It's the Year of the Water Dragon. I have no idea what that means because my knowledge of Chinese shenanigans is close to my sense of direction which means it's equals to zilch, nada, zero. Still, it made me have the urge to post something on my blog.
Note to self: Google Year of the Water Dragon and the exact term for Chinese... err.. hmmm... horoscope.


Because this year's brand new, like a new shirt that screams of fabric conditioner, I have convinced myself to write a list of things I should be doing this year. There are three things I want to do this year.
First, compile a list of the books I have read. Last year has been the lowest of the low in terms of reading. I believe I have read the fewest books not in my entire life but in the entire life of me relatively having a good taste in books. Yes, I risk tagging myself as having a good taste in books. Oh so what if I don't? I get bragging rights in finishing The Name of a Rose. Duh. Plus, I hate Twilight which makes me at least a tad better than the part of the self-proclaimed book readers who like it. Also, more because this is my blog. Really you have no business here if you're not a friend who would allow me a few caprices and whims.


Anyway, I hope by listing the books I've read I will be encouraged to read more. So what have I read so far this year? 1Q84, The Shining, and currently reading A Dance with Dragons. The first two books were read when I was home where there was no Internet. I think I really am in trouble here.


So there, that's the first thing I wanted to do.


Second would be to get as many valid ID's as I can and to finally get my passport. It's time to travel outside the country. Just because.


Third, I should really seriously learn how to swim. This actually does not need an explanation. Like, it doesn't.


I hope I can do all three. As I'm typing this, I know Number 3 is close to impossible. An all-too-familiar laziness is settling on my extremities already. If the world were to end 11 months from now, even a life skill such as swimming is not gonna save me. We'll see; we'll see.
