Two new things squeezed in before the New Year...

1. Snowboarding. I actually - after a series of rather uncomfortable (translation = painful) jolts to the system - mustered up enough balance to board an entire mountain (translation = ski slope) without falling down. I'm the Queen of the World!!!!!!! Who needs a jacuzzi.

2. Jimmy Dean flicks. Inspired by my book-in-hand-of-themoment 'The Film Club' (translation = a very considerate Chrissie present from the hubbster), I finally got around to checking out 'East of Eden' tonight. Apparently Dennis Hopper cites James Dean as his favourite actor of all time. And now I know why.

On a sidenote, is it wrong to have a crush on someone who's been dead for more than several decades?
