Happy New Year!

I rang in the New Year eating pizza and junk food and watching Japanese monster movies. With my Christmas loot I bought copies of Destroy all Monsters and Gamera: Defender of the Universe. Destroy All Monsters was extremely cheesey, like a well-done episode of the old Dr. Who series, though it didn't have enough monster mashing through Tokyo for my taste. The Gamera movie is only about 10 years old and was actually really good (for a Japanese monster movie).

When sharing my NYE plan with someone I remembered when I was younger that WOR out of NY would air Godzilla movies in the days following Thanksgiving. I'd sit and watch them while eating hot turkey sandwiches. The memories. Maybe next year I will eat Japanese food and watch Japanese monster movies. This could be the start of a new tradition.

Sounds like a good tradition.

Heard that the new Dr. Who will be announced tomorrow.

Actually, I haven't seen any of the newer Dr. Who episodes. I can barely stomach non Tom Baker episodes of Dr. Who. I'm still waiting for BSG 4.0. (I know what I am doing this weekend!)
