2012
Fuck traditions! I could not have a better motto for this year. I am so tired of traditions and of conservatism and of doing things the way they have always been done. I don't mind a few silly ones, but really, I try to break out from anything past-related as often as I can. How ironic, then, that I'm actually managing to start writing this thing ( Read more... ) -
2011
It's interesting how a writing situation (dare I say, dispositive) affects the stuff you write, especially when you are writing an annual retrospective. How traditions change ... in the elder days, tradition dictated that this retrospective would be written in the night before New Year's Eve, mostly depressed and under the influence of alcohol, ( Read more... ) -
2010
This is a weird position to be writing my look back at the year. For the first time in ages, I am actually spending my New Year's Eve both not at home and not with a girlfriend.

I sometimes have the feeling that it's a tradition that harks back to my ( Read more... ) -

2008
As tradition wants it, this is the time of the year, where I write down memories and feelings about the year that just passed me. I will do it again this year, even skipping making my list of favourite films in order to get this retrospective done before the year is finished.

"You're one of my ten favourite people."
Someone said this to me today. And not just anybody. Nope, it was Marietta, my ex-best-female-friend and ex-girlfriend from five years ago whom I never stopped being fascinated with (read this and this, for example). The fact that she was my Ex and that I had other girlfriends and she had a boyfriend who knew me from before always kept us from ( Read more... ) -
Top 5
She didn't make me miserable, or anxious, or ill-at-ease. It sounds boring. It wasn't. It wasn't spectacular either. It was just - good. Really good

If they make films (and books, but I just watched the film again) like High Fidelity, don't they just know that people like me will go ahead and repeat all the lists from the film? These ( Read more... ) -
