Back Again... Maybe.


So, yes, it's been a while. This happens, I find. It all seems like a good idea, and then I get disillusioned and think "Ah, what's the point? Who reads this doggerel anyway...? It's just a waste of my time - get a life!" Then months later I think "Hang on, you are still doing the same things: watching a lot of films, listening to music, reading books, basically wasting time - and the point of this blog was to document that and get a bit of writing practice in at the same time - so why not fire it up again...?"

The problem has always been that it's difficult to keep it up, and once you (I mean I when I say you) fall behind it becomes impossible to catch up. So it was in May, I remember, having a list of about twenty things I wanted to talk about - films mostly - and just getting bogged down to the point of giving up. So this time I'm not going to worry about that... if something goes astray I will just let it go! And yeah, there have been some amazing cultural high points twixt May and December (almost) but so be it: that time has gone and a new year, full of intrigue and promise is just around the corner!

I make no promises how often I will get to jot things down, then, but I hope to keep some kind of even pace. Thanks for dropping by.
