Did you all enjoy your 'leap second' in the UK? That extra second the powers above decided to plonk into our lives at midnight, leaving Big Ben dizzy and everyone thinking about the extra second they can spend in bed? I hope so. Happy New Year to you all. I'm still deciding what to do with my leap second. It's still 2005 here in the US; we are so last year. And California is mopping up after torrential storms brought serious floods to our neck of the woods. There's me lambasting the KCRA wetaher reports, Mark Finan and his beloved Triple Doppler system, well this morning he played with it like it was Christmas morning. The weather was finally the real news, as the Sacramento weirs were opened, and we had the heaviest downpours since 1955 (when Marty McFly went back in his Delorean). There is more to come, but right now it is sunny and bright. I just went out on my bike to check out some waterlogged fields. I had my dvd camera; two young guys in a car stopped and asked me to film them splashing through a puddle. So I did. I bumped into them again later, and did it a second time. Wow, what a splash. I will be submitting the resulting feature at Cannes. So that was 2005 then. A year of many changes, for me and my wife. Moving to America, finishing my MA; and of course the July 7 bombs. I wonder what 2006 will bring? The impeachment of George W Bush? I doubt it, but hope so. More horrific events, natural and otherwise? I imagine so, but hope not. I for one will try to eat better, for soon I will be turning thirty, and am already edging closer to the day when I wake up and say: "ohmygodi'mabigfatbastard!!!!!" 'Merry New Year', unless you have been here before, in which case 'Happy Deja Vu'.
a leap of faith
