Twenty

Time is a funny thing. This blog, for example, doesn't feel old but is older than the kids of many of my peers. Amazingly it was only eight when the Olympics happened here in London. Oh and check this - I've been posting here for oooh 4/9ths of my life. That's, like, almost half of it (and yes, that will happen eventually). I've written about movies that have since been rebooted or remade.

So it's clear to say that as sad as it may be, this blog is the longest project I've kept in my life - and will probably keep that record even if I stop now. I think I'm quite proud of that, not that it takes a huge amount of effort to post a review every now and then. I think I've accepted the fact that I'll keep posting as long as Google offer the Blogger platform (which these days might not be a given).

And continuing with the thesis, a decade is also a funny amount of time.  It can pass in a blink of an eye, and yet rationally it's a huge chunk of change. Two decades feels like two decades, but that doesn't mean anything if a decade itself feels so abstract.

Here's to 2034!
