Happy New Year everyone! (Well nearly). Here’s to 2008; the year I will return to Japan, the Olympics will rock China and Amy Winehouse will inevitably go the way of the Spears and shave her horrible hair off.

As is customary, I thought I’d make a few New Year’s Resolutions, starting with the most obvious;

1. I will update this blog more
Even though my course is killing me, I’m determined to try to double the output of Japan Is Doomed. I’m going to write more “comedy” articles where I try desperately to be funny, as in my recent °C-ute article. Some time ago I promised a few updates about tricks for remembering Japanese language, and I’ll endeavour to write those in the new year too.
I also promise to settle on a look. I’ve been changing it quite often recently whilst I find a look that I’m happy with - I quite like the current one but there are some glaring errors that I may have to switch because of. I don’t want to say what they are because then you’ll go find them and be annoyed.

In the back of my mind, I know that no post will ever generate as much interest as these photos, particularly in my email inbox. Thus, my second resolution is to;

2. Take Up Tae Kwon Do
Sadly, Sheffield University doesn’t offer a Shorinji course, so I chose the martial art that looks the coolest. After all, that’s what’s really important, right? I’ll be high kicking, screaming and limping into 2008.

My final resolution is incredibly predictable, but I have to put it;

3. Practice Kanji Harder
Which reminds me…I’m putting off studying right now to write this.

Comment with your resolutions!
