The Website at the End of the Universe presents its free science-fiction calendar for 2006 (it can be downloaded here). This year’s theme is “women in peril”, ilustrated with pulp covers that won’t be unknown to those familiar with the old sci-fi style–a different cover for each month.Said calendar being free, let’s click the linkie and get it!
Into 2006 we now are. It’s odd. Poof, in a snap of fingers, it was 00:01, and another year. Where has 2005 gone?
Time is a weird, weird concept.
I’m not taking any resolutions for the year. Resolutions begin to sound like saying “I’ll go to the gym every day”, only to give up comes February because I want to make it too much, too fast, too perfect. I don’t see why I should bother with resolutions–I’ll do what I have to do, but on my terms, not because January 1st is some kind of magical number that will make everything easier. I don’t need a new year to start exercising more, or write more (already doing it, anyway). Let’s see, if I hadn’t taken my “resolution” in summer, I’d have started working on my writing now, instead of six months earlier!
Alright, this is said in joke. However, I still haven’t listed any. They just don’t feel right. They sound like some compulsory task, like an automatism everybody has to go through because it’s a new year. Resolutions can be taken and started any day, and I’ll decide on mine when the right time comes.
In the meantime, I hope that 2006 wil be a good year for everyone!
