Even when I was younger and at college while I was careful with money generally (apart from Beer Funds) I never kept records. A friend of mine was really anal about it keeping a log of every single thing he bought. He was a real cheapskate as well.

I had never seen it before this season - looking forward to seeing how it progresses. There are some really fools in those auditions. Does it get more "serious" when it gets to be only decent singers?

SJ4 - thanks, just read it. Let's hope it does snow. It's sad to see places looking like that. me jane - congrats on the baby! I have been reading (and looking forward to the birth story ) Yeah, like I said I didn't post those to moan or anything, just wanted to let people know what to expect.

Resevoid Dogs and Pulp Fiction. (At last, in both cases!)

I like in Shinjuku, lucky guy I am.

I've had 9 days on the slopes this season, my last being yesterday and I think that's it for the season for me, conditions have just deteriorated too much for my liking (and budget decisions!) Best day of the season at Kagura over the new year. Great stuff. Next season I'm trying Hokkaido.

Skiing for 10 seasons on and off.

Hi folks, I've lurked a while but took the plunge today. Just came back from the Yuzawa area of Niigata after a few days. Happily I was meeting a friend up there so it wasn't just for the skiing. I just wanted to post these pics taken today that I took to let people know what things are like. Conditions up there really are bad at the moment on lower runs, and I just wanted to show people as if you go up expecting February conditions you will be shocked. I'm not a snow snob at all but as you can see some of the places are looking pretty sad. I feel sorry for the resorts as it's obviou
