New Year


For those of you who didn't already know, we are now in a 'new' year. This doesn't actually mean anything (it's like being a year older --- you're not really more than a day older than you were before your birthday).

However, it is nice to be able to have a mark on a timeline that you can use to reposition yourself or evaluate your life's trajectory. We often refer to this recalibration as 'New Years Resolutions'. Things that we resolve to accomplish in the new year.

Usually these resolutions involve some health/fitness concern or are vague (and thus achievable) like 'swearing less in public places when kids are present'.

So here's this years resolution (pertaining to blgging) from me:

"I [Ben] hereby resolve
to write about stuff
other than movies."


Okay, so that's not really a big deal (I can still comment on Peter's posts), but there is so much that I am interested in other than movies that I thought it would be a good discipline to write about those things and not Hollywood. Of course, I will end up making references to movies or actors, but only as they pertain to whatever I am writing about.

So how about you all, any good resolutions this year?

I resolve not to buy anything at McDonald's--again. Pop suggested adding Wal-Mart to the list, but I don't think I could do it, as much as I dislike shopping there.
