Happy New Year n' All That.
Here it is, December 31, and is it any surprise that I'm listening to a countdown right now? ;) Live 105 is doing theirs (it started at 10am and I'm just listening now--they're at 53, "I Will Follow You Into the Dark" by Death Cab for Cutie--so I'm sure some of you are surprised that I didn't start listening from the beginning like I've always done over the years). Offhand I'd say 2006's songs were better than last year's. And of course, any year where a Beatles album comes out is a good year. ;)
[Side note: my Best of 2006 list should be done sometime later on tonight, so you might not see it until tomorrow, but at least it will be done. Just so you know!]
I managed to get a lot done that I set out to do (which is kind of a surprise for me, given my slacker attitude sometimes), and given that I spent most of this year discovering things in and around our new hometown, I'm kind of happy that my "ooh shiny" ADD didn't kick in more often. I even managed to pretty much finish off the vampire novel (almost done, kids--coming very close! Just a few more hours' work here...). This year ended up pretty good.
Haven't really made any official "resolutions" (see previous post), other than both Emm and I decided we should discover more things in the city instead of going to all the same regular haunts all the time. And getting in shape! :p
Of course, 2007 is also The Year Jonc Goes Freelance. I'm going to make a commitment to leave the world of 9-to-5 once and for all and ply my mad writing skillz where they're appreciated and duly paid for. That's going to be one hell of a change for me, but I'm up for it. I will, of course, stay with the current job until I'm set to make the plunge (having money in the bank = good idea).
On that note, have a Happy New Year, people! Let's hope 2007 kicks ass! :)
