Randomness

So I'm back. It's a new year. A new term. Semester. Whatever you want to call it. I should have had something up yesterday but my battery was flat and I didn't have time after getting home from a flight with over an hour of delays to find my charger. Which I have since located and now can use the laptop in a more mobile way.

I did intend to write on here over Christmas but evidently I didn't feel the need to. Too many other things to be doing and seeing. Bermuda does that to you. But only last night, now that I've had time to just sit and do nothing (or, relatively nothing) and must consider my course of action over this next term I suddenly realized I missed this. Especially last night when all that had been bottled up decided to show up again and for a few hours I could barely keep my thoughts organized in any way. I need a wall to scream at. But I don't exactly know why.

It's not like I had any epiphanies over the holidays. I didn't have any situations that pushed me out of my comfort zone. I wasn't forced to ponder my entire life, past, present, or future. There was nothing really that should have lead to a pile up of thoughts. And yet something did.

This is the paragraph where typically something big and life-changing would be revealed. The answer to the implied questions given above. But nope, those questions are not rhetorical. I'm just here throwing words at a computer screen to see if they stick in some recognizable order.

Seeing as I have nothing else really to speak about and I'm not even half-way through my train ride, let me throw a few random things at the screen now.

First off, while they are horribly stereotypical New Year's resolutions is something I like to take relatively seriously. Which means I always have just a few that I honestly want to keep in the coming year and beyond. Things I want to make my habits. This year, while I never wrote down a list, I have these:

• Less time on the internet. This seems to be a recurring theme. But seriously the amount of time sunk into that is quite frightening. And, now in a horribly paradoxical way...
• More regular posting on both my blogs. A subset of this is to basically get the weekly pictures up on time each week...something I've already managed to fail but that doesn't mean I'm giving up.
• More music. Seriously. It doesn't seem right that it's something I love so much and yet do so little. It annoys me.
• Keep. My. Class. Notes. Organized. The amount of time I spent just organizing stacks and stacks of paper near finals was simply amazing. I could not believe how much time was spent. Again, more generally more neatness overall (there's a difference between neatness and organized, but it's no secret that the latter is easier if the former is kept).

Secondly, if you haven't already the recent Sherlock Holmes movies are well worth watching. As well as the modern-day version that BBC is doing. While as a bit of a purist in this matter I have my complaints about them they certainly are very, very good. Just because I have to say it my biggest complaint is that in both the television series and the movies Sherlock does in fact have a love interest part that comes in. Occasionally. That irks me to no end.

But now my train ride has almost come to an end and if I don't hurry for the doors I shall be trapped in a mass of people. Something else that irks me to no end....
