As regular readers will know, December and June are typically the times when I, not to put too fine a point on it, go a bit mental. This explains in large part my quietness here. It’s harder to detect the start of a downward journey in an environment of general cheer and contentment, but it has exerted its pull for a week or two and I must feign patience until it recedes. I am good at weathering this, though I hate it.
Depression, however, is apparently no barrier to pottering away on Facebook, so should you miss me too acutely, that is where I may be found. I will willingly play you at Scrabble, Wordscraper, Scramble or Word Twist. It is likely you can beat me with relative ease in any of these forums, so for what are you waiting?
Regular readers will also know of my fondness for Chris Christmas Rodriguez. Vote him to replace Santa, this and every year.

I think I love Chris Christmas Rodriguez.
The viral originally came out round about when I was teaching the film Traffic and my students and I had spent a lot of time saying “Javier Rodriguez Rodriguez”. A lot of time.

I don’t make a habit of falling more than nineteen times for the same trick, you know?
I’m glad you have the weathering thing down pat, but friends are always on hand. And they shall wait patiently for the resumption of regular blogging – as they most certainly should.
Rodriguez’s soundtrack is from a song played on Ghost Dog, Tikitha, Walking Through The Darkness, I haz it, am I Rodriguez?

Also, I would love to hear your thoughts on Traffic vs Requiem For A Dream some day, and how can you divert merc to Face Book, arghhhhhhhhhhhh.
I don’t like this time of year particularly. There is a feeling of repressed hysteria about it that throws me off centre, or something. I hope your down time passes quickly.
I don’t play games on Facebook. I’m not good at them & also, I’m afraid to say, am an extremely bad loser. I tried Scrabulous a few times and absolutely EVERYBODY beat me. I was a good sport the first few times but eventually could take it no more, and removed the application in a fit of pique.

Which is ironic, considering that a strategically placed “pique” would have netted you quite a few points, I would think.
In the cold nights of Christmas in England we played a lot of Scrabble.
I thought coming here would make Christmas easier, but it still makes me miserable. You are not alone.
That cheered me right up.
We lufz Chrissymas because we surf unmolested in the early dawn while the others wake, wheeze and yawn.
