Happy New Year

Not much left of the old year now, time to look forwards to the next one.

I spent a fair bit of 2008 looking backwards and reacting to events, I went backwards a few steps (shoulder) but I’ve hopefully gone forwards a few too. I appear to have mostly broken the games addiction, although maybe that’s been replaced by an addiction that has me listening to music off iTunes ? 🙂

Not much cricket again for me, will have to see if I can do better next season. I think I’ll have to settle for batting only, as my shoulder won’t support me bowling any more. Badminton is definitely a bad idea – that’s how I aggravated the shoulder injury this summer. Or is that my conservative side thinking ?

The Crazie Boys (inc me) watched the film Twilight today. Best way to describe this one is a Chick Flick Teen Vampire movie. We enjoyed it and were pleasantly surprised. Different film to the no-brain action movies we usually go for, a good change. I’d recommend it 🙂 Not sure if I’ll be going for the dvd though. One impression I definitely got was that one of the characters was definitely a fan of Tom Cruise’s Lestat.

I’ll be up at the Mall again tomorrow and I get the feeling I’ll be spending a bit of cash up there 🙂 One of the casualties of the Xmas period has been the wifi capability on this laptop, which is likely to be the Final Straw that means this lappy needs replacing. It has various other faults and I’ve been very surprised on my couple of Kick-The-Power-Lead moments this week it hasn’t turned off … Almost no battery left in it. I’ll also be looking to acquire some more cd’s to feed iTunes with 🙂

Last thing to do is to wish everyone a Happy New Year and I’ve attached a Youtube link to one of the songs I look forward to appearing on the iTunes Party Shuffle.

PS I think I’m eerily starting to look forward to work. One of the things I do on an extended leave period is not shave … And my scabrous imitation of a beard started itching on Thursday last week. It’ll be removed before I get back 🙂
