and as 2007 draws to a close: lists
I enjoy lists.
In 2006, I kept a list of every book I read.
And guess what? I did it this year, too.
Comic trades are listed, but not all the individual comics I read, so even though I've been following Y: The Last Man all year, only the books are on there. Pretty much for the same reason I wouldn't list one letter, but there's a book of letters listed.

Also, here are all the movies I watched for the first time this year. If it seems meager, keep in mind that the majority of my viewing time was spent on a glorious modern invention known as direct-to-DVD television series.

My goal for 2007? Watch more movies, waste less time dicking around on the internet when I don't really have any business on there.
Other, loftier enterprises I mean to undertake:
Become financially secure.
Keep on getting fit.
Go back to school.
Get my driver's license.
Be less snarky.
How about that?
