I didn’t do much today, aside from watching football. I’m not making any major resolutions this year either. I did make all the arrangements to go to WonderCon today though. As usual, I wasn’t really sure I wanted to go this year, but a few things convinced me to go again. Basically, a good guest lineup, plus a general desire to get out of New Jersey for a few days. And a chance to see the Chinese New Year Parade again!
I haven’t really done much reflection on 2007. Normally, I would get kind of reflective on New Year’s Day, but I haven’t really been in that frame of mind. Well, just for the heck of it, here are some things I’ve done in 2007:
Books and comics I’ve read and liked:
- Absolute Watchmen
- Nextwave
- David Allen’s Getting Things Done and Ready for Anything (though I haven’t finished RFA yet)
- the first two Jasper Fforde “Thursday Next” novels
- a couple of Jim Butcher “Harry Dresden” novels
Movies & TV shows I’ve enjoyed:
- Paprika (my favorite movie of the year, for whatever that’s worth)
- Once
- Ratatouille
- The Simpsons Movie
- Rise: Blood Hunter (okay, not exactly high-brow, but fun)
- Torchwood
- Life on Mars
- Heroes
Music I’ve liked:
- Wilco – Sky Blue Sky
- Ryan Adams – Easy Tiger
- Paul McCartney – Memory Almost Full
- Pizzicato Five – Made in USA (from 1994, but I’d never heard it until this year)
- Derek and the Dominoes – Layla (I only just got around to buying this CD in 2007)
Pointless stuff I’ve spent money on:
- new couch
- iPod Touch
- TomTom One LE GPS
- Dell Inspiron laptop
- MacBook
- Microsoft Office 2007
- Motorola SLVR
- 19″ widescreen LG monitor
- Toshiba HD-DVD player
Things I didn’t get around to doing:
- buying a new car (the old one’s still working, but maybe not for much longer)
- checking out the new Greek and Roman galleries at the Met
- visiting the new Morimoto restaurant in NYC
Well, that’s just a bunch of random lists off the top of my head. I guess the two big things that happened in 2007 for me were the office move my company did (from Edison to Somerset), and my mostly successful implementation of GTD.
