Happy Birthday, scribbulus_ink! :)

A brief recap, in my humble opinion:

Best movie of 2005 - Kung Fu Hustle by such a long way it's not even funny. At last, a movie that completely lived up to my expectations, even if it technically isn't a 2005 movie. ;)

Best new tv series - Rome, since while we always knew what was going to happen to certain characters, Vorenus and Pullo were really the stars. Roll on season 2!

Standout music newcomers - again, up against some stiff competition, Arctic Monkeys took it for me. I'm looking forward to their debut album at the end of January.

The 'there's life in the old dog yet' award for 2005 - has to go to the reincarnation of Dr Who. Whether you like Eccleston or Tennant, you can hardly deny that it was a triumphant return of the show. Hats off to Russell T Davies, not least for creating Captain Jack and getting away with stuff that would never fly on mainstream US television. :)

And while I'm always a little self-conscious about writing sex scenes, since I know that what works for me won't necessarily work for everyone reading it, I came across this descriptive gem somewhere in my travels and felt I ought to share it with everyone on my friends list who writes:

"Their slippery cocks were like two river otters, sliding over and under one another, muscles flexing in play."

Yes, that's going on the list for the 2006 connotations panel. ;)
