Happy New Year

Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader wishes you all a very happy New Year. His long weekend was spent playing with the Villainettes (playing Uno in fact - they love it), playing with the dog, playing games on the PC, and watching all three Lord of the Rings movies. "Fellowship of the Ring" with Mrs. Villain on Friday night. "The Two Towers" with Mrs. Villain on Saturday night. (Mrs. Villain fell asleep about 1/2 way through.) And "Return of the King" last night. Wow! Viewed together they have catapulted into the top 5 of your Maximum Leader's favourite movies. (Others include: "The Lion in Winter," "Lawrence of Arabia," "Bridge on the River Kwai," and "Blade Runner.")

Your Maximum Leader also took a break from reading e-mails or blogs for three days. So, today will likely be a catch-up day.

Your Maximum Leader, because he is all about sharing, will share with you the only "resolution" he's made. To buy "Rome: Total War" and waste and entire day of his life learning to play it.

New Years resolutions are silly. If you want to make a change in your life, decide to do it and get going. Don't wait for some arbitrary date that comes with the baggage of "no-one-really-keeps-resolutions." Of course, if you are Fallen and resolve to shag a lot - well, that might be an exception.

Carry on.
