I improved my life and broke bad habits by finding employment, a learner's permit, and taking better care of myself and my home. Somehow got ahold of an SNES classic despite the odds.

I moved into a better apartment closer to some other friends and dyed my hair blue, so at least that part of 2017 was pretty good

2017 was a garbage year for me including losing my apartment of 9 years due to landlord fuckery, but i still zagged by not winding up homeless so perhaps the true zag was still mine in the end

I know bad Who. My favorite non-Capaldi Doctor never had a good episode on TV, or even an okay one.

Widow and Wardrobe is the only time I've fallen asleep watching an episode of Doctor Who for the first time. It's just loving nothing.

I got used to having a son and functioning on 4 hours of sleep, and we just celebrated his first birthday! I zagged on 'em by finally getting my RPG writing and publishing to the point I can actually make money from it, and now I'm trying to work out if I can move to writing full time. Who knows what 2018 will bring, though.

I quit an intensely lovely and high stress programming job and now work for a charity teaching computing and music to socially disadvantaged people. I don't know if I was consciously zagging, but the thought did occur to me as it was happening.

That being said, I also took up jiujitsu after a lifetime of wanting to learn a martial art, and that was 100% inspired by 37 year old yellow belt Justin McElroy, thanks Hoops.

twenty serpentine finally reversed a year and a half long horrible situation that destroyed my life in 2016 when it took my home, my job, and nearly every relationship i had, but damnit, i endured and finally won. i finally won. and then got fired from my job at the garbage store that i had to take in the meantime. SERPENTINE'd baby!!!! i also got to see the bros live much earlier, though. so i'm down for 2018, the blank slate.

I watched the entire goddamn The Pest (1997) major motion picture because of these fucks. It took two tries, I had to give up the first time thirty eight minutes in at the snake fighting scene, and up to that point I'd spent most of it just passively disgusted at the thing in front of me while trying to pay as much attention to my phone as possible. It's probably the most bigoted movie I've ever seen, including youtube videos of people screaming racial epithets at protesters, and I can only recommend it on the grounds that (1) it is a bit like a Brillo pad for the soul and (2) it's comforting knowing that someone else is feeling the same pain that you are.

All in all, eight out of ten.
