Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, other winter holidays and a fun New Year.  I had my joint Christmas/New Year’s Eve celebration this evening where we got to open presents (I got a very very proper teapot and a Yotsuba posable figure, which made me hurt my throat with the squeaking) and watch the CN Tower lights flash at midnight.   Our tradition of dinner and cheesey movies to usher in the new year was continued with Planet Terror (truly horrifying in places, but a lot of fun to watch when I didn’t have my hands flung up to block the screen) and Balls of Fury (filled the cheese requirement nicely, but I think I was so emotionally spent by the first movie I had little reaction left in me).

Tomorrow: Sweeney Todd.  I should have already seen it by now, but I spent the holidays in Sault Ste Marie where apparently they think people don’t want to see Johnny Depp in a musical.  Who wouldn’t??  I did get to see Alien Vs Predator 2 on Christmas night, though.  Sheesh.  Those are some twisted cinematic priorities!
