… or my wishes for the coming year. Because resolutions are for the unresolved.
- Design to come back to web design. I blame MySpace for the idea that you can read something when it has a strikethrough on it, against a background of some fantasy art. Kids- if you want your website to look like a bordello, make sure it’s a classy one that doesn’t burn your retinas. (As for grammar, punctuation and spelling, that battle has already been lost.)
- Women to stop emotionally blackmailing men. You know what? We’re more equal now than we have been before. Woo. But too often we make men second guess our every move, and that means that often men can never be themselves. While we’re on the subject, stop making putting down men as a sport. Just because they act like a dick doesn’t mean that you can rip it off to parade to the world.
- The word ‘Cloontang’ to become part of our everyday lexicon. George Clooney does nothing for me. But Cloontang…
- Politics to become interesting again. Dare me to stop becoming apathetic and give me a point of difference, because I need feel something towards government. The only thing I look forward to these days is the electoral process, and that’s only because of the statistics/ the chance to see infighting live on television.
- Skanky celebrities to either wear underwear or learn to get out of a car properly. You know what I’m talking about. Everyone does.
- My wish for gaming: more offline coop. I’m fine with the trend towards online games, but not when I can’t play a game with somebody next to me.
- We live in the era of digital photography. So why do people insist on taking photos of themselves in front of mirrors? You turn the camera on yourself. You take some pictures. You delete the ones that don’t work. Rinse. Repeat. No mirror required, and you can do all of the posing you want.
- Change the cinema advertising, dammit. If I have to see Bianca Henderson using her cancer- free body to go on a substance- assisted dance night again, I don’t know what I’ll do. And thank you for reminding me that downloading movies is illegal… makes me glad I limit my downloading to broadcast television.
