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.

Shit must be done

Academical/laboring


1. Finish your end-of-degree project and present it.
2. GRADUATE ALREADY.
3. Get a fucking job.
4. Learn more programming languages.

Internet and fandom


5. 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.
6. Revamp and rebuild mercury retro. Make it sassy.
7. Build at least one fansite or shrine.
8. Do icons.
9. Scan the rest of your Keterburgers doujinshi.
10. Read more books.
11. Post about things you read/watch/play. Be funny again. Even if you must follow crazy ideas.
12. Write more. Roleplay more.
13. Revive Nectarade! and post more about mythology.
14. Get Norse myth textbooks

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

Thanks! I haven't found many good ones here either, which is a little sad considering my location. It's easy to find works that are targeted towards kids, but larger and more comprehensive guides are rare.

Wow, that's pretty weird o_o And a little depressing, even.

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.

Oh, thank you!

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!
