Film – Holiday and the 2006 wrap-up
So much for rom-coms this year… Action flicks did not fare much better. I have a soft spot for both and this year’s offer has left me wanting.
In any case, there were some good films out there so here we go:
Favourite film:
* Conversations with other women
Choice comedies:
* Scoop
* The Libertine
* Tristram Shandy
Choice seriousies:
* The Proposition
* The Conformist
* Cache
Scrabble
Having spent a lot of time at home over last few months and expecting to stay at home even more in the future, Chris and I decided to invest in board games. We bought Scrabble and a social game called Wavelenght we’ll have to have people over to play. I’ve played my first ever game of Scrabble today and did not do too badly (Chris won anyway).
We were originally going to get Settlers of Catan – a great game we played at Dan’s yesterday. We then realised that it requires more than two players and people we would invite to play with already have a copy they can bring over. We could have gotten the same game with a different theme, but the only thing offered was a Star Wars version. If they had Star Trek or Jane Austen themed one, we would have gotten it. In fact, on next occasion I have time on my hands (ha ha ha) I’ll make a Jane Austen version. Wouldn’t that be fun? I wonder if there are a lot of classic literature themed board games out there.
Happy Yule-tide one and all!
Film – “The U.S. vs. John Lennon” and “For Your Consideration”
There was a news article this week about the Big O stadium in Montreal finally being paid off after 30 years. Isn’t that something?

I wanted to write a post for a couple of days now but can’t think of anything new to say. Work is wearing me out. It is really busy at the factory with additional meetings at the office. When I finally come home I just want to rest and do nothing.
As a result I have not been to cinema in a while. Last film I went to see was Kika which is an older Almodóvar film. I like his latest stuff, but Kika was too fruity for me. We’ve also been to the theatre to see Rough House which was fun.
We’ve gotten the tree up and decorated, but I still have to tidy up the living room so we can take pictures. The living room shelves have been put in place. I’ve gotten most of the fiction books sorted alphabetically, non-fiction will be more difficult. The library should be up and running by the end of xmass holidays.
