been a bad bad blogger

[swirlsiren]

i know i know. i haven't posted in almost a week and i've been TERRIBLE at replying to comments. gomen! my life has been sucked up by three things really:

• nintendo ds - particularly Elite Beat Agents
• Sailor Moon - i re-downloaded the complete series and am more than halfway through it now. whee!
• Heroes - um, yeah this is pretty much my new show.

i got hooked on heroes on new year's day. mark and i watched about 5 hours of it in our jammies and i got HOOKED! which is funny because i was totally skeptical about the show even though i'd heard good things. i got all caught up and am deeply in love. ali larter is on this show! one of my girl crushes! i didn't even know that! and gunn from angel! oh, and i <3 hiro. like woah. he is my #1 fave.

aside from all the media that has been absorbing me, i've just been working and sleeping. my hours have been drastically cut back at work so i'm looking for some freelance type work to help pay the bills, but i think i'm coming to the point where i'm going to have to start looking for another job. which sucks. this is honestly my favorite job i've had and i'm really happy there, but i can barely pay my bills as it is. i'm going to have to do something soon. i'm a little scared.

and because i promised it, here are my year end best of/resolutions.

let's start with the latter:
RESOLUTIONS!

• SAVE MONEY - there's a lot of expensive things coming up in the next year and a half and i have no savings. i need to make more and spend less. i'm trying to go to new zealand in the next year! that's serious!
• eat healthier - less take away, more cooking.
• quit smoking (again!) - i'm on day 5 with no cigarettes. so far i've only had a hankering about 2 times. today will be a bit of a test though as many of my cousins smoke and will likely ask me to join them. i'm just going to be strong and say no. i've quit before and i can do it again. it's gonna stick this time dammit. i've hit the point in my life where i just don't want to be a smoker.
• clean out closet
• organize desk and file away important papers

some of these are big changes and some of them are minor. all of them are within my reach. dammit.

and now, BEST OF 2006! and by that i mean things that i came to really love and appreciate and will be the things that i take with me into the future.
