DenMTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-1168816591283698602007-01-15T12:16:00.000+13:002007-01-15T12:16:00.000+13:00I didn't piss about with resolutions, but instead ...<I>I didn't piss about with resolutions, but instead did the same New Years random goal-selection that I do every year.</I><BR/><BR/>Life requires that make decisions not do things randomly.

I too am far too easy to be seduced into an argument when one is not merited, solely to prove foolishness or poor logic. I spent some time last week vehemently debating facts on a small newish blog, with no facts or logic coming back from the other direction, simply blind cheerleading. It is that kind of argument which is just a time-sink...<BR/><BR/>Happy New Years, anyway. I didn't piss about with resolutions, but instead did the same New Years random goal-selection that I do every year. In the weeks leading up to NY I cook up several schemes for five or so activities I'd like to get into, and on NYE there is always a random selection of the 'winner' wherever I happen to be (this year down the Marlborough Sounds with a bunch of Swedes).<BR/><BR/>And 'make an excellent quality piece of furniture' won out. I was secretly rooting for 'learn how to brew fine quality beer at home'. But oh well...<BR/><BR/>DenMTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
