It’s the beginning of a new year. I have never been one to make and/or keep New Year’s Resolutions but I do find it useful to take time and reflect on the things I dedicate the majority of my time, attention and presence to. I try my best to remain diligent with the longer-term commitments I’ve made while making room for shorter-term and new commitments, too. Sometimes my interests change, and that means reorganizing my priorities periodically.
Speaking of new interests, I’ve been spending a lot of time on social networks! Okay, maybe a little too much time…but I have been networking with like minded professionals and activity partners. No, really!
Also new – a few friends and I have been throwing around the idea of starting a (mostly) science fiction and fantasy movie club and discussion group in the spring, so that little project is next on the drafting board. The idea came mostly from a regular movie night I’ve hosted on and off for the last couple of years and because we saw the need for a more genre-specific venue within our community. There are several outlets for the larger cineastic community in the Denver area to plug in to, but none cater specifically to the (bio/tech/gaming/cyber/fantasy) geek culture myself and most of my friends belong to. Any suggestions on how to organize are very welcome
