* * *
What was top of your Christmas wish list this year, excluding world peace?
May I please have clear, blue skies and a light sea breeze. And sunsets that go on forever.
As a wee 'un, what was the one present you always wanted but never got?
I always wanted a Playmobil set of little people and accessories. One of my friends had one. Those little cars and houses were so cute.
Do you still want it?
I'd rather have a new landscaped garden and a puppy.
Defining moment of 2006, for you personally?
Releasing Stellar*'s third album. Took a while, but finally it's out there.
Most overrated thing/person/topic?
The book The Da Vinci Code and Britney Spears stepping out of the car sans underwear.
Album of the year?
Something Like Strangers by Stellar* - but of course.
Movie/DVD of the year?
I have to recommend the Curb Your Enthusiasm box set of DVDs, all of them! I think series five is out now. It will make you cringe and look at the screen through your fingers. Fun.
Person of the year?
Wilson Pickett passed away. The world lost a soul legend.
New Year's resolution for 2007?
I shalt not spend so much money on unnecessary things. I shalt not drink as much as I did in 2006 unless it's someone's birthday or it's a social environment where it would be considered rude not to. I shalt not procrastinate. I will be happy if I manage to achieve one of the above.
Your prediction for 2007's "next big thing"?
2008
