Things I Enjoyed in 2006

In no particular order.

• Children of Men – Fantastic thriller with Clive Owen and Michael Caine. Strong cast, an inspired dystopian future, and a valuable lesson for today.



• Fancy Dress Parties – The most fun you can have with someone else’s clothes on!



• Animal Crossing: Wide World – The reason I bought a Nintendo DS, and the reason I’m happy when it rains.



• Best friends – A cliché, but these are the people that kept me sane (You know who you are!)



• FilmFour – for bringing me all the Studio Ghibli goodness I could handle.



• CSI: New York – I’m a late-comer, but it’s still the only regular TV I watch. And I’m in love with “Montana”.



• Sugar Rush 2 – Great show with a great cast. More please.



• Lock and Load’s Battle of the Bands – Its encouraging seeing so much new local musical talent. And it’s the best night out you’ll have in Yarmouth during Spring/Summer.



• That Mitchell and Webb Look – And in particular The Surprising Adventures of Sir Digby Chicken Caesar. Dunderunderunderunderun…



• The Norwich Playhouse – Great place for a quiet drink in the evening. And as it’s far off the beaten track you don’t get the usual Friday-night rent-a-mob.



• We Love Katamari – If only I could get that catchy theme tune out of my head.



• Dead Rising – As much as hate the Xbox, this is the best zombie game ever!



• Nicola from Girls Aloud – my current lust object



• Evans – as every big girl knows.



• Wikipedia – Not always right, but always useful.



• Kingdom of Loathing – Still playing this online roleplayer one year on. And there’s still new content being added.
