2025 Fun Goals

[kilroy]

Dreamwidth just ate my lengthier post, so let's keep this simple.

Read 20 new-to-me books. Comics and roleplaying books don't count.
Watch 20 new-to-me movies. Probably need to find a regular timeslot to make this happen.
Clear one shelf of games and puzzles. Do them for the first time or play them again to see if they need to go to a new home.
Read the Squirrel Girl Omnibus.
Restart regular Rock Band. Preferably by April, just to give myself a deadline.

Let's see if we can get it done!

Good luck! I know you have a Stack but I am happy to provide book recs if desired. :)

I am experimenting with Bookwrym (https://bookwyrm.social/ ) instead of goodreads. The inability to post notes that are just for me (sometimes I don't want it to be a public review, sometimes I want to post references only I will get!) irritated me enough I took a friend's suggestion to try bookwrym.

There is a bit of oddity with adding books not in the local DB (it would probably help if I had started with nice, normal, shows an ISBN mainstream books and not a stack of niche museum-published books.) I'm tempted to see if I can get my local sysadmin to put up a local copy of it and see who I can get to join me (it's federated, so you can pull data from other places about books and you can see/interact to whatever level local shard lets you), but I decided to try it on the core site first and see if it worked out well.

So far, I like it, even with a bit of rough edges.
