Resolutions

I don't normally resolve to accomplish things for the New Year. But hell, now is as good a time as any other to improve myself. Because I sure as fuck need improving.

-Read More

I meant to read 100 books this year. Then 50. I capped at 35 completed books. So, more than 35 books in 2011. It's about improvement.

-Write every day

I sure as fuck haven't been doing that. And isn't that the appeal of grad school? Isn't that why I came?

-Eat more raw produce.

And less pizza, tacos, chocolate chocolate chocolate. Thank you Sam's Club membership for allowing me to buy veggies and fruit in bulk for cheap.

-Read more online journals/magazines.

I've really quit doing this since I moved to Tuscaloosa. I miss it.

-Drink Less

At least during the week. Hard to read if I'm drunk.

-Less facebook, Less television.

Oh stalking, great usurper of my time. Oh 30 rock and Mad Men.

-Be more organized/clean.

Oh desk you are so gross. Time to throw away and straighten. Every time I open the cabinets, pots and pans fall out. One fell on the cat's head.



2011's motto:
See more, do more, go more.

"It was never my intention to be actual."
--Joe Wenderoth, Letters to Wendy's

new year is going to have fucking resolutions.

"No thought is worthy of clarification. Clarification is just the process the fantasy needs to pretend its on the way to itself. Fuck clarification; give me the meat and leave me alone."
-Joe Wenderoth, Letters to Wendy's

"What I want is for the collision to be more decisive."
-Joe Wenderoth, Letters to Wendy's

Because Alabama was up to 110 degrees this summer, I thought it wouldn't get very cold this winter. That was wrong. Very very wrong. And my house is uninsulated. And the heater gets warm but does not spread that heat through the house. If I hug the heater it warms me some. The space heater is not worth a shit either and can APPARENTLY not be taken into the bed. It will set things (or human flesh) aflame.

oh cami park.

ehhh?

What's that lit journal I should be reading that I haven't been?

oh break

DC hotel for AWP-booked.
Other AWP monies- Paid.

No class/work until Jan 12th. Trying to do productive things, but I find myself watching movies and taking naps at odd hours. Still pushing to read 50 books by the end of the year.

Am trying to collaborate with Ben Spivey on a thing, unless he decides I suck, which would be okay because Ben Spivey is a super-talented nice guy.
