My Blogging/Entertainment Resolutions for 2009

Well, it is better late than never I guess.

Start a music-based podcast.
I have access to Creative Commons licensed music, I think I have the equipment to do the technical stuff, and at least some of the knowledge of music as a pop cultural observer to put something like that together. I had a previous resolution a few years ago to start a talking podcast, but I didn't follow through on that one.

Movies I want to see:
The Machine Girl
Harold and Maude
Hit Man (a movie with Bernie Casey from the 70's)
The Day After
Pi

One new blog feature.
I don't know what it will be just yet, but I am sure I can come up with something interesting for the blog as a semi-regular feature.

Get the Pop Culture Supreme Court back together.
I have plans, schemes and ways that in my mind could make it work a little more smoothly for everyone involved and at the same time, prevents me from developing an ulcer.

This list is a little ambitious, but I think that by trying to push myself a little bit further I might end up learning a bit more about myself.
