Hi, 2012!
Thought about it, and mostly what I want to do in the new year is the same thing I did in 2011. Just a lot more of it.
Teres and I continued building something of a social life, listened to some great music and made a lot of new friends. More of that, please.
(Teres and I are still having more fun together every year, no reason to slow down now.)
I continued developing my skills at work and found different ways to not only do a job I love but teach others to do it as well. Well, maybe not “as well”…
I did more freelance work than ever before, including a just-finished spec screenplay. An author whose book I liked posted on her Facebook page that she was having problems getting a script adaptation of it done, and since I’ve critiqued my share of movies over the years I thought it karmically apt to let others take a swing at me. She liked it and sent it off to her producer today. Most likely event, knowing Hollywood? That’s the most I’ll be involved with it. But writing it was the most (non-Teresa) fun I’ve had in a while and I want to keep doing it.
Kept practicing the photography and got to shoot the My Generation / Yes concert in Orlando. I plan to do a lot more of that, so beware.
Health? Well, I’m still mostly healthy, “just” carrying an extra person’s worth of weight I don’t need, so we’ll see if I can do something about that.
Watched less TV and fewer movies last year than any year of my life since age 4 or so. But what I saw was amazing. I’ve decided life’s to cheap to waste it on substandard fare, so step up, Hollywood and indie creators. (I happen to know about a great screenplay…)
Read more new books than previously. My ratio tends to be one new book, three old favorites, but ebooks make it so easy…
Online I think I’ll spend less time playing with every new social site that comes along and concentrate more in the few I actually use. Anyone’s guess how that will turn out.
Mostly I’ll just be me, as hard as I can. So, you know, heads up.
