I&#8217;m experiencing the same feeling I would get when I would enter a new month of blogging and leave the previous month collapsed, except for some reason this time the feeling is around twelve times as strong.  There is probably a way of configuring my blog so everything isn&#8217;t collapsed, but don&#8217;t worry &#8212; I have resigned myself to this collapsosity already.<\/p>\n<p>My doodling days might be behind me.  A long time ago it stopped being about the doodle &#8212; now it&#8217;s more about the drugs and the sex and the booze.  Where did it all go wrong?

It may be the last doodle I doodily-do.<\/p>\n<p>MizSplotchy got us a subscription to Netflix for Christmas.  With a constant influx of awesome movies, will I still brave the urban jungle of LaGrange for my <a href=\"http:\/\/isplotchy.com\/blog\/2007\/06\/two-buck-schmuck-celebration.html\" target=\"_blank\">Two Buck Schmuck<\/a> feature?  <\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/isplotchy.com\/blog\/search\/label\/iSplotchy\">iSplotchy campaign<\/a> has stalled.  I have a reasonably clever idea on how to steal <a href=\"http:\/\/twomins.blogspot.com\/\">GKL<\/a> from the clutches of her running mate <a href=\"http:\/\/monkeymucker.blogspot.com\/\">Dr. Monkey Von Monkerstein<\/a>, but I am so bad and lazy at Photoshop that it likely won&#8217;t ever happen.  And if it doesn&#8217;t happen, that&#8217;s pretty much it for the iSplotchy.  Paging, <a href=\"http:\/\/zaiusnation.blogspot.com\/\">Dr. Zaius<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>Here are some things I would like to get done in 2008, which may or may not be interesting to readers of this blog:<\/p>\n<ul><\/p>\n<li>Complete some music for the soundtrack of a short film for my NOLA traveling buddy Andy<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>Start and finish a 15 minute short film from a script I have written<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>Start or join a rock &#8216;n roll band and play a couple gigs<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>An incredibly cool themed week on this blog that I don&#8217;t want to give any hints as to what it is, because it will be difficult to pull off, but boy if I do, it&#8217;s going to rock your freaking socks off<\/li>\n<p><\/ul>\n<p>Assuming I get it off the ground, the short film will take up a huge chunk of my time for the year.  Right now the film seems more of a dream than a reality, but by declaring an intent on this blog to do something has so far helped me with my follow through, so here&#8217;s hoping it does the same for me here.<\/p>\n<p>I would appreciate that no calamitous events occur which completely derail my plans.  Not so much that I don&#8217;t like a curveball thrown my direction every once in a while, it&#8217;s just that I&#8217;m not particularly fond of calamitous events.<\/p>\n<p>Besides my goals for 2008, I&#8217;ll probably continue to share assorted bits from my life.   For example, at an activity room in the Illinois State Museum over this past weekend, my daughter was looking at things through a magnifying glass.  I asked her, &#8220;How does that look through the magnifying glass?&#8221; to which she replied, &#8220;Bigger.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Yours in hopeful uncertainty,<\/p>\n<p>Splotchy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To people who have been blogging across multiple calendar years, moving into 2008 was probably not that big a deal.
