I’m sure you’re also wondering what my 2014 resolutions are. This year I’m going to have a few that are year-long resolutions but also have month-long resolutions. So, for example in February I’ll be vegetarian and in July I’ll study Italian every day. Goals for the year include submitting a manuscript for publication, giving up pop, medaling in a 10K, and watching every film that appears on both versions of the AFI’s top 100 list (there’re about 33 I haven’t seen). What are your goals for the upcoming year?
