what are you doing new year's, new year's eeeeeeeve?

hello, kids! it's that time of year again, time to shout 'out with the old and in with the new!' time to symbolically start again. and you know what that means...resolutions!
i have spent many years making those big traditional resolutions--you know, quit smoking, go to the gym, give up...whatever. and i've never really been able to adhere to them. so this year, i'm taking a different approach. on the advice of a good friend, i'm regarding my resolutions more as a to do list, full of things that i would really help make the year a better one. so, here they are, in all their glory:

1. drink a glass of cranberry juice every morning.


2. listen to more al green.


3. leave the city at least once every six weeks, even if this just means taking the metro north commuter rail to some little hamlet in westchester county.


4. worry less, or at least try and keep things in perspective.


5. make another attempt to plow through 'gravity's rainbow'

and that's what's on the table at the moment. suggestions for additions, augmentations and substitutions are welcomed.


what's on your to-do list?
