QUOTE OF THE DAY : "Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so." - Douglas Adams

SONG OF THE DAY : The Hives - No Pun Intended

LINK OF THE DAY : New THX1138 Trailer. Brilliant.

I have tremor cordis on me: my heart dances;
But not for joy; not joy. This entertainment
May a free face put on, derive a liberty
From heartiness, from bounty, fertile bosom,
And well become the agent; 't may, I grant;
But to be paddling palms and pinching fingers,
As now they are.

It actually happened... I've now been blogging for one year straight. So much has changed in that time. I'm a completely different person, and I've experienced so much since July 29th 2003.

It's very cool to look back. Even though it's only been a year, I can see a visible change in my thinking and writing. Very humbling actually.

Some highlights of the past year for me, blogwise have been.

My relationship and subsequent break up with she who shall remain nameless. Something that has been stricken from the record of this blog... though I did keep a copy.

Covering the 2003 Toronto Film Fest, both the experience and the reviews.

Blogging during my Euro Trip, and being able to share it with everyone back home and abroad.

Posting inane and strange tangents that my mind goes off on.

Sharing all the crazy videos, news stories and trailers that I your humble narrator have stumbled upon in my web travels.

Arguing about the stupidest things with people that I've never personally met.

And most recently reviewing movies on a regular basis for Empiremovies.com. Expect to see Thunderbirds and Collateral reviews in the subsequent days.

It can only get better from here. Expect in depth 2004 Toronto Film Fest coverage. As well more personally qualms and problems will be discussed, I guarantee. Hopefully I'll be able to blog my next big trip as well... in the interim Las Vegas will have to suffice.

To anyone and everyone who has ever read the page, thanks for reading. Although blogs are meant to be a personal thing for the most part, it's always nice to get feedback, positive and negative. *Glares at Robotman*

So until next time, keep watching the skiis... I mean skies.
