Not hardcore enough to be ultra nerdy, but it's not that shallow, either.

Sci-Fi Year in Review
I know I slacked here. There's no doubt about it. I did, however, get some things done, so let's go over them.


*Nuclear**Nuclear**Nuclear*


Books:
*Checkb*
ASIN: 0060892994
Product Type: Book
Amazon's Price: $ 10.49

To my amazement, I actually accomplished my reading goals! *Shock* I do think is was a good idea to limit myself to two books this year, and next year looks even busier. Since I bought Alas, Babylon, I'll make that my sole writing project for 2011.

Yeah. That's it. I failed abysmally here. As I said before somewhere, the ol' Netflix queue has been bloated all year. Since the Instant Play setup actually works on my kind of ancient laptop, I'll try to use that more often so I can lighten the load on my DVD list and get to Boy A more quickly. Ahem. I have decided that A Scanner Darkly will be watched in the new year come Hell or high water. I might ask for movie suggestions next holiday season.

TV shows:
*Checkb* Heroes
*Checkb* FlashForward


I'm still a little wibbly about both shows being canceled, but given how busy this year ended up being, it might be for the best. I really don't know how much headway I'll make on Doctor Who, but Season 1 is top priority in this area. I don't think I have any room to pick up another show.

Writing:
Yeah, I'm going here!


I told Jay's debut novel is out now! Author Icon about a sci-fi skijumping story I brainstormed while reminiscing about a short story in the genetics chapter of a science textbook from my middle school days. (Boy, was that a convoluted sentence.) I actually started an origins-type story based on a Gauntlet prompt ("Practice is nothing to be sneezed at."). The actual story (tenatively titled "Green Peace") will hopefully get started in the latter half of 2011. Likewise, there will be more fanfic because I have no shame (plus got some ideas from revisiting Doctor Who). Of course, the fanfic will go on my FF.net page. If I get anywhere with "Green Peace", you'll see it here. Of course, I'd like to get some work done on "Northern Escape" first. We'll see.


So yeah. I'll spend 2011 playing catchup on an overreaching agenda. Good times.
