A (very delayed) Happy New Year

A (very delayed) Happy New Year to all and sundry. And everybody else too. I'd like to think there's a reason for the delay, but really, there isn't, apart from being busy with being busy.

Anyway, to kick the year off, a golden oldie!

Shalalalala

Apologies for the slightly weird middle part of the MV. I am, however, unapologetic and unrepentant for the fact that the song is now definitely stuck in your head. Forever. 

Brings back such memories. And with that blast from the past, we now look forward to the future. 

More than anything (or anything I can think of at present), this promises to be a fantastic year for films. The Hobbit, The Avengers, The Dark Knight Rises, The Something Else That I Can't Remember Right Now But Probably Begins With 'The'. 

Ah. The Hobbit. Not since The Return of the King have I been this excited about a film coming out. The trailer sends shivers down my spine. In a good way, too. 

I'm glad Peter Jackson's doing this film. Love that guy.

Funny story time! A couple of days (or weeks - I forget which) before the trailer came out, I was watching Love Actually. If you have watched that film in any great detail, you may have realised that the guy who plays Bilbo (in The Hobbit, not Love Actually) is the sex scene extra actor from Love Actually. Funny thing was, when I was watching Love Actually, I said to my sister, 'Hey, is that guy in Lord of the Rings? He looks like a hobbit. Was he one of the extras?' Ok, that was more curious than funny. Point is, my calling in life is clearly to be an actor/actress picker dude for films. It matters not whether the job exists or not. If it doesn't, I'll make it exist. If it does, well, all the better.

Cannot. Wait. 

Anyway, Happy New Year. I hope it's a good one for all of you, and I'll try to share more jolly times with all of you and all that.
