  • Kevin Rudd said sorry.
  • I got a keynote gig at an international conference.
  • They accidentally introduced me as Professor Emerson.
  • They thought I was funny.
  • Someone called me a world expert in online religion.
  • I fell in love with both Santiago and Edinburgh.
  • I met the girl who has been making my brother so happy (and could see why!).
  • My daughter told me she wants to be a stand-up comedian when she grows up (I had never been so proud. I actually had tears).
  • A whole lot of rich people lost money.

Disappointments of 2008:

  • Brendan Nelson said “sorry, but.”
  • They thought I was so funny at the keynote gig that nobody actually wanted to talk more about the research.
  • A whole lot of poor people lost money.
  • Santiago and Edinburgh are both very jealous cities (thank God Thatcher and Pinochet aren’t around anymore).

Have a fantastic 2009, everyone. In 2009 I will get a PhD and lose enough weight so I can fit into a leotard so I can front a David Bowie tribute band. Who’s with me?
