New Year's resolutions

My internet connection has been slightly wonky today, so I decided to post my New Year's resolution(s) early, just to be sure it gets posted AT ALL.

Last year, my resolution was rather simple: comment on every fic that I actually liked, even just to say "Thank you." And I kept it. Every fic that I found worth rec'ing and bookmarking, got a comment from me. I hope to keep it up next year too.

So, this year? My New Year's resolution is book related: to cut my to-read lists of books and manga on GR in half, to make a real dent in them. Right now, my to-read shelf lists 188 books, my to-read-manga shelf then 46. Which means, I hope that by the end of 2011, the former will be down to at least 100, the latter to 20. We'll see...

And what am I looking forward to on the fannish front next year? Fast Five, another Dom and Brian adventure in the cinema. Mark Del Franco's next book in his "Connor Grey" series. USA Network's Common Law which I really, really, REALLY hope gets a series pick-up (come on, Michael Ealy and Warren Kole as cop partners sent to couple's therapy for disliking each other!).

So, what about you? What do you look forward to on the fannish front next year?

Inception, hm

I watched Inception again today. And I have to say... I still don't see the slash between Arthur and Eames. Yeah, their bickering was funny - the two or three lines they had together - and they obviously knew each other from before, but... ::shrug:: I did like the scene in Arthur's dream, when Eames was about to fall asleep and he told Arthur to watch out for the guards and Arthur told him to just sleep already, that was cute. But... I don't know, I think I could read a fic or two but I'm not all ZOMG, TEH SLASH! Hm, what am I missing?

But back to the movie: my favorite part was Arthur's dream level, his fight in the corridor, the kick he came up with, that was awesome. My least favorite, the Limbus level, Cobb and Mal - that was too dragged out, IMHO.

Star Trek Reboot

Me and my mom, we watched ST:Reboot tonight. She loved it. She watches ST:TNG but she isn't a huge fan of the ST franchise so most of the shout-outs and quirks went past her, but she liked the movie on its own merits.

And once more I realized just how awesome Karl Urban's Bones was. Man, I'm now filled with glee again and I want to read more Kirk/Bones fics because those two are simply adorable together. I loved how sharply the lines were drawn in the movie: it was Kirk and Bones in one corner and Spock and Uhura in the other. Neat!

I really love the movie and I can't wait for the sequel. 2012? It's so far away...
