I just realized that I hadn’t posted here since before the FameCast announcement. Wow. I’m slow.

Well to be honest, I just decided that winning that kind of a competition, with all the hours I’d put in and all the energy expended, merited a bit of a holiday. And with Christmas and New Year’s shortly to follow, I felt like it was the perfect time to stop working. Completely. For almost a month… Yeah, okay, I probably should have at least kept up with a few things, but when I finally let myself relax, it’s all or nothing!

So now it is 2008, and I am recovering from last night’s shenanigans in downtown Chicago, curled up on the couch with my puppy gnawing on a Nylabone next to me and Predator 2 on the big screen. Yes, I said Predator 2 – I saw the new Alien vs Predator: Requiem last week and realized that I’d never seen, well, any Alien or Predator movie. And I love Bill Paxton, for some odd reason. So here I sit.

I actually saw some really great movies over the holiday, and I’m recommending them to you now unequivocally – go, watch, enjoy, laugh those holiday party pounds right off. You will not regret it.

Anyway, I’ve been on vacation long enough, I think. Time to kick things back into gear! Happy New Year, everyone. And watch out for big ugly creatures with more than one mouth.
