Pretty good year

barringtonI feel kind of obliged to say something about the turning of the calendar, though all I really want to say is that axial tilt and/or co-opted pagan rituals are the reasons for the season (thanks Lore Sjöberg for that one). Still, no doubt you'd like to know, wouldn't you?
The verdict on 2006 (which is to say, my verdict for myself during 2006) is that it started off well, quickly dived into the depths of despair (pausing only to take in the sites at the slough of despond), and then climbed back to awesome, slowly at first but with a kind of exponential growth (and recovering admirably from a severe dent in the graph towards the end), culminating in a lovely finale. So it was kind of like the tension graph you usually see in textbooks on how to write single-act drama.
I will note that the 2006 Melbourne Comedy Festival happened at just the right time for me last year, and so it seems fitting that I am repaying the debt by gracing the 2007 festival with my presence.
As for 2007, well, four days in and already at least six amazing things have happened, or at least suggested they might happen, some so amazing I can't even talk about them yet. But they're all good, rest assured.
