Happy New Year!

Happy New Year and welcome back! I had a great break, and am very excited about 2006. If anyone wonders what I was doing on New Year's Eve, I was partying. And jamming. Here's a picture of the New Year's jam:

Hmmm... what other news? Not a whole lot... although I did see a lot of movies. In no particular order, here are 7 words or less on each:

SHAUN OF THE DEAD: Bloody hilarious.

THE SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELLING PANTS: Not my kinda movie, but not bad!

XXX-STATE OF THE UNION: My kinda movie, but not good!

KING KONG: State of the art storytelling.

LAWRENCE OF ARABIA: A new, all-time favorite. Brilliant and gorgeous.

SECONDHAND LIONS: blah...

FUN WITH DICK AND JANE: EXTREMELY blah...

MICROCOSMOS: Them bugs do the darnedest things!

ROGER AND ME: Watch out for the bunny-lady... need I say Moore?

(OK... so maybe around 7 words... sue me!)
