HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!! Hope all of you are having a safe and fun holiday. Just like what I did for 2006, I’ve posted a list below of key dates and events that should be of interest this year...that is, if you’re a sports fan or a movie buff. Or a space geek for that matter, haha. I’d add more dates in, but who really cares about when a parliamentary election takes place in Finland (March 18)? Or when the Manchester International Festival begins (June 28)? I don’t, hahaha. Anyways, carry on...
