Happy New Year! I’m glad that 2004 is here and the holiday season is gone. I sometimes feel a little disconnected during all the seasonal merriment, not belonging to one of the more dominant religions. Yay 2004, bring it on!
I don’t tend to do New Year’s Resolutions. Usually my resolution is to not make any resolutions. Or to wear more lipstick so I can pretend to be a glam librarian. There are a few things I feel like doing, so these are a couple of my New Year’s Vague Intentions:
Keep track of what I read: I’m a little jealous of people being able to know what they’ve read for an entire year. I tend to read very quickly, thanks to the excellent visual training I got by working through the comic books sitting around the house when I was little so the list will probably be long and scary.
Less Clutter: I’ve already started this a bit by organizing my dvd collection : )
And I have a bag of books to donate to the public library and have mentally set aside some of the things in my closets for goodwill, so I just have to actually get rid of it!

Hey, thanks for the plug. These days it seems like I write the books down so I’ll know if I’ve already read them.
Plus, I’m a huge list geek.
Less clutter is a vague intention of mine, too, as well as the usual get more exercise/lose weight one (ha!). I watched the Clean Sweep marathon on New Year’s Day and got mildly inspired. We organized our kitchen cupboards. Now if I could only get brave enough to tackle the ever-spreading piles in our bedroom…
