I had a really strange dream last night that I was having an argument with Atomic Dog on the OCR forums.

Then I remembered this place existed.

So my resolution for 2012 is to show my face around here more often.

Really? I guess it was only a matter of time. Since I have you on the horn, catch me up on everything that's happened at OCR since April 2010, which was my last login.

A shit ton of albums were released. Like over a dozen.

Oh, and the site still hasn't updated.

I actually just posted a blog on this same topic. Check it out:

For 2012, I'd like to be more reliable.

2011 was a great year for both me and Addie. I presented my first musicology paper at "Music and the Moving Image" -- a paper on how the music of Left 4 Dead is designed to communicate gameplay information to players.

My resolutions for next year, in order of importance:

Pass my Master's exams and receive my MA in Musicology.

Write an full-length academic paper and publish it to the web, making it public to anyone that wants to see it.

Sing for another OCR track.

Start a blog and make an entry at least once every two weeks.

Look into the possibility of creating an academic conference focusing on the study of video game music; if it's possible, start one!

Late to the party, but might as well chip in.

2011 was huge for both my wife and I, but mostly me.

Spent half the year unemployed. Ouch
Got Married, with no debt. Yay!
Moved to Minnesota with no debt. Yay!
Bought a new car. Yay!
FINALLY FINISHED COLLEGE. Yay!
Commited to MAGFest! Yay!

So upcoming goals for 2012
Continue to develop my musical chops, specifically composition and keyboard.
Release an original track.
Compete in DoD again.
Save up and buy a home.
Kill off 1/4 of my college and car debt by the end of the year. 70k total to pay off, so about 18k over 12 months.
Lose 10 lbs
Stay employed through the year. Currently contracted, so small gaps in jobs (1-2 weeks) are permissible.
Get wife involved in an online community outside of WoW. Working on OCR, but if she goes somewhere else, that's awesome as well.
Stop raiding in WoW, pick up new hobbies.
Prep for MAGFest again in 2013
Travel to China or Greece
Learn beginner Mandarin

Probably an easy goal to have, but one that will be very hard to achieve: have a happier life than last year's.
