having had a relatively quiet nye, i was up early today. i blogcruised for a while then trotted off to the ritz for new years day film double. if you have even the briefest spark of imagination you must see 'finding neverland' and not just because johnny depp & kate winslet are just so perfect. i had to race from cinema 1 up the stairs to cinema 3 to catch 'the incredibles' which is quite incredible and a whole lot of fun.
i'm doing my 2004 review in chunks. i keep getting sidetracked while reading the archives and going off on tangents. here is the first instalment:
january
the year started well but got a bit blahlike rather early on. was cheered up to get a ladybird for my bloggy and to reconnect with miss marina. had my 1000th visitor & my first blog interview. the month ended with the great cockroach massacre - i warned the little buggers to get out before their fate was sealed!!

february
the bugbegone spray ended up making me sick. first, i got a bit wheezy, then lost my voice. it got worse and worse and then it got better. at one stage i hit the ground but ended the month on a high note.
movies watched
underworld
big fish (2nd time)
lord of the rings : return of the king
mystic river
march
the 1500th visitor came through the doors early in the month. had a bit of a dummy spit at work and received a gift. this site told me the alleged date of my death - i’ll forget this post by then… things got a bit freaky and fishy at one stage. i was excited get a blast from the past - funny thing is, mr 1977 chose today to reconnect again and i was only talking about him the other night... march closed with a 16 dog day & the end of an era.
