Antici... pation

Am I alone in viewing the future (my future, really, not the general all-purpose stuff-that's-gonna-happen future) as a featureless expanse, ready to be filled up with Experience, and punctuated by Things To Look Forward To?

I was thinking about this on the train this morning, having run rather low on the Anticipation Stakes recently. Managed to scrape up Verdi's Requiem (3rd November), New Year B-Movie (er, New Year), end of NaNoWriMo, arrival of my Biber CD from Amazon ("11-13 days", yes, have heard that one before). This is better, I should add, than some weeks, when the things I look forward to involve sleep, or absence of migraine, or a drink. But it's not very impressive.
