Book A Month

I made a few New Year's resolutions.

The first one I've been serious about all year long and is just a continuation of what I started in 2012 (Eating food that is better for me, even when it's fast food).

One was a Pipe Dream that has already been restructured ("Get To The Gym At Least Three Times A Week", never made it to the Gym *once*, has been mutated in to "Do At Least One 30-Minute Block Of Physical Activity Per Day" and that seems to be working out okay).

The third one, which was proposed by a local used book store, is to read at least one novel per month. Not a comic book, not a "Graphic Novel", not a collection of short stories, but a NOVEL. So far, I'm doing okay with that.

Reading "The Hunger Games"as my first novel, because I'm a Reverse Hipster. "Yeah I'm reading a book, you've probably heard of it already because they made it in to a major motion picture - it's pretty main-stream. Of course *I* read it AFTER is was a big thing..."

Emerald City Comic Con

I think we're getting a hotel room this year. I think it's going to be at the Sherraton Hotel, half a block from the convention center. Kind of excited!

But if I'm going to aford this, I really need to list more stuff on Ebay. I have a ton of Heroscape stuff listed right now, but that'll only cover one night! I need two nights, parking AND spending money!

But wow wouldn't it be nice to just walk half a block and then TA DAAAAA there's all my stuff, instead of lugging it all to the car and then driving home while fighting off the Con Sleepiness, then getting hom and knowing that I fully intend to get up in like 3 hours to drive back to the convention for the second day?
