happy new year! ♥
So I checked my old posts from this time of the year, and striked the new year resolutions from 2010 that I accomplished. Wasn't much. So here are 2011's.
Also, I kept a list of everything I read/watched/played on 2010. I liked this method to keep a record of stuff, I think I'm repeating it this year. So if you want to use this post to ask me about one of the items in the list, go ahead! :D

Shit must be done
- Academical/laboring
- Finish your end-of-degree project and present it.
- GRADUATE ALREADY.
- Get a fucking job.
- Learn more programming languages.
- Be a better LJ friend/citizen. Stop being so shy and lurky; comment more, post more. It's not fun to be always a tsundere.
- Revamp and rebuild mercury retro. Make it sassy.
- Build at least one fansite or shrine.
- Do icons.
- Scan the rest of your Keterburgers doujinshi.
- Read more books.
- Post about things you read/watch/play. Be funny again. Even if you must follow crazy ideas.
- Write more. Roleplay more.
- Revive Nectarade! and post more about mythology.
- Get Norse myth textbooks
Internet and fandom

Get Norse myth textbooks
If you find any good ones, I'd love to know the titles!
no subject
I wish I could find any here! They're rare in Spanish for some reason, you find millions of Greek/Roman, a few of Egyptian, a little of Celtic, but no Norse. So I'll have to import them in English or illegally download them. A friend recced me some, but I have to look for the post. I'll tell you when I find it ^^

Okay, it took me a while but here (http://rainmage.livejournal.com/478151.html?thread=5115335#t5115335) are the recs she gave me.
Most of the free ebooks I've seen around (most of them are public domain books and terribly old, of course) are either A-Z dictionaries or thick translations of Eddas. It must be rare to find normal mythology books with chapters and long explanations and summaries of epics like the good Greek-Roman ones.
no subject
Yes, I have parts of the Eddas and a few (very old) books with collections of stories and myths, but they seem pretty randomly selected and I'd love to have some kind of guide that covered the whole field better and contained deeper analyzes and explanations. I'll definitely take a look at those recs, they all seem interesting!

I should take a look at those Zelda manga series, they look fun :) (although the final bosses of Spirit Tracks are driving me crazy atm kjhfd;jkfl)
no subject
Some of the books' structure seem to be something similar to a Doctor Who episode seen from the POV of the one-shot characters: the quality varies from one to the another, but you're pretty much reading because you like the charismatic Doctor (except here it's an interdimensional magical guy, the Chrestomanci, instead of a time-traveling alien) and he saves the day anyway. DWJ seems to prefer to leave her Quirky Metrosexual Magicians (Howl, Christopher) as secondary characters even though they're chewing the stage curtains and the series is called after them, which is odd.
The Zelda mangas are fun, sometimes serious, but really cute. If you want to read the ones for the N64 games, go ahead, as they changed the plot for the Ocarina one and it's not exactly like the game. So you're only spoiling yourself for some twists, but enough to enjoy the 3DS remake anyway!

Espero que puedas ir cumpliendo todo lo de esa lista ;3;
geez debería haber hecho una lista de propósitos también.no subject
Las listas de propósitos son deprimentes, porque luego ves al año siguiente lo que no has hecho y es como ORZ HE MALGASTADO MI AÑO y eso D: Y es que si no cumplo con dos cosas al menos de la primera parte, mi familia me va a caer encima por loser :Db *28 años y sin título ni trabajo yaaaaay*

Por curiosidad: En tu lista vi The social Network, ¿es tan terrible como suena?
no subject
A mí me aburrió horrores, pero conozco gente que le encantó así que NPI. Pero realmente no se ve nada de Facebook per se, sino de los Doramas Douchebag entre computer nerds con ego y niños fresas de Harvard y todas las demandas que vinieron por eso. Pero en resumidas, los mayores conflictos son a) LIEKOMG ESE CABRÓN QUE CONTRATAMOS NOS ROBÓ LAS IDEAS y b) MI BFF ME DEJÓ POR EL TIPO DE NAPSTER Y ME DEBE MUCHOS MONEYS.
