Resolutions, and list of books I've read to date...
I'll do the resolutions first.
1. Read 100 graphic novels, mangas, or novels this year. Mostly novels, though, and I'm hoping to do sci-fi, ST, horror, that kinda thing...
2. Lose some weight.
3. Watch 100 movies. Ones that are either new, or I haven't seen in over a couple years.
4. Rewatch Enterprise, STA, and then TOS. In that order.
5. Rewatch five seasons of TV.
6. Watch five seasons of new TV.
7. 20+ stories/chapters of fanfic.
8. 100,000 words of new fiction.
9. Up to 5,000 art pieces scanned.
10. Apply to grad school.
11. Learn Vulcan
12. Meditate. Daily. Start at fifteen minutes a day, moving up to at least an hour a day.
13. Start to phase into becoming a vegetarian. At least try...
14. Organize my room. Keep it organized.
Yes, I'll be lucky to do half of this. I'm an overachiever, I know it. I was also hoping to do 100 books in '09; I decided this 75 books in a couple months ago. At 87, I think I did damn well...

I have a geek/Vulcan post, but I think that will wait for later. Also, I'm probably not going to post more about my sister moving out until she's back home. That drama? I just can't talk about it right now, sorry Kat.
