Happy New Year!
Jan. 3rd, 2015 10:56 amHey all! Sorry I've been MIA since the holidays started. That cold I got right before Christmas kicked my ass. I've been a slug, dragging myself from place to place. Came home from work early several times and just passed out. I'm finally starting to feel back to normal today, the sinus pressure has started to lessen a bit.
I didn't get to do any of my traditional end-of-the-year postings! So be read for those later this month LOL. I sort of did the books, but I need to do my movies. I watched a lot, but most of them were rewatches this year. Now that I've got GoodReads for tracking books and Letterboxd for tracking movies, I'll use LJ for tracking TV shows I watch and video games I play.
I have not watched the Doctor Who special yet. At first, I was still so upset about this past season's finale, I wasn't going to bother, but my friend Mathew has been raving about the episode and the online reviews I saw were a lot more positive then I expected, so I will get to that soon.
I set my GoodReads challenge at 100 books this year, but mostly because I find myself listing children's picture books and comic books more as I read them so I can find them later. I did have 80 books but decided this would make a big enough buffer so I can list silly stuff and not feel like I cheated LOL. I've already got four books up on the list, two of which I was almost finished with on Dec 31 and just happened to finish on Jan 1 and 2...so I didn't really read them in 2015 but shhhh! And then I read two 'Adventure Time' comic books while feeling icky yesterday. Look at me, ahead of the game! (it's won't last, I got games for presents)
Work weirdness will start on Monday. We are having the inside of the library renovated and will be closed to the public for a MONTH. So for January, I will be working a normal 9-5, Mon-Fri shift. Which is cool...except I lose my two sleep in days each week, which might be rough. I like sleeping in. Construction crew should arrive next week and start taking down/building our new desk. And staff will be pulling books off the shelves and moving the shelves and just making a huge mess LOL. It's going to be an adventure.
Okay, my tea is cool enough now! I shall sip and while eating leftover cupcakes from my NYE gathering. Good times were had, even if Tim and I were sniffling the entire night. :)
