Oh gee, a blog post!

I was going to Vlog this because I genuinely don't have too much time for the website these days, and everyone knows that speaking takes less time than writing. (Only a little if you're me, but that's besides the point). Unfortunatley, today was the day that my camera decided to lag like a motherfucker, so I've been forced to do this. That and my throat hurts like a bitch after drinking on saturday.

Anyway, I figured that I should probably go through my seasonal (Christmas and New Year) check-list and tell you what happened to some of the things I promised. Excuses are in bold.

• A special, festive review or two. - Done.
  
• An audio commentary for a film. - My microphone decided to kill itself over the holiday. This and a lack of time meant that the project went unstarted. I've been promising this for a while now, so I'll look into it when I get the chance.
  
• Some new fiction. - No time/no motivation/'I was working on my novel' excuse.
  
• A completed essay. - I honestly had no idea what to write about.
  
• A 'best of the decade' list. - It got started; I will attempt to find the time to finish it in the next few days.
  

What else can I say? I'm genuinely busy most of the time; either working on my novel, working for university, or trying to maintain my social life (which you still aren't privy to). I did have the intention of adding some form of political blog entry here; but Bytes Media isn't really the format for it.
