Last Year:
… I hit the books and became a certified programmer and web developer (so now I get paid to waste my time in front of a computer).
… I worked for the world’s largest privately-held financial services and fund manager (who, in retrospect, I really should have used more to manage my funds).
… I worked for my favourite terrestrial TV channel in the whole world (that which introduced reality TV to the UK).
… I clocked up ~14,000 miles on my car (for work and for pleasure).
… I lived 9 months of the year away from my home town (and experienced whole towns that aren’t used to people with London accents).
… I purchased my first SLR camera; a model that first hit stores round about the time I was born (no, really).

This Year:
… I will endeavour to be more shutter happy than last year (using more manual settings).
… I will write make more journal entries than last year (shouldn’t be too hard unless I end up living >9 months away from my home town).
… I will build a new computer from scratch (and it better be faster than my current one).
… I will use my graphics tablet more (and in the process hopefully become a half decent digital illustrator/painter).
… I will once again holiday in Asia (and once again gorge myself on its economically viable fine cuisine and fine electronics).

Yesterday:
… I made some gyoza at home and then subsequently unmade ~15 of them (read: ate ~15 of them).
… I consumed exactly 1.05 pineapple buns and 1.1 red bean paste pancakes (A good thing my S.O. advocates sharing).
… I purchased a new shaving razor (After losing my last one - a case currently being investigated by special agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully).
… Was one of my best friends’ birthday (and I can confirm he approved of his presents).

Today:
… I purchased a new Ermenegildo Zegna suit (now my favourite suit, although I don’t look anything in the same region of cool as Adrien Brody).
… I ate Chicken Katsu Curry for dinner (after craving something curried all day).
… I watched Bowling for Columbine with commentary from the film’s interns (Because the interns are usually the ones with the better stories *wink*).

Tomorrow:
… I will wake up early and drive down to the south coast (and if the weather is nice, hit the beach *cough*).
… I will possibly find out which company I will be working for next (hopefully another one of my favourite companies, but will settle for one with more money than sense).

Eventually:
… I will figure out the meaning of life (and thus retire early).
