A new year a new… (who?)

Well I hesitate to say “a new me” because by this point, I realize that “new” rarely means much with regards to personalities, persuasions, proclivities… The New Year (in this case, 2009) – if I am lucky – will see me follow through on at least one of the several new ideas, plans, projects that I have started in the past couple of months.

This blog is one, of course. Amusingly enough, though, the last time I logged in was May of this year when I claimed the inspiring blog name “Incantare”, fusing my luke-warm fascination with the occult and my intense desire to parlare Italiano. BUT that is an interesting thing: learning Italian is one of the new projects that I am (finally) undertaking. Very excited about this one! For the full list, see below:

Starting a new “professional” blog – or what I hope will become one. Stay tuned for links!
Blogging in general – you know for introspection / personal interest (yeah only a decade behind the curve on this trend! )
Learning Italian (for real this time – no more learning how to count to venti with Alessio my former hair dresser)
COOKING: becoming really good at it. It has grown from a slight interest in my mid-to-late 20s only to emerge as one of my favorite things to research, think about, investigate and actually practice. New cookbooks to arrive any day now (Merry Christmas to me!).
Figuring out to do with the rest of my life. (Not a true or new undertaking, but I gotta add it here or else it will never get addressed).

So that is where my life stands almost on the eve of 2009. I am glad to have started this one post. It feels like the beginning of a beginning and, hey, at least that’s a start…
