Christmas recap...

Jess has already covered this, but I'd be a heel not to mention how much fun it was to have Laura here to help Make War on Christmas. Good conversation on a day when we are usually cut off from the rest of the world thanks to London grinding to a halt was a pleasant change. Jess being awesome knew exactly which films I needed which is a tricky task seeing as I watch so many of the blasted things. The restored Big Red One and A Fistful of Dynamite (along with the extended cut of Donnie Darko and a decent copy of Shaolin Soccer) are waiting for me tomorrow... how many girls buy Lee Marvin movies? We watched Proof which I'd already seen but like a lot, Bad Santa which always kills me, Shopgirl which I thought was a damn good port of a great book and assorted other bits and bobs. Doctor Who aside we didn't watch any regular TV so survived the holiday over-stuffed but with all our brain matter intact. The meal was fantastic - all I did was chop a few spuds so I can't take any credit. The slow nod to 2006 begins here... I was hoping to be asleep by now, but insomnia fucking loves me. Slowly moving off the coffee and onto green tea. We'll see if that helps. Hardly took any photos at all this year, but I've thrown a few up on Flickr including this one of Kelly, Corran and Arran who were nice enough to put up with us today and allowed me to drink all their wine and smiled at my usual rapier wit and jokes about fisting: Maybe I should watch a film right now...
