Happy New Year 2010! My resolutions

Hope you all had a safe and and and happy celebration. Now's the time to set some resolutions (besides losing those extra pounds, the most borrrrrring pledge in the world). Here are a few of mine for 2010. I resolve to:
-- read at least one book from each of the continents. I'll even try for Antarctica, though its literary heritage is somewhat spotty. That should ensure that the whole year isn't spent re-reading the Twilight series.
-- read one book by Nobel Prize winner Herta Muller, to see what all the fuss is about. (I whiffed on this last year; two books by Le Clezio are still in my TBR pile.)
-- read at least one unread classic. (Yes, Nancy, that may mean that I finally get to "Pride and Prejudice.")
-- read every book assigned by my book club -- before the meeting. (If you're in a book club, that's harder than it sounds.)
There, I feel better already.

Updated: Mythbusters regular Erik Gates dies after 30ft fall, picture

sad news, Erik Gates, a regular guest on the discovery channel show Mythbusters has died as result of a freak accident.

Gates was working onsite for his electrical company when he fell through a skylight. He suffered serious blunt trauma to the chest and then died.

Gates guest starred on four episodes of Mythbusters as the "amateur rocket expert". He was very involved in rocketry, even creating his own website called Gates Brother Rocketry.

The official mythbusters twitter account sent out two tweets honoring Gates saying, "Team MB wishes to express our deepest sympathies on the passing of our beloved rocket expert, Erik." and "You were an honorary MythBuster and will be sorely missed."

It was earlier mistakenly reported that one of Erik's brothers, Dirk Gates, had also recently died as well, but that is UNTRUE and deep, sincere apologies and condolences go out to the family and friends of Erik Gates.
