You better cool it off before you burn it out
You got so much to do and only
So many hours in a day"

How did I stack up against my NYE Resolutions?
Write more (short films, a novel?)
Not so good, as you can see this blog is updated infrequently (a thing that I'm always trying to fix). I have some ideas for a short film I'd love to write. And I have found a writing partner, Jeremy (who is also an actor), for the web series I've been talking about for years. So with a bit of luck that will get off the ground this year or into next.
Start a podcast
Short answer: no. Excuse/plan: The web series will benefit from a lot of research, talking to different people about their experiences growing up in Canberra, so the plan is, with their permission, to release those interviews as a podcast. But again, we'll wait and see.
Learn to play piano
I bought a midi keyboard. I toyed around with it for a week or so. And haven't really touched it since. I think once again this ends up in the "one day" pile.
Work on more films
Not yet. Jeremy has put me in contact with some people working on a few films, so I plan to help out where I can.
Read more
I purchased a Kindle and more books then I've read. I did finish The Council Of Dads however, and really enjoyed it. I'm currently reading The War Of Art and plan to re-read the Hitchhikers series again. My friend Mark is also planning on starting a book club on G+.
Get in shape (lose some weight)
Not so much. Is waiting for summer a good excuse?
Game more
Pretty much the opposite. I started a new job earlier in the year and it's kept me really busy. But at the same time, I've been enjoying not gaming. There is a D&D game starting up on Monday nights that I will be playing in, and I hope to run a StarGate campaign soon, so I'm getting back into it.
See more movies in the cinema
I'm not sure I could name a movie I've seen in the cinema this year.
Care less about what people think
Bingo. This one I have done.
