1. What did you do in 2007 that you'd never done before?
Got a kidney stone. Quit drinking soda. Started drinking a lot more coffee. Started waking up on a regular basis before 4pm. Started waking up on a semi-regular basis at 10am, which is about the time I used to be just getting to bed.
2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
Kinda. My resolution was to watch less movies and more tv. I did watch fewer movies (this year was 349, last year was 522), but barely watched more television (this year was 17 seasons, last year was 15). I probably made a resolution to make a movie, too, which I did. I haven't thought of any for this year.

A VHS/DVD combo player that can also play avi files and various other downloaded movie files. You can't set it to show the Remaining Time, only Elapsed, which is something very important to me, but aside from that, it's a fucking awesome player.
