A meaningless update

Just to keep the blog ticking over.

With the Comedy Fest around the corner things are starting to get a bit busy - lots of posters and flyers to design, shows to direct, people to contact, health to maintain and money to save.

Apart from loved ones, Comedy is about the greatest joy in my life at the moment. In particular:

The strangulated squawk that Peter Sellers makes

Noel Fielding as The Spirit of Jazz

The current shoe ad where the guy makes the musical fart noises with his hands (oh how I love the middle break)

The soundtrack to ADBC


Simple pleasures people....simple pleasures

Happy New Year Everyone

I hope it was a cracker.

This Eve I would have none of the "city-sea-of-human-refuse" that I encountered last year, instead I spent it in the company of a delightful young lady, a bottle of French bubbly and season 1 of The Mighty Boosh. Now if that isn't the way to kickstart a year I don't know what is.

As far as any New Year realisations/reflective insights - I've started to be a bit cautious with my approach now. It's far too easy to get swept up in the idealism of a new year - much harder to maintain and spread the diligence over the coming months which is why I have chosen SIMPLE, uncluttered resolutions for '08:

This Year I will.

  • HAVE THE BODY OF A 22 YEAR OLD SURF LIFESAVER
  • BUY ONLY THE FINEST, FRESHEST PRODUCE AND COOK ALL MY MEALS
  • TRANSFORM MY GARDEN INTO PARADISE
  • LOVE EVERYONE EQUALLY AND NEVER SPEAK BADLY OF ANYONE, EVER
  • TRAVEL THE WORLD FIRST CLASS
  • LEARN THE TRUMPET
  • GROW A POWERFUL MOUSTACHE THAT INVOKES GASPS OF WONDER AND AWE.

I'll stop there because I want to leave some room for '09

(actually - if you read between the lines and tone down the hyperbole - they're pretty much what I was thinking...)


I hope this year offers up new adventures, laughs and surprises for me and you.

Cheers
