Happy 2023, Friends!
I had a great plan to start making myself post every day or so, and have promptly gone a week without even starting. though, technically... last week wasn't a full week, so y'know. Whatever.
Anyway.
Can I just take a second to say how much I miss PhotoBucket? I know it turned into a mess of a place, but the ease of just dropping a photo, linking, and posting... those were the days. Biz pays for a pretty decent server host, but they are clearly geared more to the back side of things, and there are about 12 steps to go through to upload a photo. And there's no gallery, so many years on, I've made little progress on cleaning up all the dead links over here.
But, as with every year, it on the list.
Also on the list:
+ finish the crafty WIPs before starting new projects (there are three projects that were already planned for 2023, so they're being counted as WIPs)
+ unless it's a super-quick project, no NEW projects until I put a dent in the new ones I've bought over the last two years.
---- if I can get my HTML-shit together, I may get to a point where I collect photos of the various projects and let y'all vote on which one to do like I'm some sort of social media person LOL
+ PLAY MORE GAMES. I follow the orders of my master, Wil. I've collected quite a few computer games, the last two years; some paid and some free. I've played maybe three of them.
---- I spent a LOT of money on the Hogwarts Legacy preorder. I did it for the Thestral. I am not ashamed to admit it.
+ READ MORE BOOKS. I think I read one book in 2022. Maybe. But I sure bought a few. Also I have a large collection of ebooks from over the years; and books on the shelves. And the floor. In multiple rooms. [facepalm emoji here]
+ Use the @&$% treadmill I convinced my mom to give me. It's not been touched since the day my dad and brother hauled it up three flights of stairs.
---- I'm hoping that I can prop up the ipad, somehow, and read and walk at the same time.
---- Another option here is to use the time to continue listening to all the music I have in my collection, so I can try to cull some of it out. Not sure it'll involve the reopening of steves-jukebox.. but I could also just hit delete on most of it and cross that off the list. LOL
+ Clean up the HTML here. This one really needs to get done (see above)
---- I keep saying I'm going to put more effort into transferring stuff to Ao3. This would apply to the fic, not the graphics, of course.
---- I really would love to get back into writing, anyway, but there's just a Grand Canyon-sized block in my way.
+ Landcomm participation needs to go UP. OMG.
---- I am challenging myself to get back into making icons, at least. Also I have a lot of icontest banners that are so late that I'm sure the various mods have given up on me.
---- I bought myself a second monitor, last year, and while it's the same as the original, the new one is decidedly BRIGHTER. So that should make icons fun. LOL At least now I have an idea why everything always seemed to have a yellow tinge on the work computer, the next day.
And, at this point, I am remembering why I was going to make myself post more.
Speaking of things I miss - the stupid cross-post feature. GET OVER YOURSELF LJ. Let DW have the access. I appreciate that you keep extending my renewal, since I can't actually renew my account, but Lord. LET US HAVE THIS ONE LITTLE THING, PLEASE? Harumph.
Okay. I need to actually work this week, because January begins the shitshow of my work year.
As mentioned above, the plan is to start posting more regularly.. I just don't yet know HOW regular. Maybe I should make a list of the days and assign a topic and that what gets posted. Monday=movies ; Tuesday=tv ; etc etc
I'll think on it.
Anyway.. hope you're all well, so far. ♥♥
