"Opportunity, present thyself."(That quote's all mine.)
Watching the BAFTAs right now - yes, I'm quite aware that the awards were handed out a few days ago, but it's still fun to watch, if only to see Stephen Fry crack jokes. He cracks great jokes. Dry, wry, British jokes.
But on with tonight's topic, which is 'Opportunity'.
It's quite weird with opportunities. Most of the time, there are few. And then, suddenly - lots and lots of them all over the place, and you have to make a choice, when what you really want to do is go with all of them.
It's a season of choices for me.
(Meryl Steep just read Charlie Kaufman's acceptance speech for the Best Adapted Screenplay award, and it was
hilarious. Typical Kaufman stuff, and Streep was the perfect foil for his jokey setup. Excellent, non-scripted, funny, funny stuff.)
Where were we? Oh, yes; opportunities.
It can be a bit overwhelming with opportunities, because you're not sure which road to take. Every road terminates in a different place, and it's impossible to know where you're meant to be. Although I guess there's never really any 'meant to be'. There's only one road - the one you take.
Right. Enough with the boring philosophising. I will now proceed to tease you with one word that's sure to make a lot of people happy (although you won't know why yet):
Tomorrow.
