The past couple of years I’ve been pretty good and actually got at least one resolution done (set up a spreadshirt account, set up this website, run an event actually about anime at a UK anime convention), so let’s throw some ideas out there.
1. Self Indulgent Vanity publishing. I’ve been meaning to do this for ages. So inspired by today’s Achewood I’m thinking I should make the Awesome Engine Annual* for the end of the year. As my last two doable resolutions have been similarly self-regarding, I’m sure this is achievable. Terribly Xmas presents all round next year!
2. Make better use of the ridiculous amount of webspace I’m paying for. Thank god for the weak dollar.
3. Get all content I want to preserve for the ages off my livejournal and onto this website. There was some Hate Fun? stuff I had only there only when I was trying to keep this site all upbeat joyfullness. But people liked it and so the Hate Fun? thing came here too. There was some good stuff in that original Hate Fun? run of posts that should really be up here.
4. Change internet providers. I’m sure I’m paying more than I should be for the quality of service I’m now getting, so I need to change.
5. Get back into shape. My change of job totally threw out my lifestyle and I’m lot less healthy than I was mid-2006. I need to get back into doing daily 1-2 mile walks again to sort myself out. 2007 was stressful for oh so many reasons that I never managed to get myself into a routine for anything, let alone exercise.
6. Get back into the swing of things with eBay. Again, mid-2006, I was kicking ass on eBay, with one thing and another it fell by the wayside last year, and I still have plenty of junk that I need to unload. Plus my shelves are getting full again, so it’s time for a clear out of books.
That should do, as usual I’ll be happy if one gets done.
* For the non-UK reader, Annuals are a traditional Xmas hardback publication that were originally based on comics. But have expanded to cover magazines, sports, pop music, celebrities or TV shows. Normally they are full of comic strips, stories, quizzes, and text articles. The Doctor Who annual, clocking in at a measly 64 pages (note – this is the page count I’m aiming for!), is the current best selling annual.
