Now that we’re on the downhill side of the last month of 2006, it’s time for a no-muss no-fuss look at my resolves for the coming new year:
- To conversate in Spanish
- To comprehend Flash and build me a new-fangled website with it
- To continue to pound the pavement of my neighborhoods and build a catalog of imagery
- To go to Yosemite
- To stand atop Death Valley’s Eureka Dunes
- To put more miles on my bicycle than my truck
- To read Cervantes’ “Don Quixote”
- To stand on a scale and have it read 195
- To document the rise and demise of next year’s Echo Park Lake lotus grove with a daily photo of its progress
On a much tighter time frame, today I resolve to:
- Get a haircut
- Replicate a photo of mine someone found on Flickr who is interested in running it on the cover of a local literary catalog but needs a high-res version I don’t have, dangit
- Get a Christmas tree
- Decorate it
- Sweep/rake up the backyard
- Review my planned public transit route to get me to/from work tomorrow
- And if there’s any other time left after all that’s done, maybe a bike ride as payback for the pizza we had last night while watching the thorougly enjoyable “Cars”
UPDATED (5:12 p.m.): Got everything on today’s list done. Yay! Except the bike ride. Boo!
