Happy New Year! The holidays are winding down and so, as in past years, I'm feeling a mix of sadness, relief and satisfaction with putting the Christmas cheer aside and getting back to work. I love the holidays. I actually choose to listen to carols (Phil Spector anyone?). We fill the apartment with twinkling lights, various small decorated trees, and those gel things that stick to your windows. I discovered the gel things this year and went a bit nuts. Every year I make my family watch at least one of the holiday classics - A Charley Brown Christmas, White Christmas, and Pee-Wee's Playhouse Christmas Special ("That was really beautiful Charo!").
Anyway, that's all so 2006 and four days ago. Now I'm looking towards the future; towards Monday and the beginning of 2007. What will this year bring? More attempts at a career in documentary film making? Days spent answering the phone at Marty's optometrist office? Six more issues of that groovy BUST magazine? Yes, all these things and more. I'd like to make a difference this year. I'd like to make my site bigger and better and update my blog with at least twice weekly goodness. I'd like to go back to the indie film scene here in Toronto and reconnect with some folks. I'd like to finish the damn Rentz doc and see if I can actually make a
second film.
What are you doing with the new year? Unless I totally bail on my resolutions (before it's actually the new year - a feat in itself) you will see me with more blog entries every couple of days. I'll even set up a comments section so you can leave me little messages and spam. I'll write reviews of documentary films and you can totally disagree with me and tell me why I suck. Honestly. I can take it. I just want to start 2007 off right with a positive and creative drive to expand my site and what I do with my space on the internet. Here's to a good new year for you and me and everyone else. Peace!
