merry Christmas to ME!

sorry I've been a bit ghostlike, Loyal Reader(s). Our interweb connection has been craptastic.

So I'll be in my favorite city from 14 December through 21 December, get your orders in for PG Tips and Thai Chilli Crisps. Have a meeting wiv University of Manchester on the fifteenth, with KCL on the nineteenth, wiv SOAS sometime else, and in between then I'll be boozing it up and eating paella with Tanya and Dan, drooling after luscious Max, catching up with Nora and Susie and Theo and Alan, playing coochie-coochie-coo with Finley and hugging his mom, and hopefully catching some kind of match somewhere -- can't really splash out for the North London derby (Arsenal v Chelski, 18th December) but maybe some sort of Palace fixture -- I love me some Croydon!

At any rate, I'm very excited, and soon to be very broke. Rest assured I shall try to purchase as many Harrod's beer mats as gifts as I can. Huzzah! Huzzah!
