Hi everyone,

It has been kind of a crazy week, and I did not have time to put together a more meaningful post. So here is an update on my goals so far this year:

Eat more fruits and vegetables everyday: not going so well. I have made a habit of adding at least one piece of fruit everyday but I was hoping to get to the point of eating a real fruit smoothie everyday. I’ll get there. Just takes time and focus.

Read or Listen to 50 books: thanks to volumes of manga I am doing very well at this. Here is the list so far:

MPD Psycho Volumes 1 – 5 by Eiji Otsuka and Sho-u Tajima (This is my current favorite and obsession. It is hard and expensive to get, but I got lucky and now have all 11 volumes.)

Zombiepowder Volume 1 by Tite Kubo (This series reminds me a lot of Trigun)

Dark Water by Koji Suzuki and Meimu

Bokurano: Ours Volume 1 by Mohiro Kitoh and Moiro Kitoh

One Punch-Man Volumes 1 – 2 by ONE and Yusuke Murata

World Trigger Volume 1 by Daisuke Ashihara

Blame! Volume 1 by Tsutomu Nihei (Tsutomu Nihei is my current favorite manga producer. Is work is visually interesting and his stories are personal and yet vast and weird. He is also the author of Biomega and Knights of Cydonia)

Hard Luck Hank: Screw the Galaxy by Steven Campbell (Audio)

Watch 5 complete anime series: I have watched two: Terraformars and Psycho Pass 2

Work out 3 days a week: this has been a no go as my back is in a bad state these days. I am working with my Physical Therapist and my Chiropractor on this. My back is slowly getting better.

Go to at least 3 now Con ATC (Anime Twin Cities) events: so far, I have attended one event: Outpost Anime.
