Happy New Year!
Good luck with Pegasus wrangling, yay Pegasus II!
Also, I liked the first Tomb Raider movie. I don't necessarily think it's a GOOD movie, but I am very fond of it. Plenty of eye candy.

Happy New Year! and may 2010 be a lot saner than 2009, for all of us, but especially you!

Happy New Year to you all - it is the 1st here already - and I spent it rather luxuriously doing very little (to continue the theme of my holiday)
I did try to make the chocolate pav (which sadly was a disaster), I made quite good potato salad, watched the extended dance remix of the first LOTR DVD and......
...drank fancy french champagne that was given to me as a thankyou/Xmas pressy - Veuve Cliquot (and very nice it was too!)
Bring on the bubbly I say!
(and +1 for the Tomb Raider movie - excellent eye candy and an ex hologram as a butler with attitude - whats not to like?)

About following fashion, or not following fashion, rather - I say about myself that "I'm only fashionable by mistake."
This was especially brought home to me once, when a girl complimented me on the sweater I was wearing.* (It was a pale creamy-brown crocheted sweater, which ended at the waist.) I thanked her and told her it was several years old - "It's all the fashion now," she said. "It is?" I asked, and stared down myself in consternation, as if I'd never seen the sweater before.
*I'm bad at receiving compliments like that, I always have to find some flaw with the thing praised - and if I can't find any, and must content myself with a simple "Thank you" I feel like I must be positively oozing self-satisfied smugness...
Happy new year everyone!
Why, I feel all thin, sort of stretched, if you know what I mean, like butter that has been scraped over too much bread.

Happy New Year to all--but am I the only one who thinks 2010 sounds like a date from a science fiction novel?

Arthur C. Clarke wrote 2010 as a sequel to 2001 (there's also a movie based on the book). I suppose this would be a good year to pull that out again to read (smile).
(There are third and fourth novels as well, "2061" and "3001", by the way.)
Welcome to the future! Isn't it amazing?

Do something serious about spending less time on this blog.
Would it be heretical of me to suggest you only blog once a week instead of every day? Wouldn't a weekly blog be as conducive to becoming a habit as a daily one? And, I know I can only speak for myself, but foregoing my daily dose of footnotes would be more than compensated for by knowing you were gamely thrashing your way through Pegasus II.

I am almost certain that bacon does.

Oh yes. And chocolate, of course.
I think you're right on the money when you substituted "healthy" for "skinny." I'm learning that we train our bodies and our tastebuds by how healthily we live/eat. Some people don't even know what healthy feels like because they've never experienced it. As I get older and get more experience with this body of mine I find it easier to balance out the lure of chocolate and bacon with the knowledge of how I'll feel the next day. (Easier; not easy!)

You're so right. When I realized that I needed to reduce my sodium intake, I thought I'd really feel deprived without my favorite salty foods. They actually taste TOO salty now, and having to get creative in my seasoning and snacking has led me to discover new treats.

I completely agree about Tomb Raider. I love to watch it because I want to be Lara Croft as played by Angelina. It might not be the best movie, but it is always fun to watch girls kicking ass. The plot of the second movie is even worse, but I prefer Gerard Butler as the love interest to Daniel Craig with an American accent.
Not only does eating healthy make me feel better, it helps with my mental health. It is only through taking care of myself that I can feel well and fully enjoy life.

Watched both Tomb Raider movies... I actually enjoyed the 2nd more (but I was also half asleep during the first). But they're both fairly fun to watch. And what the heck is Rimmer from Red Dwarf (aka Chris Barrie) doing being the apparently (generally) competent and intelligent butler?

I own it and I do rewatch it. I like it better than the second one.
