2014: Journal in Review
With another year drawing to a close, once more I'm quoting the first sentence of the first post of each month of it. As my Livejournal friends list gets awfully quiet and my Dreamwidth reading list continues to not have very many people on it, there are times, partway through certain weeks, where I do feel like I'm pushing a familiar boulder in a familiar direction, and having seen one member of my friends list shift towards the more upscale environs of Wordpress this year I can wonder if I'm "doing things halfway" and should either try and post somewhere where people might actually comment or just dust my hands together with relief. At the same time, the site structure around here certainly makes it easy to delve back into my own content.
January: To get things started this time around, I decided to pick up at a midpoint.
February: Back in high school, I found a box of old issues of "The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction" from the late 1970s and early 1980s one day in the corner of a portable classroom.
March: BYTE was around for a good while so far as computer magazines go, from the days of enthusiasts soldering together their own microcomputer kits to at least the first years of "official web sites."
April: As the new year started, I had a new plan for how to keep chipping away at the heap of anime DVDs and Blu-Rays I've managed to pile up.
May: In another last flurry of contributions, the third and concluding DVD set from the online streaming and crowdfunding site Anime Sols for the series Dear Brother has been funded.
June: The combination "hard disk PVR"/"DVD recorder" I bought a few years ago has seemed a useful gadget, even if most of the discs I've recorded "for later," what with not watching many "network" or "cable" shows these days, are old films off of Turner Classic Movies.
July: I continued to watch a considerable amount of anime in the past three months, but as it seems I always have to find something to be concerned about somewhere with respect to it, I was aware in the first days of April that while new series were being announced for release through official streaming, I would look at those announcements and not feel compelled to watch them.
August: I was thinking it was getting to be time to make another post to this journal but wondering just what it could be about when I happened to see a notice that it's now been a round fifty years since the Ranger 7 space probe hit the Moon.
September: Having finished another official Mystery Science Theater 3000 DVD collection, I can once again take a look at the juxtaposition between episodes I've seen before and the new bonus features included.
October: With the news that one of the ships of the lost Franklin expedition had been found sunken in the Arctic, I started wondering how long it would be before we knew just which of the two ships the wreck was.
November: Continuing my once-a-year visit to the Star Wars movies, I'm also continuing to think through a few "personal theories" I've been forming for a while now.
December: It was getting to me as I started into the latest volume of The Complete Peanuts that there wouldn't be many more to go, but this reminded me yet again of the possibility I might read this one and not be able to, or not want to, say anything about it.
See you in the new year!
