Happy New Year!

New Year's Eve and it's hard to believe
Another Zodiac's gone around
While you drank yourself high on hoping
And watched the ceiling spin from the ground...

By the power of a radio-powered clock, I'm posting this bang on the real New Year (that's GMT, folks), so I'd like to be the first to wish you all the best for 2003! The year just gone has been - in most respects - a pretty darn good one for me (even if lots of the good stuff happened before I started this LJ), and there's certainly some interesting things coming up for the year to come. I've put down a few resolutions below - behind an lj-cut for those who think they would be TMI.

New Year's Resolutions

Counting down from ten it's time
To make your annual prayer
Secret Santa in the sky
When will I get my share?

Then you tell yourself
What you want to hear
'Cause you have to believe
This will be my year.

Lyrics from This Will Be My Year from Semisonic's album Feeling Strangely Fine.

Picked up a full copy of Age of Mythology yesterday (collectors edition, with a stack of nifty extras) and also a copy of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets for the PS2 (can't resist those sale prices). The former is even more fun than the demo and remains dangerously addictive, the latter is a reasonable fun, but somewhat spoiled by the too frequent and too long load times.

Afternoon movie was Sabrina (the new version) - a thoroughly enjoyable bit of fluff, even if plausibility is stretched at a few points. Re the line "Paris is always a good idea", I'd be sorely tempted if my French was a bit better.

Seen in a sig on Slashdot, this link unexpectedly took me through to one of the silliest - and funniest - fanfics I've read these many years.
I mocked Voldemort
Ask me how!
