Happy New Year all. My celebration night last night included going to see The King's Speech at our local theater with my son. Mrs oldgoat passed on the outing at the last minute, opting for a nap. Came home, had some wine, watched the clock turn over, watched the first half hour of Good Will Hunting, and went to bed.
Oh the wildness!
Enjoyed The King's Speech. My son was probably among the youngest five people in the theater.
Good Will, hear-hear!
"Oh the wildness!"
Compared to me, you're Neal Cassady.
We watched DVDs of Erik the Viking (hey, they cut out some really cool scenes!) and Monty Python's Holy Grail, hung around until midnight, then everyone but me went bed. I stayed up and watched a biography on Genghis Khan and Barney Miller reruns.
New Years in Cape Breton. Not a snoozer.
Memeber of the family kept saying he was going to have a stroke. So we got a nice box for his ashes. Put his picture on it.
Funeral and wake. No corners were cut. Lots of libations. His wife gave the best euology. Had us all in tears.
After dinner theatre.
He's got all year to plot his revenge.
The new year's eve of this big city single gal:
Early dinner at Java House on Queen Street with an old friend. Yakked for 3 hours. Came home around 10pm, enjoyed looking at the outfits on the glittery people who were off to parties. Watched The Lake House on my laptop and was weeping well before midnight (I love that movie) and asleep by 12:30.
Happy new year everyone!
I started watching Constant Gardener. Drank a large beer after delicious salad and got surprisingly punchy from it, such that I had to wait before going out. Visited a friend and her family who are moving out of province. Left before midnight. Visited orphaned duck on the river. In bed by 1:30 am.
P.S.: In a Sandra Bullock coincidence (see Maysie's post), I rented The 'Net last week. Wondered if it was possibly the worst film she ever made but was amused at the early tech fascination and early internet references posing as high intrigue. (eg: devastating viruses carried around on a diskette). I had thought it was going to be more about viruses and hacking and sandra bullock saving the day with her programming wizardry. Not so much.
I forget if starting the year with a Sandra Bullock coincidence is a good or a bad thing. Something tells me..... bad. Damn you, jas!
lmfao
Nonsense. Sandra Bullock is a veritable avatar of American sweetness and likeability. How can that be bad? :)
I woke up today. What happened in 2011 is a blur. Far better than 2010.
Happy New Year, everyone! I wish everyone the best for 2011! My partner and I had quite the 2010, and despite some huge highs (like travelling to France), we're happy to put it behind us. It ended with my partner's grandmother passing away three days ago. Cheers to a better 2011!
Billy Bragg had some encouraging words over in the Guardian. I like the following in particular:
