As resolved, I have just finished writing a piece on Kelly Link's 'The Faery Handbag'. Not my best one in the series, but good to get back into the swing of it.

I resolved yesterday to make my new year's resolutions today (other than reading resolutions). I've spent a bit of time this morning with the goal-setting Facebook app, which has been some help, though I'm keeping most of those goals, personal and professional, to myself.

A few areas I do feel comfortable noting here, though: a) cranking up my Russian course, bought in 2002 but allowed to slip rather - it should be ideal listening for one leg of the commute; and b) reviving a couple of my writing projects, in particular i) reviews of joint Hugo and Nebula winners, currently stuck at Hell is the Absence of God; and ii) my notes on books of the Bible. Both of those will be tracked here.
