Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday

Christmas Day, this blog celebrated it's first birthday. Last Christmas was my second without BC. Being lonely I sat down to write in hopes that somehow my grief would lessen. And sure enough this blog has helped me heal.

In this past year I have read some incredible blogs and made some blogger friends. Pua and I helped birth a bouncing baby blogger. I moved out of my flat and back into my house in London. I travelled to Azerbaijan and Thailand for my birthday. My best friend died and I lost another friend in the tube bombings in London. I met a young man and had my first summer romance. I met the man that has changed my life. I sold my home in TN and moved to CA to be with him. And now I just learned the owners of the house I wanted to buy there have accepted my offer.

All in all a busy and exciting year. Was blogging responsible for any of it? Maybe not. But it did give me an outlet to express the joys and the sorrows. And for that I am grateful.

I know I haven't been a consistant blogger lately and I don't know if that is likely to change soon. I am just busier living my life than busy writing about it. If I'm not back before 2006 I wish you all Happy Holidays. I love you guys.

Narnia spoiler

Tomorrow is the world premiere of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe based on the on the classic novel by CS Lewis. The premiere will be held at the Royal Albert Hall in London and will be attended by Charles and Camilla. The general release date is friday.

Dark did a lot of work on this film. Here are some of his working cells to give you an idea how the film will look. Pay close attention boys and girls to all the snow scenes, the mountain of the Ice Queen's Palace, the beaver hut scene etc. because that's all the bf's work. You are all allowed to stand and cheer wildly. Thank you.

This month is speeding like a freight train. The bf is madly working on a National Geographic special. I think he's busy destroying Paris and New York in this one. I love a good catastrophe film.

I found a house I like and have made and offer. More on that as it develops. We leave for London on the 18th for the Christmas holidays. Dark's birthday is the 28th and I'm taking him to Venice. Then we will be in Paris for New Years Eve.

Hopefully after that we go back to LA and move into the new house and Ray gets to catch his breath.
