New Year Resolutions







Listening to : Evil Ways by Santana

Liberian Girl by Michael Jackson

Crystal Ball by Keane


Another new year. For me it usually means, a chance to spend more ways learning how to waste time effectively. However, this year I might waste it in much better ways. Firstly, by buying and reading more books. Secondly by watching more televison which includes reruns. Thirdly, by trying to write. This one might be on the threshold, of pain and pleasure, wasting time and actually attempting to come up with what some might label trash.


And lastly, I have decided to finish all Agatha Christie by this year. Given below are all of her works. I have read a few, mon ami.
