Well, I didn't manage to get my review completed, and now I never will -
because this is the last day. I have some friends going to an
end-of-the-world party tonight; if the more apocalyptic ancient Mayans
were wrong and there is another day (the first of the next Long Count)
they'll be cheering and pulling party poppers just after midnight.
Because, y'know, those Mayans calculated everything using Greenwich Mean
Time.
Me, I won't be there because we're hosting a Winter Solstice party,
which is an altogether more hopeful (and repeatable) event. The longest
night - halfway through the dark. Not, as some might have it, halfway out of
the dark, because that would presumably be midway between the Solstice
and the Spring Equinox, but why quibble? (Ans.: Because it's fun. Until
someone takes it too far.)
The thing is, there's a lot of this sort of stuff going on at the
moment. My aunt's 99th Birthday party was three days ago (although my
back meant I couldn't go), and there's some newfangled celebration
happening in four days time that people seem to have got quite excited
about. And all this means I'm going to be spending a lot of time away from
the computer.
So instead of dazzling you with my reviewing prowess (or not, as the
case may be), I'll wish you a happy celebration of your choice. Take it
easy, be excellent to one another, and I'll see you on the other side.
Fingers crossed.
Next Time:
My review of The Lion... eventually. Don't hold your breath!
