At some point in the near future I’m probably just going to move the WordPress install I’ve got up over at more++ and start ignoring all four topics in a single centralized location.

Other than that, life goes on. After a few weeks of nervous hemming and hawing, I’ve decided I like my BlackBerry Storm. At first I didn’t know how much of my affinity for it was because it was my first BB and how much was because it was the Storm, I’ve decided that it doesn’t matter. The .75 firmware release helped with a lot of the initial beefs I (and the rest of the world) had with the device, and I’m downloading the leaked .85 release as we speak, which is supposed to be leaps and bounds better yet.

My 32nd birthday is coming up this week. I only mention it because I’ll be glad when it’s over. The period of the year between Thanksgiving and my birthday is always profoundly depressing, and this year was no exception. I’ve never been happier to see a year change on the calendar, and if it wasn’t for Barack Obama winning the election, this year would have been a total disaster.

While I despise the idea that the New Year is the only time when you can make positive change in your life, for once I’ve got in my mind a wishlist of self-improvements. For starters, I need to get serious about eliminating dairy from my diet so that I don’t end up choking to death in my sleep from lungs full of mucus. Gruesome, but that’s my misery. Once I can breathe again, I’ll think about getting back to the gym. I’m not going to be one of those January workout tourists. But if I can make time for it, I know it’d do me good on a lot of levels.

We’ll see.
