Pop Culture Curmudgeon

New Year's Resolutions

No matter how many times I resolve not to make New Year’s Resolutions, I find that every year I just can’t help myself. New Year’s Day just brings out that sense of fresh beginnings that make me want to start everything fresh and new.

In addition to the uzhe (lose weight, get my finances in order, drink more water), I have a few pop culture resolutions.

I resolve to:

Keep up-to-date on my favorite shows. I shudder to think how long it has been since I watched How I Met Your Mother, and mid-season hiatus is only partly responsible.
Post five days a week, even when I’m working on other projects.
See more movies. You know that I talk mostly about tv. That is because I rarely see movies–since we got the dogs, movies just became much less important. But I like movies, and I like to see them in the theater.
Keep the WOW playing within reason. In So I Married an Axe Murderer, Charlie’s father hated the Colonel and KFC because the put a substance in the chicken that makes you crave it fortnightly. World of Warcraft is even more insidious. I don’t know how they make a visual medium that addictive, but my hat is off to the folks at Blizzard. Well done.

Any other ideas?
