Well, I probably missed you... But either way, I hope you have a good time.
hunkpapa:
not sure if you've gone yet... but have a good journey, and a great time.
Update:Tonight I parked my van outside the house a little further along the road than usual.I got out slammed the door and turned to walk away. The van started to roll away.The handbrake had somehow slipped off. As I was running, downhill alongside the van trying to get a key in the door, I did have the thought that this is not good, and kindof...

whoa... not good. That's an ongoing source of paranoia, for me; I occasionally have nightmares about it, chasing the car down the road (usually with no trousers on) waving a key around. It sounds as if you got away lightly 
I hope all your accidents are like that

Aimee Teegarden, AKA Julie Taylor from the show Friday Night Lights. I don't know if she's been in anything else.
And as far as the LSAT goes I pretty much did how I expected which is good. It puts me in a pretty good position for my applications. We'll see though. You never know. But thanks for asking. I hope your year has started out well too.
And Holy Shit, that's a story. I'm glad nobody got hurt, and there wasn't any damage. I probably would have had a heart attack. I'm glad to hear you're OK though.

Another year beckons and as it begins I find myself thinking:
I have a lot to be grateful for.
Somewhere beautiful to live both in England and in Senegal.
A partner who loves me after a quarter of a century of putting up with my shit.
3 Children who I can still talk to and hang out with after 22 years of parenting.
A job...

well, i did like Watchmen...I just wasn't crazy about it. I thought it was going to be this great masterpiece, and it didn't turn out that way for me. i've read other Moore stuff, though - the league of very ordinary gentlemen didn't really grab me.. top ten was great, and i thought Halo Jones was really great. i'll probably give Watchmen another go one day.
can't imagine trying to learn Tai Chi from a book or a video
i did karate for a while, back in the mists of time, and i know how important a good teacher is for that sort of thing. part of me misses doing that sometimes, but i think i'm more suited to something a bit more gentle these days

Even cooler. It's a nice place to look at.
Haven't been in years, well before my move to the North East.
Think my friends bands still gig around there quite regularly.

Was a coach journey from Newcastle.
It was last minute so coach was my only option.
I decided not to go for the riot in the end, went to watch Champions League at Stamford Bridge instead.

yeah, it's something (a slightly wonky aortic valve) that they want to monitor. it's not serious in my case, but it's the kind of thing they like to keep an eye on.
have you taken your xmas night photos yet?

Do you actually live there? Are you a fucking hobbit?
Yeah, I saw that story with the teddy bear. Totally reasonably, no?
Strike is going ok publicity wise. The studios have apparently been shocked at our call to strike and our resolve. If they don't make a deal within a couple of months, they will lose two pilot seasons, which would mean billions of dollars. And advertisers have started to ask for their money back, so they have a lot of pressure being put on them. Ha.
They agreed to come back to the negotiating table yesterday and it apparently all went well. So, that is good news.
I have a cold, so haven't been walking the picket line.
Man City is still an abomination.
