new year, same habits!

my efforts to improve my time management continue to decline, dear folks hence the severe delay in posting this blog. However I do have a heap of stuff to let loose, firstly Happy belated new year!! 2009 has swooped by, I've literally worked through it! I am enjoying myself though so no complaints.
New years eve was surprisingly entertaining. I reluctantly went to the Somali concert with a few colleagues, expecting some sort of dispute to kick off but guess what; Somalis in DC are actually well-behaved! Can you believe the whole concert was fight-free?! The atmosphere was pleasant, people were dancing, drinking, eating and generally having a good time. Maryooley folks here aren't half bad.
I went straight to work after the concert and knocked out around 4pm, didn't wake til 4am the next morning! Good times indeed!
Since the beginning of 2009 I have become acquanted with DC's public transport (tubes and buses!) and have grown fond of their East-coast friendliness. They're ever so polite! Back home in london one wouldn't dare to say hello to someone on the tube or bus, unless you wish to be labelled as a nutter! Lack of greeting here is genuinely frowned upon.
I'm still getting to grips with where everything is but now that I know the tube I'm sure I'll stumble across some shopping centres!
