It's a new year and I should do resolutions. Not that anything got resolved last year, but tradition and stuff, you know? So. What do I want to happen this year?
I think I want to go abroad. I haven't done that in a while. But it's not a major craving; I'll be pleased if it does happen but I won't be disappointed if it doesn't.
I want to create something this year I'll still be proud of next year. Which possibly means writing some short stories, but I think maybe making a short film is a possibility. I know people and technology that can make this happen. I just need some ideas and willpower.
I'd like it if I wasn't quite so lonely. I guess this means I should go out more and talk to strangers and girls and all those other things you don't do as a child because they are dangerous or smelly.
I'm going to watch a lot of films. This is not a resolution, this is what I do. I'm going to try to see more films at Cinema City, though, since we've stopped doing Director's Chair showings and thus will miss out on a lot of the good stuff.
I'm going to work on the Bar even less. Hopefully I'll soon be taken off everything downstairs except Box Office and Ushering, but until then I'll give away as many shifts as possible, whether I need the money or not. For a brief while I contemplated just being really shit at it - which would be easy, as I am really shit at it - but it turns out I still work a little too hard to be properly crap. This is the downside of being good at my job. I've been working on the bar for well over a year now and I still feel out of place and uncomfortable whenever I'm there so it's definitely time for that to stop.
Books. I'm going to read more this year than the last three combined (which shouldn't be that difficult, really).
I don't want to be any less fit than I am now. In fact, anything less and I'd be borderline clinically dead. I'm not talking about joining a gym or anything drastic like that, but a slightly healthier lifestyle would do a lot for me.
Anyone want to throw any suggestions in?
