New Year's Eve, not my favourite night of the year. It's always such an anti-climax, or worse. This time last year I was preparing to go off to Argentina (most likely), this year I'm not going anywhere but who knows what the future holds? Live each day as it comes to you I say.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never thought upon,
The flames of love extinguished,
And freely past and gone?
Is thy kind heart now grown so cold
In that loving breast of thine,
That thou canst never once reflect
On old-lang-syne?
-- Sir Robert Ayton (1570-1638)

More!? OK then, but I can't help feeling that this will be a disappointment to you.
I work as a web designer in Belfast, and I live by the sea in a shoe. You can see me here, doing my livejournal pose as idoru called it. If you need to you can email me at carisenda -at- gmail -dot- com.

Does exactly what it says on the (comic book) tin. Loved it. - Little Miss Sunshine
†
Very funny, disturbing (the beauty pageant) and completely messed up -- but in a good way. - Laputa: Castle in the Sky†
Story great, characterization a little on the weak side -- though the big robots are cool. - Porco Rosso
†
Stylish, funny, exciting. - Grave of the Fireflies†
Very sad, which was a little unexpected since I didn't know much about it before watching it. Can be a little too slow in places though, otherwise it's very good. - Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind†
The story can get a little dense at times what with the various factions, but still really enjoyable, inventive and engaging. - X-Men: The Last Stand

Opportunity, talent, money - all blown. Over 3 films X-Men has hinted of something great that could have been, this last one says "No, sorry - not going to happen". Bah.
happy new year! Last year we were in Belfast, and this year we’re likely staying home. We had hockey tickets for tonight but we’re in the middle of a snowstorm….
Happy New Year and happy Birthday Trish! We appear to be in the middle of a storm too, but no snow - just lot’s and lot’s of rain, wind and coldness.
I’ve never liked New Year’s Eve either, save for the fact that it’s an excuse to get drunk in the middle of the week.
Happy New Year, Stephen.
