I'm up late (for me) and had the urge to look back through my blog. There's some fascinating things I'm noticing again for the first time in over a year(!) -
I used to blog about a thing I called The Stacks. I would list all the media I was currently working my way through...only it appears I never got anywhere with any of it. Example from my last post on September 17, 2007:

And this stuff was on my pile to read/watch back on September 17, 2007! And it's not like I haven't added to that in the past year.
I spend entirely too much money on stuff still patiently waiting on shelves. I'm up to 13 bookshelves full of stuff in my home. I'm literally surrounded by unfinished purchases.
Also, there were labels for posts about weight loss (no success there) and bike riding (haven't done that almost half a year) - things that have fallen by the wayside.
All is not lost. In fact, I have some plans for next year, plans that might reinvigorate this blog (and the joy I get from writing)...
Stay tuned.
