Dec. 23rd, 2013 10:22 pmLately, I've been feeling a bit... off. Not at all inspired to watch anything or even update my LJ/DW or Tumblr properly. I think it all started when Paul Walker died. His death still seems completely impossible, inconceivable to me. It feels like it stole all my fannish feelings and since then, I just... wallow. I hate it.
So, next year... what to do next year...? More memes and challenges, I think. 75 books to read on GoodReads. I've managed 73 so far this year, with one audiobook 1/3 through and still a week to go. I can manage 75 before the year's end. And I would like to reduce my manga "to-read" shelf by half, at least. I would also like to return more books to my boss, some of them I've been holding hostage since 2009!!! What else?
Another "30 movies in 30 days" challenge. It really helped me make a dent into the piles of movies on/under/inside my table. You can't even imagine just how many movies I actually own, you really can't. And... probably something along the lines of a "3x30" challenge, 3 episodes of... something every day. I have so many shows downloaded that I actually had to buy a new external HDD today, Verbatim 1TB! Not to mention all the DVDs! This challenge will help me sort the mess out. My OCD will not allow anything else.
Oh, speaking of books - my next translation? Oliver Bowden's new Assassin's Creed book, "Black Flag". I hate books about ships. Naval terminology and me? No buddies.
And... that's it. They are threatening us with another windstorm in the next 2 days, up to 90kph here and just here, where I live. Figures. I hate windy weather. But what can you do? *sigh*
