Holiday FAIL

My illustrious coblogger already put up a New Year’s wish from both of us, but I simply had to add this one. There’s a big fake-o tree made of lights on the highway by my digs. It’s supposed to spell out “Joy Hope Peace Love Faith” or something to that effect. Some of the lights burnt out, leaving us with this gem:

Someone. Please. Alert Failblog. Now. (Ignore the fact that it looks a bit like a dilapidated FAIU).
Happy New Year everyone! I hope your holiday season was a standout!

Whatever happened to that New Year’s Resolution?

So last year, about this time, I made a resolution. I resolved to read 100 books in a year. 100 books in 365 days, just a little under 1 book every three days. It was a hard challenge, but I felt (and still feel) that I need to be well-read person, and so I plugged away. I was all on schedule and doing great when…I started a blog. Round about May. And since then, that hour or so a night when I was reading away went *poof*. I do not regret the blog for a minute, and I hope it will be stealing my time for some time to come (well, ok, maybe dissertation time is a little too precious). But I did keep plugging away. As of right now, I managed to get 63% of my goal complete. That’s not very impressive, I know, but it IS over 20,000 pages. And I did get through some of the things I’d always told myself I was going to read.
I even had RULES. The rules:
I could not have read it before (this means if I was in the middle of a series, only the ones I read since I started are included).
It could not be work-related.
And so a few weeks ago, as I closed in on #60, I though perhaps you guys might be interested in all the books I’ve been reading over the last year. Ok, maybe not ALL of them…

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

To all the people who read Neurotopia, and too all the people who don’t, too. This year’s been crazy for the two of us (it makes Evil there go a little insane, then he starts talking to himself, and we all know what that’s like…), but it’s been good for a lot of things. After all, we started bloggin’ together! But it’s the readers that make it all worthwhile. You guys are great, even when you’re pointing out our shortcomings. Perhaps especially then.
So here’s wishing you all a great 2009, that all your resolutions come true. As for us, we’re running into this year full speed ahead.

Srsly.
Happy New Year!
