Had a few days socialising in Halifax, including seeing the new Star Wars film at the Vue multiplex cinema in town. It was… OK. It seems odd to be ambivalent about a film that cost $200 million to make, but in three weeks I will have forgotten all about it. I didn’t really care about the characters and the po-faced space politics: the good guys versus the totalitarian forces of darkness. There were a few lighter moments, thankfully…
New Year’s Eve: another midwinter ‘celebration’ I’m happy to sit out… It’s a countdown to nothing. I can’t see the point of celebrating an ‘event’ which has all the significance of watching your car’s mileometer tick over from 99,999 to 100,000. Hey, every day is new. And I’m unimpressed by the awarding of honours to successful people who, by definition, have been handsomely rewarded already…
No particular resolutions… though I hope to enlarge my portfolio of online photographs from 15,000 to 20,000 (won’t happen), and I want to get stuck into my book (will happen)…
